nobile's manga / #5*(220)

I really enjoyed reading this story, I just love gender benders :D I think that the only fault I could find is how her grandpa seems to have this idea that the only good place for her is as a housewife :P

Truly hilarious story about an unfortunate girl with an insensitive scientist-father, liking an open-minded, kind-hearted boy. Seriously, those two fathers and her mom were the worst.

Tearjerking love story about fireworks and a miracle.

Truly beautiful story about a family, coping with the loss of a special member, being given a second chance to love again, and how their lives changed afterwards. Really touching and beautiful, I was in tears for almost the whole thing.

First 3 chapters have the story of a girl that moved back to her parents' village, there she met and fell in love with a young potter. Second story is about a student teacher, who had her practice in her old high school. There she met her former student teacher whom she had fallen in love with, but now he's a full-time teacher and helps her out in her practice. Third story is the final chapter for the first story in Heart no Ousama, it's very slice of life, tells how they celebrate Yui's 24th birthday. I really, REALLY love how the mangaka is able to truly show how the couples express their love for each other, snuggles, kisses, hugs, caresses, they're all able to convey their intended feelings and emotions.

Somewhat of an already common story. But even despite that, the art and the way each character expresses their emotions seems so real and relatable that I can't help but love this manga. The more times I read this story, the more I end up liking it. I love the characters, I love how well their expressions are drawn, I love how the story is so simple and sweet, I love how even though I wish there were more chapters to read I'm still fine with how things ended.

This is the kind of story that makes your heart race and makes you feel all giddy inside. These two precious kids went through so much and had to mature in many ways his peers never had to, I'm super happy that they found each other and found happiness. I just wish I could read more of their story after this.

All the stories go like this: 1) Barairo no Hoo no Koro 2) J no Subete Vol.1 3) 2 Shuukan no Adventure 4) J no Subete Vol.2-3 Man... what a rollercoaster of emotions, I feel sooo bad for how much so many of them had to go through. I'm quite fortunate to have been alive in this time, when issues true equality is able to be fought for a bit more openly than back then (we still have a long way to go, but we've definitely gone a long way since those years). This series definitely is worth reading, it touches on several topics that are still quite relevant today and really makes you see how much the characters suffered throughout their lives, not just by other people's hands but by their own "demons" as well. For this particular section of the series, at first I really felt annoyed at Andrew, his attitude. Then I pitied him a bit, considering all anyone ever thought of him was "the Mayor's son", having been on a sort of similar position, I KNOW how angering that ends up being. Middle-school Paul was cutest out of ALL the characters in the entire series, I think... it was such a pity to see him all grown and changed :P Then the ending... gah. I REALLY feel bad for Andrew now, it's like nothing ever went right for him, life just kept shitting bricks on him and his lack of maturity just made things worse. I'm glad J has someone that cares for him deeply, but I think that that person could have been Andrew too, and the person for Andrew could have been Paul, you know, who knows, all three or I don't know! But it feels bad that only Andrew got the short end of the stick, all the way to the very end.

For this particular section of the series, before reading this I _really_ didn't like J, not one bit. I saw him just as "that little brat that got in the way of Paul and Andrew", but now it's like... this poor kid had so, so many horrible things happen, lived such a pained life, grew up with no self-worth whatsoever because all everyone else saw him with was disdain. I'm sure that there's still a lot I can't really understand about J's circusmtances, I don't know if there was a real desire to be a woman and not just a crossdresser; in either case really, I'm pretty certain that there's a lot of nuances that went over my head or if even J's situation was really an appropriate portrayal of someone in that position, I don't know. I don't have anyone close to me that is going through anything even remotely similar, but if there were, I wish I could do something for them.
