Fraiser's manga / #Early 2000s(57)

• Delinquent x Good Boy Good boy MC becomes roommates at school with Delinquent classmate. They fall in love.

Story shows the perspective of what it's like to grow up as girl, what society expects, & the feelings. I skimmed story

Rather than the unattainable princely classmate, girl likes his gross bad boy brother. He seems mean, but she is the one to unwrap his kind layers! or something... Read chp.1

Cute aesthetics!

2000. Story focuses on the interpersonal relationships of girls & their interactions. There is also a consciousness of the time period in addition to this. This shows girls' roles in society. Girls do not feel passive; they have their desires & act on them. It's interesting to see how they live. This manga particularly contrasts how girls in the present have freedom in contrast to the restrictiveness of the past. Thoughtful contemplation of relationships in present (being cheap & shallow) & thoughtful in characterizing youth ( being capricious, risky, but full of freedom). I love that this was mature & gave realistically bold depictions of real life. Brilliant! Great writing. After throwing in different threads, the messages came full circle. Nice balance of realism & sweet messages about living.
