KareKano

Complete | masami tsuda,TSUDA Masami | 1996 released

20th Century // School Life // Slice of Life // Romance // Change in art style // Character Growth // Rivals Become Lovers // False Personality // Family Drama // Hidden tragic past // Multiple couples // Pregnancy // Time Skip ((*..*)) TBH, I found the beginning very boring. I had a hard time reading it, but later it gets a lot better with the progressing of the story and when new characters are introduced. I loved step-siblings Tsubasa and Kazuma, so adorable!! That's why I began to enjoy the reading around ch 50 (ch 48-57, approximately), when there is the development of their relationship! From ch 59, the story goes back to the main couple and finally it becomes more interesting and mature; it goes much more in depth, dealing with more serious issues and all the family drama. Maybe it's not a story I'd re-read, but overall it's good! Adapted to Anime - I think the beginning is funnier to watch in the anime, rather than in the manga, where it seemed boring to me, as I said...

Muko x Muko!? - Available here: mangago.me / read-manga / muko_x_muko / - Transfer students Misao and Eichi, the school's most popular idols, really seem to hate each other. However, the two are actually married and living together! But since moving to Japan, they decided to keep it a secret...so every morning when they arrive at school they show their dislike for each other... // 2 Stars, but it was too ridiculous. > It's obviously not to be taken seriously, but let's focus on a few things that didn't make sense and lacked explanation. First of all, they're transfer students who are said to be foreign citizens that didn't live in Japan before. So, where did they live? They have Japanese names, so are they really foreigners|mixed blood or did they simply live abroad? And what is the specific reason they moved to Japan, did they elope? And let's come to the fact that they're married...even if they decided to keep it a secret, why would they pretend to hate each other? But more than that, let's talk about the fact that the uke was already married once before with a woman (so was he straight|bisexual?) and he has a step-son, the son of that woman. The thing is the step-son has around the same age as the uke and goes to the same school, so had the uke's late wife twice his age? But more than the age gap issue, the fact is that the uke is currently a high schooler and it's already been three years since the woman died, so when did they get married? When he was around 14 or 15? It was a really weird and random story...
