RoseMary's manga / #20th Century(172)

Sequel: Thomas no Shinzou - The title story Houmonsha is a prequel to the classic manga Thomas no Shinzou and it's about the earlier life of Oscar.

Collection of 4 stories. Only the last one is missing. I liked the first and the third story. I didn't like the second one. 1) A Confession of his Own Guilty - High School // Trauma // The uke meets again the man who sexually assaulted him when he was a child // The man is now his teacher // Scar // Past Plays a Big Role // Guilt // Suicide Attempt // Love-Hate Relationship 2) Risky - Uni Student Uke x Older Brother's Friend // Seme's first time with a guy // The uke had an incestuous relationship with his brother 3) Kimi Sae Ireba... - Salarymen // Boss x Subordinate // Father-in-law x Son-in-law // Older Seme // Straight Seme // First time with a guy // Cohabitation // Both Widowers // Unexpressed Feeling // Adult Couple Sequel: Kimi Sae Ireba... (ch. 1-3 + Extra) (Not scanlated - Raw: 77mh.com / colist_195059.html) 4) Kyoushi B - // Not scanlated // - Raw: 77mh.com / colist_195062.html (p. 79)

Story revolving around the Kamata Household: • 1st Couple / Main Couple - Third Brother Tooru / Uni Student (21) x Uncle Kaname / Uni Archaeology Professor (31) // Forbidden Love // Older Uke // Established Relationship; • 2nd Couple / Side Couple - Second Brother Suguru (22) x Tooru's friend Ryo (21) // Uni Students // Older Uke // Established Relationship > I liked it, the base was good and it was interesting! It was probably meant to be extended some more, maybe also showing more of the second couple, which for now seemed more like a side couple, but unfortunately it was discontinued! So, regarding the main couple, the situation remained unresolved, with the two being apart due to Kaname's work in China! Well, I think in the end they'd have found their way back to each other and been happy together, but it's still sad that this story will remain without an ending! 3 Volumes (Discontinued)

// Complete // - 15 Volumes (Complete). Such a funny reading! And it also had its share of touching dramatic moments. All in all, a great family story! It was so entertaining and heart-warming. The romance component was great as well, although it wasn't the focus. And I also really like the art style. Anyway, it's truly such a pleasant reading! Just a little time to get things started and warming up that it really grows on you, especially because the characters were so amusing and lovely. Hotman in its simplicity and genuineness is really a masterpiece! (Btw, it's such a pity that there isn't an anime adaptation for this! I really wish there was!) > At least here the pages aren't cut at the bottom: mangakakalot.so / comic / hotman Adapted to Live-action: • Hotman (2003) • Hotman '04 Spring Special (2004) • Hotman 2 (2004) Side Story: Hotman 2003 (not scanlated) Spin-off: Chinatsu no Uta - Enzo appears in a few scenes as a teacher at the elementary school the protagonists of the story, Chinatsu and Fuyuki, go to. Towards the end, Nanami appears as well, saying to Chinatsu she had transferred to that school before her to recuperate better in a place with clean air. So the story is set a few years after the events of Hotman. At some point, maybe when Nanami's condition got better, Enzo and Nanami probably transferred back to their homeplace, where we see them in fact at the very end of Hotman, after the 10 years time skip.
