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

(()) "People of the World" Theatrical Company's Actor Susami x High-school Student Hashiba (17), who then joins the company to substitute an injured actress in a play. > Involving also the company's chairman Oginome and his former lover Tomomi, who was also an actor in the company before, but then went over to another company called "Black", managed by Oginome's senpai Kuroda, who is the antagonist of the story and tries to sabotage "People of the World". In the end, thankfully Oginome and Tomomi come together again and it's a happy ending for them too! The very ending, although rushed, was fun and cute! Especially Susami's adlib in the play haha I loved Hashiba and Susami together!

[[Brother x Brother]] «✿✿» Astrological Twins - Both older brother and younger brother were born on the same day and at the same hour. After their reunion after 15 years due to their divorced parents' reconciliation, they somehow realize they have a very special bond! In fact, Miharu finally understands the reason for an idiosyncrasy he had since young that consisted in having at times unexpected phantom pains: it's because he feels Natsu's pain! On the other hand, it turns out that the sensation Natsu can feel from his big brother is his pleasure!! Hehe I love that when they do it, Natsu feels also Miharu's share of pleasure together with his own, and at the same time Miharu also feels if the uke is in pain! Somehow, it's really...perfect synchronization! xD

Elementary-school Music Teacher x Middle Schooler / High Schooler (Ex-student from elementary school asks the teacher to give him lessons to prepare for entrance exams to a musical high school) // Age Progression // Time Skip - At some point in the story, the youth goes to Italy to study music. Reunion will come after 10 years. > Regarding the music theme, I think this is one of the best BL about classical music! As expected, sensei's stories are always pretty accurate about the presented theme / setting. I appreciate that. So in that aspect, I think it was well-written and great. it's not a favourite of mine in terms of the characters' relationship (and I'm not into crybaby seme), but overall I really liked this story!

High-school student Sato (17 turning 18) x Salaryman Hiroki (23) ≪✿✿≫ I really liked that, as the story went on, more of Hiroki's thoughts were revealed and we saw how he changed thanks to the love received by Sato. I especially liked the last chapter, where more details of their first encounters were revealed: I really appreciated that, because at the beginning I actually thought that the author skipped some parts that I wanted to see. But, after reading the whole story, I think that I liked it more this way! And I loved that parallelism of the train scene: we clearly saw how things changed and how they had grown from that third encounter (which was when their relationship truly began). Well, in the very end, I admit that I wanted something more, but overall I think that it's a really good story! > Note: The oneshot called Take A Deep Breath, included in vol. 2, is not scanlated.

[About the ending] I think Matsui was shot and ended up in a coma, so that's why the other guy said to Tsukamoto "only you can bring him back, so don't give up". And in fact at the last page he calls his name. At least this is how I understood. OVA: gogoanime.page / watch / fish-in-the-trap.m6x7 / ep-1

Kodomo No Omocha....so many memories!! Everyday when I came back from school I'd watch the anime and Akito Hayama was indeed a part of my childhood: I think he was like the dream of every little girl...you can't deny it xD But it's not really just a manga for children, cause there are also mature themes, even if in the anime were kind of softened or a little changed. The characters face many hardships, they go through happy and sad times and you can feel their emotions as they grow up. There are lots of funny moments that made me laugh, but also serious and more mature ones: a good mix that makes this story, with children as protagonists, a manga for everyone. I might be biased but this story is so good, it never gets old, definitely a masterpiece. ➤ Sequel: Deep Clear (Honey Bitter meets Kodomo no Omocha) - the famous actress Kurata Sana is going to play in a new film as a detective. She wants to be able to impersonate her character as best as possible so she asks Shuri if she can stick around to learn a few things. Shuri also recieves a more intimate request from Sana's manager, Sagami Rei... ➤ Side Story: Mizu no Yakata (Mansion of Water) - This is the one shot of the movie that Sana and Naozumi starred in from Kodomo no Omocha.

Middle School // Drama Club // Track and Field // Injury // Love Triangle // Jealousy // Stepmother // Tomboy I liked how they met and that at the end they went to the place of their first encounter. It's a cute romance with gender bender. It's shoujo ai, but it actually feels like an old-school shoujo, so I think it's okay to read for anyone, but I'd say especially for GL beginners. The main point of the story is that what matters is the substance and not the shell and also finding one's way in life... It's quite cheesy, but overall it's nice to read. Personally, I like this type of couple! The only thing that seems kinda weak is the final resolution of conflict.
