RoseMary's manga / #90s(370)

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.

Main Story: Kodomo no Omocha - This is the oneshot of the movie that Sana and Naozumi starred in.

6 Volumes (Complete) - Raw: 177mh.net / colist_178837.html > Man, this is totally my kind of story and it's by one of my top fav authors!! I really hope that someone will pick it up one day, because from the raws it seems so good! Really love this so much!!

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.

A Cruel God Rules in Heaven - MASTERPIECE, an Award-winning work by Hagio Moto, one of the pioneers of BL. In fact, this deep and mature story is a valuable icon of psychological BL for me. Tragic story of Jeremy, a young boy whose life will be completely destroyed after his mother's remarriage: he'll fall into a downhill spiral, without escape. Content: Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Rape, Drug Abuse / Addiction, Dark Ambience, Mind Break, Sadistic Pedophile, Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Murder, Prostitution - Maybe not everyone can take such a heavy story, it could be disturbing for someone, but I think it depicts, in an exemplary way, harsh aspects such as rape, child abuse, sexual abuse, which are serious issues that traumatize the victim and the wounds may never heal... In Jeremy's case, he was stripped of his human dignity, broken into pieces (both physically and mentally), driven to desperation! But I prefer a story like this, which portrays such aspects, cruel as they are, rather than manga where rape is treated lightly, veiled by romance as if nothing happened... Anyways, returning the the plot, Sandra was almost cruel as Greg, because she actually knew everything, but didn't do anything to help her son!! About the step-brother Ian, I actually liked him and I found interesting the development of his relationship with Jeremy. By discovering about the one who killed his father, he also finds out about the abuse Jeremy had to suffer...so he is torn on what to do: wheter to pursue the path of revenge or atone for his father's sins. Soon this dilemma becomes even more complicated when the lust for Jeremy begins to confuse him and the new question is: is this lust or love? Such a tormented story, but at the end of this thorny path, the one who truly helped Jeremy is Ian, so I want to see something good in this relationship between step-brothers!

Sequel: Marmalade Boy Little Anime and Live-action Drama & Movie

12 Volumes (Complete) - Raw: https://www.177mh.com/colist_166754.html Man, I knew that I would end up wishing that best friends Fukami and Eichi ended up together...I love those two guys! Oh well, I still like the story...It's funny how at first Suzuna and Eichi are love rivals and then become friends and ultimately also lovers...I like that progressive transition from friendship to love. After all, they're really cute together! > Reading this reminded me of "Marmalade Boy"...I love to read 90s manga because of their vibe! > Also including Student (Suzuna's friend) x Teacher as a side couple.

Twins // Sister Complex // Male Disguised as Female // Trap // Minsunderstanding // Multiple Couples // Rushed Ending/Axed This is one of those stories in which I wish the two male leads ended up together (Sasa and Noel)...it's the kind of plot that I'd really enjoy if it was BL! Oh well, as a Shoujo, it's still funny to read, exactly because of Noel's cross-dressing and its following circumstances xD, and, in the end of the day, the actual couples (Sasa x Maria; Noel x Miyu) are not bad...
