RoseMary's manga / #Guardian x Ward(7)

Slice of Life // Childcare // Single Parent // Family // Cohabitation // Guardian Relationship // Age Gap // Smart & Strong Female Lead // Time Skip ו•× 79 y.o. grandpa had an illegitimate child!? - Daikichi (30): "So mom...that makes her your little sister then! Which makes her my aunt..." haha what a bizarre family circumstance! ➸ Heartwarming slice of life story about a man who decided to raise a little girl on his own. The core of the story is exactly about the hardships a single parent has to go through, raising a kid. The story highlights also other realistic issues about particular family circumstances, such as divorce, adoption, abandonment of a child, reencounter with birth mother etc. In particular, ch 1-24 (adapted into anime and live-action) are about Daikichi raising Rin, putting his life into it and making sacrifices for the little girl. Then after a 10 years time skip, the story takes a certain direction, which not everyone may welcome. Personally, I loved this story, because it's so sweet, especially at the beginning: little Rin was simply too cute! I liked it till the end. I was curious to see the development of their relationship. But at the same time, I'm not completely satisfied with the ending, as I wanted to see more about how their future will be. [Spoiler] It's not incest: Daikichi's gandpa adopted Rin, but he wasn't her father, so Rin and Daikichi aren't related by blood. Well, it may still be unconfortable if you think about the fact that Daikichi, after raising Rin as a daugther for 10 years, becomes the young girl's love interest...and also their huge age gap, but imo the story was pure and sweet till the very end (and actually there isn't even a little kiss)! Also, Daikichi was conflicted about it and said that he never thought about Rin in that way, so I don't think of him as a perv who raised a little girl just to think of her in a sexual way later! He isn't that kind of man! Of course, this is my opinion, but I think that if one takes it for what it is, a fictional story, overall it's good and nice to read.

BL precious gem - beautiful story. Tooru and Katsuya touched my heart I understand Kuroda had his problems too ("had an unfortunate life ever since he was born" as we can see in the first extra, which was very sad), but this doesn't mean he can drive drunk, hitting a person and running away! Ruining people's lives and causing troubles even after 12 years! Even if he's ill, this is not justifiable! Anyways, I just want to focus on the pure love of Tooru and Katsuya. Tooru found himself in a really bad situation and probably the incident would have haunt him forever (especially the scene of little Katsuya crying for his mother...I was sad too seing that and Tooru that could only watch but couldn't do anything). Still, thank God he was there...if not, Katsuya would have been alone. After what happened they needed each other. So, even if it was the worst meeting, I'm glad they found each other: fate was cruel, but they were fated to be together! ( T ^ T )♡ Tooru didn't say anything about his feelings for Katsuya, but he loves him and I think one day he will say it to him! Anyways, Katsuya realized it, so I'm satisfied.

Well, I kinda liked it almost only for the art: Sadahiro Mika is one if my top favourite BL mangaka and I love her art style. So, I liked it here as well. Although I have to say that the art didn't feel that special here, it lost its charm because of the story itself unfortunately! In fact, this harlequin's plot is not that good. I didn't like the characters much. I understand that the male lead, J.B., had his own situation, being afraid to love again and lose someone he loved again and so on, but he treated the female lead, Terry, so badly. When in the end he said he loved her from the bottom of his heart, I thought that it sure didn't feel that way. He was hot, but that's it. And Terry was a plain and weak character, so blinded by love that she so easily forgave all the hurtful things J.B. did and said. Anyway, this harlequin is nothing special, it's just ok. The extra star is for the art, which was almost the only good thing here, like I said.

❖❖ "The magical tale of Hinata and the Yatagarasu, Midori": I'm not so much into supernatural stuff, but this was a precious gem for me. A beautiful guardian relationship! I think chapter 6 is the most beautiful, because it gives a deeper meaning to the story and makes it even more precious. I thought "this is really a great manga!". One of my favourites, without a doubt! ≫ Dangerous Midori: "Your first kiss? I already stole that a really long time ago" - Oh my~♡ ≫ Cute Hinata: "If you're not going to make me your wife, I'll keep crying like this until I'm dried up and dead" I loved this story and this couple, super adorable. And Midori somehow reminds me of Sebastian, so I found him irresistible~♡
