RoseMary's manga / #Live-action(283)

«✿()✿» THE SHOUJO MANGA! The one and only! For those like me who are fond of classic manga, especially classic shoujo, this is the first one I recommend, an essential must-read, a timeless masterpiece! So much love for this story! Too bad that vol. 50 has been postponed indefinitely! ╥﹏╥ > I really hope sensei would give us the ending already! Apart from the final decision for the Crimson Goddess, I really want to see Masumi finally facing Maya as the Purple Rose, and to see them both finally conveying their true feelings for each other. They are one of my top fav couples, so I really need to see them together! Although especially in vol. 48-49 things don't seem to work out at all with Shiori's madness and Masumi who, even if after the episode of the cruise ship with Maya he decided to cancel the wedding, in the end found himself having to accept to marry Shiori. But then, in the preview of vol. 50, Masumi finally makes it clear to Old Takamiya that he intends to break the engagement off with Shiori and and Takamiya at last says that he'll agree if Masumi manages to make Shiori recover her mental health! So, I really hope there will be a happy ending! Also, I like the developments in vol. 49 of Ayumi and Hamil, the photographer who followed her since the Crimson Goddess training began, so I'm curious to know about that as well. 49 Volumes (Hiatus️) - Last available here: Vol.39 Ch.6 // Raw: 77mh.cc / colist_140581.html > For vol. 40-49, I've seen the raws and read the summaries and I really hope someone would translate them... > Note: in "vol.17 ch.3" after p.26, an important page is missing! - See raw: 77mh.cc / 200911 / 140630.html#@page=54 And at the end of "vol.21 ch.1" / beginning of "vol.21 ch.2" some pages are missing and they were put at the end of vol. 21 ch.2 >>> Volumes' summaries: dreamsaddict.com / garasunokamen / synopses.php >>> 18-page preview of volume 50 published on Hana to Yume, 26th May 2016: dreamsaddict.com / garasunokamen / synopses-hty8.php 3 anime adaptations + JDrama > The last anime adaptation is the longest one and it covers the story till vol. 41.

The master nakao and his three lovers part was hilarious lol. I watched the anime years ago but I never brought myself to read the manga...I'm glad I did read it then, because it was really funny and cute. So, I totally recommend it ^^

Mixed feelings about this story... I liked it for two reasons. Firstly, because it's an old manga, so I liked the whole old atmosphere, and, secondly, because it's a family affair story. And that's why I added this to my old-style romance and family affair lists. But I'll say that it was also a frustrating story for two other reasons. Well, first of all, as an avid BL reader, if I see a guy kissing another guy (and more than once at that!), I tend to automatically ship them, so the whole situation of Aoi and Sumire all along the story was frustrating for me, BUT, and from this I'll come then to the second reason, I actually found mysef liking Aoi and Yuri together so much, also because I didn't like Sumire much in the first place, so I was rooting for Aoi and Yuri instead! [Spoiler] But sadly they didn't end up together. I mean, no surprise there really, because they went for the obvious predictable course. It was obvious she would end up with Sumire...but I really liked Aoi and Yuri's interaction and moments all along the story, so I strongly hoped that they would end up together somehow! I don't care if they are half-siblings since it's a manga. I really think it would have been a more interesting outcome, if they ended up together. So, I can't really hide my disappointment about this. Anyway, having said all that, overall it's a good oldie, although I'm clearly not a fan of the couple... Adapted to Taiwanese Drama "The Rose" (2003)

- Award-Winning Work by Yoshinaga Fumi - «» In the feudal Japan of an alternate history, the outbreak of a strange epidemic affecting only males caused a massive reduction of the population, leaving females to fill the vacant jobs, and thus causing a radical change of society's structure. Now, after 80 years, with a 1:4 male:female ratio, Japan's society is characterized by female dominance: with reversed gender roles, females hold all important political positions, while males are their consorts. Only the most powerful female, Tokugawa shogunate's head, can keep a harem of handsome and unproductive males, known as "Oooku".
