RoseMary's manga / #Music(130)

[From MangaHelpers] Kazura has her first high school boyfriend, a cute guy named Iwasaki who likes her very much. When he takes her to see her favorite band perform live, she meets the band's cool, attractive vocalist. The next day at school, she discovers a secret: the sexy vocalist is none other than her teacher, who seems totally uncool in his daytime appearance! What will she do about her boyfriend, her teacher's secret, and her growing attraction to him? [tethysdust] >> I wanted to see something more...I don't know, an omake maybe...Anyway, I liked it! Well, it made me feel kinda sorry for the student guy she was dating, but there are things towards which I'm biased, such as teacher x student, age gap, music band...so I couldn't help liking it!

The mother is so cool! I really like her!

(()) Collection of stories: • Ch. 1 & 4.5 Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light (Hotaru no Mori E) (Summer story) - Beautiful sad story! Especially, the anime movie has great visuals and soundtrack! My only complaint is that somehow [SPOILER] Gin's death seemed so random and sudden (just because a random human boy was tripping and he grabbed him!) that I didn't have the time to properly feel the moment and actually cry...at the most it left me with a bittersweet, melancholic feeling! Having said that, it still remains a beautiful story with tragic ending! 5 Anime movie: available at kissanime • Ch. 2 Overhearing a Flower Song (Spring story) - School Life // Music 3 • Ch. 3 The Fallling of Autumn Leaves (Autumn story) - School Life // Childhood Friends 3 • Ch. 4 Deepening the Scar (Winter story) - School Life // Reunion // Siblings // Incest // Brother x Sister // Bittersweet 3 Note: Apart from the "Hotarubi no Mori e - Special Chapter" (Ch. 4.5), the reprint contains also two other additional new stories called "Taion no Kakera" and "Hoshi mo Mienai", which are not scanlated, it seems...

10 Volumes (Complete) - Dropped... Spin-off: Kare First Love

Adapted to Anime (Note: S2 ends at vol. 14 ch. 54 with minor scene from ch. 55)

4 Volumes (Complete) - Dropped I guess... Based on the anime movie, which was adapted to live-action movie as well (anime available at Kissanime and live-action at Kissasian) When I watched the anime movie, I admit that at first I really expected and hoped for an other ending and I'm sure I'd have loved it! But you know it's not like I was utterly disappointed, because I think it was not that bad as ending after all...in a way it was more refreshing that it ended that way rather than the expected/predictable one. And things don't always go the way one hopes for, right? And anyway it was a story of friendship and personal growth (of each character actually, not only of Jun), so I really liked it and I think it's a great story regardless. Personally, I liked the live-action movie as well.
