RoseMary's manga / #Seinen(44)

«✾✾» [Source: Lila Wolves] Alternative reality of Manchukuo filled with military disputes and dangerous mystical beings, where humans and monsters fight each other. In the year 1932 a little boy survives a horrible train crash. Seven years later in Harbin city, he meets a beautiful and mysterious gypsy girl from an ancient Clan of Shinnou. This destined meeting is only the beginning of a larger story that like a spider's web gets everyone caught in the chaos of the upcoming war. >> Unique and interesting story! Too bad only the first volume is available...from what I read it seemed impressive to me! A fascinating reading. Really hope to read the whole story! 8 Volumes (Complete)

It really has the potential to have some great BL undertones! Hope the author included some - 13 Volumes (Complete) Side Story: Papa to Oyaji no Uchi Nomi (not scanlated)

3 Volumes (Complete) Sequel: Hoshi o Ou Kodomo - Agartha no Shounen (not scanlated) Anime movie

I admit that I'd love if this was BL, but it's interesting to see a non-BL work by Yoneda Kou anyway! Well, the story is well-written and sensei's art style makes it look so cool! Above all, I love the characters...I'm really enjoying Yoake and Kuro's interactions: regardless of the nature of their relationship, I'm sure there will be a special bond between them! I'm definitely looking forward to read more! For now, it already seems impressive...definitely a work with high potential!

Ahh that was beautiful! Truly beautiful and heartfelt! But the ending honestly left me a bit unsatisfied, hanging...because I wanted to see a bit more of them after that. Especially going back, then, at the beginning! Like, in the very first page, we saw a bit-older Fuyuki going back to the hometown after 10 years, so what did he do in those years when he moved to the city and what will he do after returning back home? What happened to Chinatsu...did she follow the music path like Fuyuki thought she would or what? Did something happen to her maybe? And other things like that...Somehow it felt like some things were left hanging...Man, I want to know! Why did Kitagawa-sensei rushly ended it like that? Personally, I'd even have gladly welcomed if there was a sequel with a-bit-older Fuyuki and Chinatsu. It was too soon to say goodbye to these characters...I'd have loved to accompany them a bit more... Anyway, it's a bit of a pity. It was so nice and all while reading, also with such beautiful scenery, but the ending left a sense of incompleteness behind. It was still really good, but in the end I couldn't give it 5 stars. Enzo from "Hotman" appears in a few scenes here as a teacher at the elementary school the protagonists of the story, Chinatsu and Fuyuki, go to. Towards the end, Nanami appears as well, saying to Chinatsu she had transferred to the school here before her to recuperate better in a place with clean air. So the story is set a few years after the events of Hotman. At some point, maybe when Nanami's condition gets better, Enzo and Nanami will probably transfer back to their homeplace, where we see them in fact at the very end of Hotman, after the 10 years time skip.

Adapted from the original anime movie Sakasama no Patema / Patema Inverted. > In the title, it says "another side" and in fact this is conceived as a side story to the movie. Personally, I totally prefer the movie anyway, also because I don't like this art style much, but I'm curious to read this as well! But it's dropped in any case...
