RoseMary's manga / #Seinen(50)

️ Painfully beautiful. So bittersweet! Poignant and melancholic, this story tells about feelings and states of mind that a lot of people have felt and experienced in their lives, so the emotions resonate giving a realistic feel and stick with you. At least, it was like that for me! Anyway, I really liked the manga as well, especially because it expands the story a bit more adding more details, but the anime movie surely has more impact for me, with its stunning visuals and beautiful music, especially the ending theme.

Even if it isn't a fav of mine, it was definitely a really good story, justly deserving a high rating - 4 stars for me! It was well-structured, developed in the right portions throughout these three volumes; it had some beautiful romantic scenes with a very nice atmosphere during their dates and the conclusion was satisfying, wrapping the story up nicely! Oh, and I really liked the old-style drawings, which gave a vintage vibe to the story! 4 manga adaptations came out in 2005: > mangago.me / read-manga / densha_otoko_ganbare_doku_otoko / > mangago.me / read-manga / densha_otoko / > mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=6344 (not scanlated) > mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=6875 (not scanlated) Live-action Drama & Movie

[Baka-Updates] Once upon a time, there was a tribe that fought for the empire. They were feared by everyone. Their specialty was destruction and slaughter. They were called "kimera." Rin was one of them. She lived in a peaceful village until the war broke out. And at that moment, something within her began to awaken, and something beyond imagination began! 16 Volumes (Complete) Sequel: Kimera - Final Chronicle

Based on Novel - novelupdates.com / series / oukoku-e-tsuzuku-michi / > Honestly, I'm a bit conflicted about this story, because...well, if it was just all about the useless smut and harem, I'd have already dropped it...BUT, first of all, I do love the setting very much: it's so beautiful and medieval-fantasy stories like this are a kind I really love to read, so I like it, afterall! And, in the end of the days, I really want to see how the protagonist's (perverted) journey will end...smut aside, there's some kind of plot and a lot of action anyway...so, I guess I'll have to stick around till the end!
