RoseMary's manga / #Tragic Past(59)

07 Ghost

Complete | amemiya yuki | 2000 released

While I was reading this, my inner fujoshi self whispered all the time Frau x Teito, and it would have been really a dream, but apart from my obsession, this is a genial work, a masterpiece indeed. A gothic fantasy with an amazing plot, cool characters and it was a journey full of emotions: there is so much wisdom in this manga and it really touched me. And it's also one of the best stories with bromance: I love the beautiful deep bond between Teito and Frau, their meeting is fated and everything happens for a reason. Even if some things may be predictable, 07-Ghost is unique!

Nabari no Ou

Complete | kamatani yuhki,Kamatani Yuuki | 2004 released

୨ Good plot, cool characters, but so heartbreaking. Sometimes, stories with tragedy are masterpieces cause they are tragic but beautiful at the same time: that's the case of Nabari no Ou. An unforgettable story that will remain in your heart forever. One of the best stories with bromance: I loved Yoite and Miharu, so many emotions. I liked also the anime~

The One Manhua

Complete | lee nicky | 2006 released

She will definitely be able to become "The One"! Yeah, Cane Lele has all the requirements to become a top model. Reluctant towards showbiz, she begins to see modeling in a different light after she saw a photo shoot of popular model Angus Lanson. Lele is now determined to become the number one and maybe find love, so she starts her adventure, but it's not so easy; she's a beautiful and strong-willed woman, but many difficulties await for her...It's not a simple showbiz story, but a complicated love story with psychological and mature issues too. Along the story we get to know also other interesting characters that contribute well to the development of the plot and are part of it (btw I couldn't not notice the resemblance of Angi to Andreja Pejic, so I was really intersted in this character). In conclusion, it would be amazing if this manhua was to be adapted into an anime or live-action!!

It's such a great story, definitely Motomi Kyousuke's best one!

Bokura ga Ita

Complete | OBATA Yuuki | 2002 released

ʚɞ Bokura ga Ita - We were there ʚɞ Tragic past and regret are the things that play a big role in this emotional story. The love story of a boy and a girl, from their teenage years till their early twenties. Through sad and happy moments, they experience many things and they mature also because of tragic and life-changing events. Reading this, I even cried at some points, cause there were so many emotions. In particular towards the end, all the missed timing made me think "what bad luck! will they be together?", but in the end, no matter how many years pass, I think certain love are simply meant to be. Bokura ga Ita is an award-winning work and, in fact, it didn't disappoint me. Aside the fact that I couldn't stand anymore Yamamoto Yuri, it's really a great story...definitely one of the best famous shoujo!

End Game

Complete | yamanaka hiko | 2000 released

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.

Gerard to Jacques

Complete | Yoshinaga Fumi | 2000 released

≪•..•≫ MASTERPIECE by Yoshinaga Fumi - Historical background, 18th century The proud aristocrat Jacques is sold to a high-class brothel because of his late father's debt. His first client is the novelist Gerard, a man who hates nobility because of his past. After sleeping with Jacques, he buys the young boy's freedom. Their paths will cross again when Jacques is hired to work at Gerard's house... > Outstanding setting with accurate background, pre and post French Revolution, interesting characters and funny plot twist at the end. During the story we get to see more about Gerard's past and about Jacques's family. I really liked the pace of the story, the interaction between Gerard and Jacques, how their relationship developed and how they changed thanks to one another. A beautiful story about acceptance and true love. For those who love historical genre, this is a MUST READ!

Good morning, bad day

KareKano

Complete | masami tsuda,TSUDA Masami | 1996 released

20th Century // School Life // Slice of Life // Romance // Change in art style // Character Growth // Rivals Become Lovers // False Personality // Family Drama // Hidden tragic past // Multiple couples // Pregnancy // Time Skip ((*..*)) TBH, I found the beginning very boring. I had a hard time reading it, but later it gets a lot better with the progressing of the story and when new characters are introduced. I loved step-siblings Tsubasa and Kazuma, so adorable!! That's why I began to enjoy the reading around ch 50 (ch 48-57, approximately), when there is the development of their relationship! From ch 59, the story goes back to the main couple and finally it becomes more interesting and mature; it goes much more in depth, dealing with more serious issues and all the family drama. Maybe it's not a story I'd re-read, but overall it's good! Adapted to Anime - I think the beginning is funnier to watch in the anime, rather than in the manga, where it seemed boring to me, as I said...
