Casandra30's manga / #Strong Female Lead(2)

Diamond Life

Complete | Fujiwara Akira | 2007 released

This manga really has to be my favorite straight romance manga. It deals with a lot of heavy issues such as HIV and Poverty but manages to write a seriously awe inspiring story around these themes and still at times comes off lighthearted. I don't think there is a single person I would not suggest to read this Manga. I tend to be someone who always has at least some small issue with a manga even if it is one that I love. I tend to be especially hard on women leads simply because I have room to talk as a woman myself. However, this manga is one of the few exceptions to the rule. I have nothing bad to say about the manga or it's characters... The father of the main woman was a piece of work but that in it of itself was a great side part of the story and I wouldn't wish it changed either. All in all this manga is a must read. I have read it many times and will read it in the future again as well.

It was good. I really like the quote "Coffee should be black as night, hot as hell, and sweet as falling in love." (I think that's how it was said anyway I don't like cream in mine either so it's a good quote for me.) anyway. The story itself was really good in some parts and decent in others. I would re-read it. I like most harlequins and this one is not a exception to that rule. I'd say If you like josei romance then it's worth the few short chapters to read it definitely.
