RoseMary's manga / #70s/80s(157)

«✿()✿» THE SHOUJO MANGA! The one and only! For those like me who are fond of classic manga, especially classic shoujo, this is the first one I recommend, an essential must-read, a timeless masterpiece! So much love for this story! Too bad that vol. 50 has been postponed indefinitely! ╥﹏╥ > I really hope sensei would give us the ending already! Apart from the final decision for the Crimson Goddess, I really want to see Masumi finally facing Maya as the Purple Rose, and to see them both finally conveying their true feelings for each other. They are one of my top fav couples, so I really need to see them together! Although especially in vol. 48-49 things don't seem to work out at all with Shiori's madness and Masumi who, even if after the episode of the cruise ship with Maya he decided to cancel the wedding, in the end found himself having to accept to marry Shiori. But then, in the preview of vol. 50, Masumi finally makes it clear to Old Takamiya that he intends to break the engagement off with Shiori and and Takamiya at last says that he'll agree if Masumi manages to make Shiori recover her mental health! So, I really hope there will be a happy ending! Also, I like the developments in vol. 49 of Ayumi and Hamil, the photographer who followed her since the Crimson Goddess training began, so I'm curious to know about that as well. 49 Volumes (Hiatus️) - Last available here: Vol.39 Ch.6 // Raw: 77mh.cc / colist_140581.html > For vol. 40-49, I've seen the raws and read the summaries and I really hope someone would translate them... > Note: in "vol.17 ch.3" after p.26, an important page is missing! - See raw: 77mh.cc / 200911 / 140630.html#@page=54 And at the end of "vol.21 ch.1" / beginning of "vol.21 ch.2" some pages are missing and they were put at the end of vol. 21 ch.2 >>> Volumes' summaries: dreamsaddict.com / garasunokamen / synopses.php >>> 18-page preview of volume 50 published on Hana to Yume, 26th May 2016: dreamsaddict.com / garasunokamen / synopses-hty8.php 3 anime adaptations + JDrama > The last anime adaptation is the longest one and it covers the story till vol. 41.

Collection of two school life romances: •.¸¸☆* Ch. 1-2 Hoshi no Harmony - Yukiko, a naive kind-hearted girl, always ends up doing what others tell her to do. Wada, one of her classmates, can't stand how she's always taken advantage of... •.¸¸☆* Ch. 3-6 Sugikake-kun and Mayuko's Series - Mayuko had an unrequited love for her cousin, who rejected her and now he's even getting married, so she doesn't want to fall in love ever again, but there's a senpai in the volley club, Sugikake, who starts picking on her... ➻ Wow, the killer slap! haha so funny! I wonder how many times Sugikake will get slapped by Mayuko in the future xD I like them together and it'd be nice if they could really work together at school as teacher and infirmary doctor. I definitely liked this story more than the first...it's so cute and funny ｡^‿^｡ There's a oneshot sequel to Hoshi no Harmony, called My Milky Way Railroad, which should be included in Miriam, but I didn't find it...

3 Volumes (Complete) Classic Manga, Bishounen, Cool Guy, Clumsy Girl, Mismatched Couple, Old-style Art, Opposites Attract, Short Girl, Strong Guy, Fast Romance Chizumi is a short and really clumsy girl; Fujiomi is a hot and tall guy. Obviously, it's a mismatched couple, but they are so cute together! The plot is not outstanding, but I think they make up for it: I really liked how the cool Fujiomi was actually the caring type, always paying attention to and taking care of Chizumi. That's the right guy for her. They are simply adorable!

I love classic manga and I really like Hikari no Densetsu, Izumi Asou's masterpiece! In this story, sports, specifically rhythmic gymnastics, plays an important, big role, but the actual theme of the story is "to realize one's dreams" and I like that! In fact, together with the competitions and the progress the protagonists make, there are also their ambitions, dreams and growth, as well as their anxieties due to obstacles and hardships they go through...and that is interesting. Love is also a theme and the romantic component is very interesting as well: well-balanced, sports and love alternate in the life of the young main lead, the cheerful Hikari, who dreams of becoming a national rhythmic gymnastics champion. I really like her! Just like her name suggests, she shines indeed! She's so charming! I admire characters who have such strong passion for something, put their heart into it, work hard to achieve goals and fly towards their dreams...I find stories like this truly inspiring! It's such a pity that only ch. 1 is available online... Anime
