Posted in H-, Modern/Contemporary, tagged hijiri-chiaki, manga, shojo on October 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
AUTHOR: HIJIRI, Chiaki (Chiaki Hijiri)
WHY GOOD:
It’s not a coincidence that this title is the same as Gene Kelly’s famous musical. One of the numbers in the movie, “I Like Myself”, is used as a symbol of this love story. Here, a girl with the lonely heart struggles to find the key to open the tight [...]

TITLE: Onnanoko wa Yoyu (Girls Need To Be Self-Composed) and its seaquels
AUTHOR: Hikawa, Kyoko

TITLE: Iguana no Musume (Daughter of Iguana; The Iguana Daughter)
AUTHOR: Hagio, Moto
WHY GOOD: The idea and the expression of the story is outstanding. You see Rika, the main character, as an iguana in girl’s dress throughout the story, because her mother recognizes her as nothing but an iguana, and in result, she herself does so, [...]
Toma no Shinzo (The Heart of Thoma)

TITLE: Toma no Shinzo (The Heart of Thoma)
AUTHOR: Hagio, Moto
WHY GOOD: Girls’ comics are derivatives of a boy meets a girl stories in most cases. This story is different. It talks not about romantic love but about love to forgive. I don’t know whether the author Hagio is a christian or not, but it seems [...]
