    MANGA: Shiro no Koro

    January 28, 2020 / No Comments
    Image result for 白のころ

    Shiro no Koro – Mita Ori

    Title story talks about Fuji who moved to countryside for a little while. Daichi met him there. It was their youth, the time when both were still white. One with innocent love and kisses, another not aware how first love feels like. The distance between city and countryside seems to be the same as is the distance between the two of them. Will they be able to overcome the hardship?

    A collection of stories that are subtle but heartfelt.

    Shiro no Koro: The title story about young love and separation that is told in flashbacks. I rejoiced when it flashed back to the present.

    Spring is a Half-Step Ahead: Sadass salaryman dealing with a bitter breakup and the very cheerful president’s nephew who wouldn’t leave him alone. I don’t know how this two would eventually manage but I hope they will.

    Ophelia: A beautiful painting drew a sempai and a kohai together. Such a sweet ending!

    Christmas Blues: A case of enjo kosai that blossomed into something real and fluffy. I want more chapters!

    The Magic Medicine: Thoughts of a mother’s cure for homosexuality pop up amidst the loving and happy relationship between two men. I’m glad they stayed in love and happy.

    Yamada to Shounen – Mita Ori

    On his way back from work on Christmas Eve, Yamada (26) discovers a drunk and crying high school boy and takes him home. That boy was mulling over being in love with someone of the same sex.

    A straight adult and a gay high schooler.

    It is a piece that sets gender aside as their hearts grow ever closer. This is Mita Ori’s long-awaited series. 

    Yamada looks like shit, is only 26 but act likes an old man. The boy is sweet and is good at cooking. The story was underwhelming but is thankfully kept short.
