MarsV's manga / #FAVORITE(3)

Intriguing stories that range from light-hearted easy to follow to some forward to t disheartening ones. The first story had the an amazing potential to be the only story where the ending was bittersweet, but it seems that it was not complete or explored in detailed like the later stories. A junkie and his supplier.. A sad tale of a person who was running away from reality by using drugs. Another one shot story explore student president and Ginger, however there is some tender moments, but nothing to say that those 2 are in love. The third one shot is the relationship between a spoiled student who is love with one of the teachers who happens to be a priest. He managed to lay his hand on him and we see a tug of war between those 2. They one was totally unoriginal, but we need cliche sometimes. In my opinion, this was a filler story and the worst out of all the rest. Then we have the student Raphael and the newly appointed philosophy teacher [ Previously a student] Nuki. This was typical of the chase between a mouse and cat. Not original as well! The 2 strongest stories are relationship between Itta X Lancolett and Shassha XMchigamiru . not because of their strength but because as stories that were explored in details and took a reasonable time to pick up the pace! The first pair: Itta X Lanocellt is about a Master and his Servant. We see a master who enjoy teasing/bullying his servant and we how these teasing and light chuckles turns to love.. I have an issue oh the relationship because it looks that servant is 7 years old and the Master in his late teens ~ 17/18 years. That is a bit creepy esp when the master has this aura about him being a respected person who doesn't lay his hands on anybody and is responsible but in reality he doesn't want anybody to know that he has another side of him that is tender to his pet or lover Itta. The last story : Sasha X Magiumi is my favorite because of the drama and the psychological aspect behind each character motive. They were always on edge when they see each other. Shash always initiate the tirade against Magiumu because Magimus'father lured some of the people/ talents who used to work in Sasha's father company. For 6 years, Magiumi endured abuse from and as a result became isolated, until the moment where hell broke loose. The moment of revenge !! It is striking to see how a gentle person could snap out of it and a commit a crime or an act of violence tat is untypical of. Don't get me wrong, Domestic abuse is not acceptable and is not the fault of the kids nor the victim. However, we need to consider the psychological state of the the abuser, why did he do that ? Could stress and long-term emotional abuse would accumulate and then suddenly, your emotions will blow up and not only you will lose your temper and lose sight, but you might hurt a special person just because you can not control your temper. It is nice to see a satisfying ending for both of them, but if it was me, I might not forget those marks on my back so easily. No matter what, these are marks that will be stamped on my body for the rest of my life. It is difficult to forget and forgive, but I'm a Human and Shasha is not !!

A young boy with extinguished family name has been sold by his grandmother to a High-end Brothel. He enters a new house, swaps his shorts to a Kimono and left all alone. He meets the cheerful Kichou who turns to be his companion and friend. They made a promise that one day, they will leave the gates of that brothel holding hands. What is fascinating is that Mangaka took us through their journey with its pitiful events and those rare moments of happiness with great care. We went from the past to the present, then scattering moments of flashbacks of their imprisoned childhood smoothly. Some might feel that it is too long and some chapters should be condensed into one which I disagree. The beauty of this manga is that it is not rushed and, as a result, you are going to relate to the characters, feel their sadness and sorrows in their inability to do more than expressing their feelings and their unfortunate reality as being tools. They provide love fo those who pay for it, but they unable to do the same with each other. This is not a tragedy because One day the sun will rise but what is the tragedy is their upbringing and being denied the gift of Love!
