[...] I hear the term “harem manga”, I think of one of those series where a goofy guy has his pick of zaftig girls. I’d never seen the opposite — [...]

Yeah, this could have been a really interesting story without all the sexist art. Just like All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder or Birds of Prey. (hee hee)

Johanna, I haven’t read the books but I did see the anime of this series. When the story focuses on the relationship between Karou and Aoi it is sweet without being saccharine or sappy. It is very touching to watch as Karou comes to fall in love with Aoi. They have a lot hurdles with both families to overcome. I wanted to cut out all the nonsense and just stick to the real heart of the series. I think all the extra gets added because the audience was originally young boys/men and such an emotionally honest and intense look at love and the traditional problems found in Japanese families would have been hard for most to handle. I wish author would have considered writing for an older audience.
