Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, Vol. 1

Product Information

The author was definitely going for the "historical drama, long-hair guy" look in the modern age, and I can appreciate that! Both are cute shojo that take a conventional storyline and twist them, yielding incredibly fun reads. I understand that other genres appeal to a different demographic so it may be different in that case, but speaking with Shoujo manga in mind, its target demographic is teenage girls.

I don't mind love triangles, but I think if it was added into the story, it would've made it instantly a lot less mature. None of the students have been interested in helping, and the only adult childcare worker spends more time sleeping than caring for the children. Though TcLP has nothing to do with childcare, the relationship between the main guy and main girl have a similar feel. Rui decided to live on her own after the death of the grandfather who raised her, and Chiharu decided to live with her.But, I kind of like my female characters a little bit more rounded, where they have other things they like/are good at. Both males act as support and can be seen as a bit soft at times, however in lonely planet, our lead male can come off as rude, and has a tougher time with romance than in Love so Life where the lead male mainly struggles due to the nature of the work like relationship. Both girls are trying to make their way through high school, while in Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, our protaginst is helping her father in debt. She became close with Akatsuki after realizing he resembles a character from one of her favorite historical otome games.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this storyline was a lot less contrived than Dengeki Daisy and it felt a bit more mature. The story, the characters and their hardships/struggles all are so so different from Kore wa Koi no Hanashi. Not wanting to recieve pity, Fumino refuses the offer and jokingly says, "Will you marry me and take care of me? Alone in the world, help arrives from the most unexpected source, Fumino's English teacher, Kazuma, who offers to take them in. Even when I'm a sucker for some mangas' beautiful art, I can't get behind its student x teacher pairing.Not believing that he means to commit to the idea, Fumino jokingly agrees to the idea but only if he will take her in as his wife and much to her surprise he agrees! Throughout the year Fumino and Kazuma- english teacher- become close and fall in love with each other.

However, one day, Kyoko accidentally discovers the horrible truth: the love of her life thinks of her as a 'plain and boring woman! Both "House of the Sun" and "Love So Life" revolve around a young female character who finds family in an unsuspected way. Into her troubled work life enters Hosaka, a cool and collected man who seems good with the children.

She is determined to somehow get onto the campus of Shoukei High School, one of those super super elite private high schools. Age gap, coming of age, navigating through childhood and loneliness are key features represented in both stories. These two series are ridiculously similar - high school girl lives with/generally spends a lot of time with an older (like 20 something) guy, and a kid/kids.

As in, they face similar struggles and feel the same emotions but deal differently with them, yet have the same purity. When Fumino Kaji’s parents died, she and her young brother, Teppei, were ferried from relative to relative. While she did indeed manage to find one as a housekeeper for THE Akatsuki Kibikino, it leaves much to be desired. Now the three live together with Fumino and Kazuma acting as man and wife in name only, but after falling for each other, the pair must try to act normally at school to ensure that no one discovers their secret. Their uncle has a very tiring job and can't control the two children, so he hires shihara to take care of them.Because of her father’s debts, she’s kicked out of her own home and has to rely on her own connections to survive. But he can be reasonable, and he eventually strikes up a deal with Mugi: he will get her onto the school grounds in exchange for some labor on her part. There's definitely some romance going on between the two main characters, but the age gap leads them to be far to cautious about it. Yen Press announced that they were licensing the series for English distribution, which began in 2022. Because of her father's debts, she's kicked out of her own home and has to rely on her own connections to survive.
