A manga about a friendship between a high school girl and a seventy-year-old woman over their appreciation of Boys Love manga.
We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a wholesome and appropriate relationship between an adult and teenager in a manga. Since so many of these end in an inappropriate romantic relationship I loved seeing Kaori Tsurutani setup a genuine friendship between Urara and Ichinoi. And while Urara’s section of the narrative is a common story about a teen ashamed of her interests, it’s really unique to read about a fully realized senior citizen.
I highly recommend this. Available in English from Seven Seas Entertainment.
