[Izumi Kawahara] I became interested in Angélique’s essay, so I would like you to suggest a good introductory book.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Laugh in the sky of Koshien.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The Laughing Archangel and Bremen 2

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If it’s a short story, then it’s the moonlit dress.

If it’s a long story, it’s a silver romantic… wahaha

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I like the short story “Truth is Falling in the Forest.”

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

That’s nice, isn’t it…?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

It’s not that long for a novel, and anything you read is likely to be good, so feel free to buy it.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

A person who draws surprisingly lewd pictures when taking it seriously.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a short story collection, Freud 1/2.

A story about a girl who works part-time at a game company, the president there, and Doctor Freud, who has become a ghost selling lanterns in Odawara.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

For now, buy the empty appetite demon from the paperback.

It’s just right because it’s a short story collection.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Let’s read Maple Chronicles.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I thought you were dead!

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

If you love history, it’s great to go miles to Babylon.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Katami-chan

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s impressive how detailed it is, researching various fields like this even though it’s a shoujo manga.

It was one of its selling points, but as it progressed, it became too intricate and difficult to read in some parts.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I also like the mysterious mariner.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The laughing archangel is still bawling over the story of the teddy bear.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who don’t know if it’s currently being serialized.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bremen 2 feels just like the right kind of sci-fi, doesn’t it?

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Hunger Demon of the Sky

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think only Izumi Kawahara could write a shoujo manga like a fictional forest, both now and in the future.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do Androids Dream of Misty Blue?

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I want to read more of “How Many Miles to Babylon…”

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

Wasn’t it finished with the bunko edition?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

The paperback edition includes up to the concluding episode of the Borgia family.

In the paperback, it cut off at a part that was concerning, didn’t it?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

Is it a paperback edition?

It would be helpful if it were available as an e-book.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

I found it while looking at Kindle.

Moreover, currently there is a 30% points cashback offer.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

It’s amazing that a book from several decades ago is still available; I’m really grateful.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love all the works included in “Beautiful Fruit.”

I like the nobility of the earth.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

China’s vase and Freud 1/2

In other words, everything from back then was a hit.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

The relationship with the Chinese vase is nice, isn’t it…

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Chinese pots are good.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite its comedic tone, it often depicts lonely endings.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I also like series that have ◯◯.

Is it still on hiatus?

From now on, I will become a samurai, but I have memories of being in the middle of it.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

The little people are making a fuss.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the fool’s paradise.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

Is it Mr. Anrakushiro from the Japan Farm?

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>42

Euthanasia of Japanese encephalitis!

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

The text looks too bad…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The scene where the medalist sees the dog and comes up with a technique reminded me of Silver’s romantic moments.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The phrase “Every night the moon grows fat” is vivid, even though I can’t remember the title of the boy’s work where he dances in a dress made of curtains.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>32

Wasn’t it exactly a dress for a moonlit night?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

It’s a dress under the moonlight.

I’m possessed by the appetite demon of the sky.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look at the essay on fish market fried food.

https://www.kibun.co.jp/brand/uogashiage/manga/index.html

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I love it when both handsome men and beautiful women make expressions like in the thread image.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

In all the works, the depiction of relationships is generally incredible, and the way they maintain a distance that doesn’t lead to an easy outcome is impressive.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This is the first time I’ve seen this person’s thread.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fruit of beauty is good.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t remember the title of the story about the rancher and the young lady.

A story in which cows and horses play active roles.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

Nobility of the earth, perhaps.

Line-symmetrical twin calves

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the paradise of fools.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Laughing in the Koshien sky → Maple War Chronicle, etc.

“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? → Bremen II is good to read in that flow.”

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

VandeMier’s backlash from the grape month is good too.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the story about how I was sticking my hand in a warm puddle, and when I finally decided to leave, it was so cold that I ended up being late.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The paperback edition has been expanded, but it still feels like it’s not quite complete…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the climax scene of “Silver Romantic,” the absurdity of Ivan, the fool, sitting in the audience in a full-body suit while crying is burned into my brain and won’t leave.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

Why are you here in a place like this?

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

And it’s so bright.

It’s so bright that I can’t see anything anymore…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

I love that the last scene is the scoring part.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The lord lives in a castle in the sky.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it should be adapted into a visual format more, but there really isn’t much at all…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

Live-action adaptation? What are you talking about?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

After reading Medalist and then reading Silver, I can’t help but laugh at how much the two main characters are like monsters.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>59

Jumping a quadruple in pairs and getting all 6.0 in that era is indeed legendary.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I somewhat like the scene where the siblings walk together in the live-action film.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve injured my dominant hand, and it seems I’m bad with machines, so the digital transition isn’t going well, and it’s disheartening and sad for the new work.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I like elements that appear across different works.

St. Michael Academy, Akio Yoshida Domain, and Anata Ana.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maple War Chronicles could be quite a catchy sports story now… or maybe not…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still remember the parody of “Is it here yet, is it here yet – I wonder if Gakken’s aunt is here yet.”

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The additional episode of the Laughing Archangel hasn’t been turned into an e-book yet.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

There are additional episodes.

I didn’t know.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

It seems that a definitive version was released on paper, depicting what happened to the three people and one cat afterward.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

I wondered what “one” referred to, could it be Damien?

107: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>93

Oscar is attached to the servant.

Kenshiro’s brother kicked the matchmaking partner and became immoral.

The Koropokkuru continued to stick close, comforting the teacher who was in despair and feeling down.

The story of Damian, who encounters a trio that has aged without realizing it and comes to understand the concept of time.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

In the paperback edition, it was written in just one page of text, but it has been adapted into a manga.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember reading this.

>>107

I don’t remember this…

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

Damien is not aware, but he has aged.

The person thinks they are usually extorting lunch boxes from the students.

In reality, I am in a situation where I am being pitied and given obento (lunch).

I met an elderly trio who were surprised that this guy was still alive.

The three-person group had their faces outside the frame.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t know that Zoroastrianism is quite a cult…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, a teacher who has many children and gets involved with students gives off a certain impression…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

It’s better than being with immoral siblings…

I mean, this person loves age-gap couples way too much.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

The age gap is more accepted in shoujo manga… in the reverse situation as well…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the one about shogi and pumpkin in the short stories.

The title won’t come up.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>71

Pumpkin plan?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

That’s it! Thank you.

It might have been Go instead of shogi.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel sorry for the woman who keeps being rejected for arranged marriage meetings.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The line “The silver romantic is the last one so dazzling that I can’t see anymore…” alone makes my tear ducts loosen.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Silver romantic… wahaha

It feels just right since it’s a conversation about skating.

No, that girl’s lifting up the guy, and it’s crazy…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

Powerful Composition!

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>78

The champion pair of the World Championship couldn’t do something like that… and it was a no-go.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is a technique that requires strength even for men!

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The immoral siblings are indeed immoral, but it’s hard to mock them too much for it.

Well, given that background, it’s something to cherish…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rudolph…

Oharu-san…

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There are countless works like the Hikaru Genji Project or shoujo manga.

Hikaru Genji was ridiculed and described as a laughing archangel.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A great angel that smiles honestly is fine!

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

How many miles to Babylon? It feels like we are going to a place that is so close, it’s almost like the foundation of FGO.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really liked the scene where Dad pointed out that the pose you’re doing right now is incredibly tough…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was the story about the high school girl who loves fishing?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

Mysterious Mariner

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

Ah, was that the title?

I was mistaken thinking that fishing terminology would be included.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Prince Ichijin was quite an unpredictable guy who went to soaplands for interviews.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, this Hakushon Daimaō ball is like a spell that consumes a lot of MP.

If it’s Dragon Quest, then it’s Behoimazun, if it’s Final Fantasy, then it’s Bahamut summon, and if it’s Shin Megami Tensei, then it’s Megidolaon.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Read the Leonard phenomenon.

The high IQ of the characters makes it enjoyable to read.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not quite to the point of depression, but it’s pretty serious after that, isn’t it?

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the Appetite Demon series.

Especially the one with the fruit.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

The one with the applejack?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

Maybe that.

I no longer have the book with me to confirm.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

I’ll tell the occupying forces, okay?

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>109

Anti-war, the Self-Defense Forces are the enemy of the people~

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

It’s the one with the model and the Self-Defense Forces officer.

The one who pours maple syrup on apple pie.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Make sure to keep the collector’s edition of “Silver Roma” with “Laugh in the Koshien Sky.”

102: Japan Otaku Reviews
104: Japan Otaku Reviews

The story of a former host brother who moved to Kagoshima, settled in the local area, and received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Encouragement Award is great.

What was the title again…?

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

Isn’t there a mix of the paradise of fools and the nobility of the earth?

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gardening magazine “Hana to Yume”

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

Kind uncle: “I will definitely read it!”

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t there a digital version of the 20 years later story of the laughing angel?

That dog can detect nostalgic smells and aging odors from three people.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

No, that’s wrong. It’s a fool’s paradise.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Soviet Union has come!

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s quite a sophisticated name for a fruit tree that a high school girl would give, “Fool’s Paradise.”

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m starting to crave miso soup.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>119

The sister who goes to break delicate glasswork by herself.

“Don’t make things that are fragile.”

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>128

I love how the word “that sister is clumsy” is just a bundle of words.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sister… I don’t want to smell that scent anymore…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pouring syrup over sweet snacks is quite something that the Self-Defense Forces do, isn’t it?

I don’t know how much research Ms. Carla has done, but…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are three complicated stories related to fruits that affect appetite.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Now for the next news.

Regarding the Korean Air flight shooting incident

The Japanese government told the Soviet Union to apologize, but the Soviet Union is ignoring it.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Bremen 2.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

I won’t eat peaches anymore.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>126

However, we ate a lot of it.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>130

I learned from this discussion that plants in the rose family are big eaters of nutrients…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel a sense of the times in flights via Anchorage.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

For details on that matter, please read the four-panel comic at the end of the “Burnham effect may or may not exist” manga. The trigger was a broken right wrist, but after six months of rehabilitation, it somehow healed. However, after that, I felt discomfort in my hand when holding a pen, and I thought, “Huh? Oh no—my drawings are getting worse.” At that time, three wise men appeared before the confused Kawahara and suggested, “What if you went digital?” Friends in the same profession, Fukuda, editorial staff from Hakusensha, and Tarosa, the editor Sakuman, all unanimously pushed for digitization. The easygoing Kawahara, as usual, readily agreed and said, “Oh~ I see? Got it! Okay!” Even though it was beyond my means, I bought a higher-end liquid tablet and a more powerful manga production computer, FUJITSU and WACOM. I thought, “Hmmm, if I bought the catalog, it would be…”

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Chinese pot lover

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

When I saw Kitagami from KanColle, I was reminded of Izumi Kawahara.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>135

I’m here…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Taro is still here!

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

A hand that seems to want to say something →

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

St. Michael Academy is one of the starting points of the world.

I think it’s good to start with the laughing archangel for now.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

All the characters that appear have high IQ and education…

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

Even if there are fools, there are no truly foolish people.

There’s a sense of salvation and a high level of satisfaction even with a cynical ending.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

A friend who buys a calf with their bonus, raises it, and buys a new car with the money from selling it.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

And then my friend immediately scrapped it.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

I learned how to read “Ibusuki” from this manga.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Laughing Archangel, reading it is definitely not a mistake.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is a big egg?

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

They will draw the end card for “Despair Teacher.”

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the Laughing Archangel is the best for beginners.

In the shojo manga, the protagonist turns around with a dried horse mackerel in their mouth.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

A shoujo manga where the protagonists eat buns on top of a wall and chat about everyday life.

148: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was taught that when you are sick, you should just eat something.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

Eat well when you’re feeling good.

Eat more when you are sick.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there are still few participants in figure skating for mixed pairs even now.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Make it clear whether it’s archangel or arcangel.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, the angel.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

Laughing Archangel

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>154

Correct! Now, accurately answer the official title that was announced during the commercial for Hakusensha on All Night Nippon, which depicted Koshien players.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if I like that the truth is lying in the forest…

The rest is the March Revolution.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>156

Isn’t it true that the boy’s mother cheats and goes to see the real father’s death, according to Mori’s truth?

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>164

The story is about a heroine who trips over a turtle in the forest where the truth is lying and ends up turning into a turtle.

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like my perception of shoujo manga has become quite distorted because the shoujo manga my mother had were works by Izumi Kawahara and the Leisure Club.

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>157

You’re the same kind of person as me.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

Is it my mother?

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

Why are there four or five people like me?

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

If you combine Rinoko Sasaki and Yumi Tamura, you pretty much get my mother.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>175

In our case, Tae Watanabe also belongs.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

I started with the short stories, but if you’re bracing yourself to take in Izumi Kawahara from now on, you might be like a laughing archangel.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that they were close friends, but their styles are too different.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

The little people are making a noise.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

This person is seriously funny in every way, so anything goes, but I still prefer the silver romantic… wahaha!!!

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wait, the ’24-year group’ is the classic path, isn’t it!

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I realize that my perception of shoujo manga has been quite distorted by my exposure to the works of Izumi Kawahara and Noriko Sasaki.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

My image of shoujo manga was shaped by this person and Rinko Sasaki.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I learned that tampons come with an applicator for smooth insertion.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

Please remember that it was Hikari Ijuin’s father who developed that.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be that it was the standard of shoujo manga for the nameless mother generation…?

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>173

The Flower 24 Group is relatively…

If we consider it the real-time generation, it would generally be around the age of seventy.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

It doesn’t feel like it’s overwhelmingly productive, so if you want to read, everything is suitable for beginners.

Run out

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

My mother likes Izumi Kawahara, Jun Mihara, Yumiko Oshima, and Noriko Sasaki.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Moto Hagio

Keiko Takemiya

Yumiko Oshima

Yasuko Sakata

Izumi Kawahara

183: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>179

My mom is a fan of Ryo Ko Yamashita.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope you don’t forget Ikano Ren…

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

This person’s manga is quite ahead of its time, isn’t it?

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>181

The taste of reading this was completely different from the manga I had read until then, and I thought, “So this is what a smart person’s manga is like…”

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are more bitter ends than I expected…

There are happier endings for fools than I expected…

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>182

But overall, the aftertaste is good, right?

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>190

Good…

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who like Izumi Kawahara generally also like Yasuko Sakata.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>184

Yasuko Sakata is really stylish.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was the title of the farm story?

“I remember the line ‘My prince is riding a cow.'”

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>185

Nobles of the earth

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>188

Thank you.

Is this the story about the former host man that was mentioned earlier?

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

I read it because it happened to be on my father’s bookshelf.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>189

There was a time when the atmosphere among otaku was strong with the feeling that shoujo manga is booming right now!

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that there were quite a few otaku girls who were influenced by Kawahara Izumi’s manga and tried to imitate that kind of speaking style back then…

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was it Yasuko Sakata that we were close with?

I heard that you were quite depressed after that person passed away.

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>196

I think it’s Jun Mihara.

It should be the teacher, for sure.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel intelligence from the fact that you’re probably reading a lot of books.

199: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I quite like the president of “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

I didn’t expect there to be a sequel.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you read Hana Yume, LaLa, and Wings from the ’80s, you can pretty much grasp the trends of that time.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

Professor Kahara

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quite like Comet-san because she has charm as well.

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

For a while, I often saw lolicon manga thumbnails here.

It seems like there might be an anonymous special attack.
