Monday, May 18, 2009
That's right folks. For those of you who've got nothing to do on the long weekend, why not check this series out?

Author: Asano Inio
Genre: Seinen, Romance, Drama, Slice of Life
Total Volume Count: 2
Kenn's Comment: It's so nice *u*. The story is great, the art is even better. It's such a realistic story, even the art doesn't use the usual manga deformations. It's a nice series in the fact that there's no magical powers, no supernatural forces acting on the characters, no giant robots, no evil supervillains plotting to take over the world. Just life in it's most natural form. On another note, there are plans to make this manga into a live action..movie I think? Miyazaki Aoi will be starring as the main character, Meiko, and Miki Takahiro will be directing it. It's probably gonna be out next year or so, since the filming only started last month.
Summary from MangaUpdates:
Slice of life with a young couple, Inoue Meiko and Taneda Shigeo, and how everyday occurrences affect their lives. Meiko begins contemplating whether freedom without purpose is really the same thing as boredom. This is a retelling of a very common real life situation, perhaps enjoyable enough for an older fanbase.
