I have been restraining myself from posting this thread for a VERY long time, so -- if I get carried away-- you'll understand why. With that aside--
I just finished reading the MOST ADORABLE ROMANCE MANGA EVER!!!
Okay, it's called "Dear Mine". It's the story of a seventeen year old girl named Satoko who discovers one day that her family owes a huge debt, one they could never hope to have the money to pay back on their own. Luckily, a second party steps in and offers to pay the debt-- on one condition: that Satoko marry their president.
Naturally, Satoko is shocked. But little does she know that this suprise in the smallest of those in store for her. The bigger surprise comes when she meets her fiancee and discovers that he's-- more than four years younger than her!!
What could become of young Satoko, she who dreamed of nothing more than a simple high school romance?
Well, what I discovered in Dear Mine was one of the most touching, subtle, and innocent love stories I've ever read. At first, when I read the synopsis, I(as I assume you all are too) was like-- ":shady: That age difference is weird. And wrong. And gross. And (etc.)" But since it was suggested for all ages (And is really clean), I went ahead and got a chapter or two and *poof* I was hooked. Like Full Moon, you quickly forget that Fuuma, Satoko's fiancee, is younger than her. He jus acts so mature and kind that he quickly become an adult in your mind. Not a child.
Oh, you guys simply must read it! It's only available by scanlations (Endless Dimension), but if you PM me I can give you the simple directions to one place where you can get all twenty-one chapters. Oh, it's so wonderful *huggles the uber adorable Fuuma*

Dear Mine
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Yeah, I can't do bittorent either!! I, luckily, found a way to get around it. You can PM me if you want and I'll give you uber simple instructions. That's the only kind of directions I can give: simple.

I'm with the "chibs." ^^ Can you pm me the link, Osaka, for the 21 chapters? I figure I'll just ask you to pm me here, rather than me going through that whole pm'ing process. *heh* ~_^
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

It's funny, when I read it, I read the last tow chapter in the wrong order. Sorta anti-climactic.
Did you really think the ending was that abrupt? I sorta liked the ending. . .

Just finished reading. That is, as they say in Sweden, pretty awesome. A few thoughts:
Hagane stole my hair!
Takachiyo ownz all. I do not know any other character that can still be considering flamingly cute while almost causing a girl to plummet to her doom. Did anyone else feel that Shigeru put more effort into drawing him than most everybody else?
I like all of the inner monologue, although I sometimes had trouble figuring out who was thinking what.
I didn't like Kazumi(?) at first, but by the end she was one of my favorites. I can't say I've ever been in her shoes but I've been on both ends of something close and a lot of it looked very familiar. Painfully familiar, even. Really, there were plenty of things in this manga that made me feel that way. Even though my life has never been that crazy it felt like I had been there before. Very good stuff.

Age differences don't normally bother me...Kenshin and Tomoe had an obvious age difference with Tomoe being older (that was so strange...), and Kenshin and Kaoru have an age difference of 11 years.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Who? Tachiyo, who was that again? Oh I'm so bad with names. I need to read the manga again.

Oh, totally agree with you on this score. The story telling style was very interesting and engaging, but it was still confusing. I wish the mangaka could have put a difference in the kinds of bubbles that each character's dialogue was in. That would make it alot easier. I had to read a couple pages more than once to figure out who said what!

Kazumi scared me. I'm glad I never had to baby sit any kids like her.
But really, I felt very sorry for her. Childhood crushes are the worst. Her little eyes were so cute though!
My Favorite character was definitely Fuuma. He was just so adorable and still so adult. I especially loved when he's loosen his tie. HOW ADORABLE!! (Isn't that right, T-chan.

Takachiyo is Fuuma's baby brother (the two-year-old), and Hagane is Fuuma and Takachiyo's, um, keeper?

I had to read a couple pages more than once to figure out who said what!
I noticed also that there were several thoughts that could have at least started from any of the characters in the scene. Maybe it was Takao's somewhat convoluted way of suggesting that everyone was thinking the same thing without distancing the thoughts by explicitly addressing them as collective. Or, maybe I'm just thinking that that would be an awesome thing to do were it pulled off right. In this case I think we're just looking at bad layout.
Overall though I thought it was some of the best paneling I've ever seen. Takao had a very conscious control of pace throughout the entire series that is better than that of any other manga I can think of.
And Fuuma is pretty awesome. My favorite scene with him is when he and Takachiyo are wearing the crowns and he makes Satoko wear those beggar's clothes. For me that summed up his whole, er, idiom pretty well and was really cute to boot.

Oh, him! Oh yeah, he was kissably adorable! Now that I know who you're talking about, I'd say you're right. I think Shigeru enjoyed drawing "the baby."

Kawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this thread and was bored enough to read all of it. (does a little happy dance) It was soooo wonderful. Fuuma's awesomely cute, the twins... (collapses into a state of fangirl fanaticism) EEEEEEEEE! Many thanks for a fine find.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! And yeah, I can see a few similarities between Kazumi and Megumi.
