I don't know any real women who are at all like her, but I suppose that's not the point. Although she's virginal, gentle, shy, and sweet-natured, she can become blushingly sexy at the drop of a hat, and she always knows just the right moment to become naked. However, things have changed since they were children, and Kaoru is determined never to go back to the Hanabishi family.Īoi is what I imagine many young men's fantasies of the perfect woman are like. Kaoru was once the Hanabishi heir, and if this were still the case he could marry Aoi. For the sake of her powerful family's reputation, she must marry someone from a family with similar standing. She becomes determined to stay with him and be his wife, but, unfortunately, her family won't hear of it. She's decided to find her childhood sweetheart and marry him, and she soon realizes that Kaoru is the one she was looking for. On his way to catch a train, Kaoru Hanabishi comes across a lost, naive young woman named Aoi. If not, just buy the first volume, and forget the rest. I'd generally pass on it unless you can get it for cheap like I did (it's 13 volumes plus,) and you can deal with the nudity. It's sad, actually, because they could have had a strong story about two young people falling in love, and instead they cram in a pointless harem story to take away from it. These volumes have the parental advisory on them, and they earn it to the point you skip over the nudity because it's so pointless. Taeko, Chika, and Mayu add little to nothing to the plot, and there's so many bath scenes you'd be forgiven to think that this was a bathhouse manga instead. EVERYONE gets naked, and Kaoru and Aoi are forced to hide their love for almost all of the series. The three of them would have made for an excellent story.īut ugh, the harem aspects and fan service are so annoying. She's a yamato nadeshiko-a perfect Japanese woman-and at times, to Americans she'll seem codependent and a bit "I'm back in the kitchen and I like it!" The story doesn't go far enough in explaining her mindset either in my opinion it could have shown more about how her near-obsessive love for Kaoru is a reflection of an incredibly stern and privileged upbringing. Aoi's reluctance to wear a swimsuit in public, among others.Īoi's portrayal has some issues. Aoi and Kaoru truly love each other, and there's some nice touching moments.
#AI YORI AOSHI KAORU SERIES#
The series is very good when Aoi and Kaoru act together, and it has a refreshing take on love. What's annoying about them is that while some of them aren't all that bad (Tina's story is quite sweet,) it forces what was great about the series into hiding for a lot of pointless drama. There's Tina, the half-japanese American. There's one big problem though the manga-ka decides to toss this out, and saddle them with the most annoying harem in existence. It's sweet,and a bit melodramatic, but in some ways its better than average. This is the story in the first volume, and it's pretty good.
Now Kaoru must deal with a very attractive, very traditional young woman who reminds him of his painful past. While Kaoru has forgotten her, she has always cherished him in her heart, and has come to find him. He fixes it, and offers to help her find the address she is looking for. One day, he meets a very cute, traditional young women who is at a loss as she breaks her sandal at the train station. Kaoru Hanabishi is a man who fled his domineering family after years of emotional and physical abuse. A sweet romance gets utterly sidetracked by the most unnecessary harem ever. Pengungkapannya tidak hanya mengejutkan tetapi juga mengingatkan bagian terdalam dari ingatan Kaoru mengapa dia meninggalkan keluarga Hanabishi sejak awal.This review is for the series. Ternyata gadis di depannya adalah Aoi Sakuraba sendiri, tunangannya yang datang jauh-jauh ke Tokyo untuk menikah dengannya. Dia memberinya foto dua anak yang segera diidentifikasi oleh Kauru sebagai dirinya sendiri dan Aoi Sakuraba, teman masa kecilnya. Tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukan selanjutnya, Kaoru mengundang gadis yang hancur itu ke apartemennya dan meminta petunjuk tambahan ke tujuannya. Dia menawarkan diri untuk memandu jalannya ke alamat yang dia cari, yang kebetulan berada di lingkungannya, tetapi ternyata itu adalah tanah kosong. Menceritakan Kaoru Hanabishi, seorang mahasiswa yang tinggal sendirian, bertemu dengan seorang gadis cantik tapi bingung mengenakan kimono di stasiun kereta api. Ini adalah kisah cinta antara dua karakter yang belum pernah bertemu selama bertahun-tahun, tetapi pernah menjadi teman masa kecil.
