So you should probably know by now (if you have ever met me) that I'm a huge manga / anime fan. Especially if the work is about either teenage romance or robots you can definitely count me in. One of my all time favorites (actually I can safely say that it is my most favorite) is Ai Yazawa's "Paradise Kiss". Spanning only 5 volumes, it is a melodramatic and bittersweet story about one average school girl's entrance into the exciting world of fashion.
It's hard to accurately describe how much I love this series (I also recommend Yazawa's Nana), so here's a couple more images. At the time that I am writing this, I have had to repurchase these novels 3 different times...I read them over and over until the pages fall out :)
K...it's hard to do the comic justice. Next, an anime adaptation was made. It's pretty good. But the real gift it gave me was the artist responsible for the main theme--Tommy February6
and here's the video for the full song which is so rad
Fast forward to now. There is a live action movie coming out!!! Here's the teaser trailer with English subs.
LOVE! FASHION! DESTINY! How stoked am I?!?!?! K so there wasn't a huge point to all that except that Paradise Kiss is so rad. so check it out.
