Manga: Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

こんにちわみんな!(Konnichiwa Minna!)
元気ですか?(Genki desu ka?)
いつもよう、私はあなたに大丈夫な望む(Itsumo you, watashi wa anata ni daijoubu na nozomu.)

Today I'm going to present you another manga, right now I'm in a Japanese-like-mood, xD , also, I'm happy as in the past week, because today there were just 2 homeworks (Math and English), so I read a chapter of the Spanish class book "Cómo Agua para Chocolate" and then I played 3 games at the JA Titan game, and I lost all of them. That was frustrating ¬¬ .

         Anyway, the manga that I bring today to present you now is ‪Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (ヤマトナデシコ七変化;  you can call it YamaNade, is way much shorter) created by Hayakawa Tomoko. This manga have different names at America and Europe such as The Wallflower, Perfect Girl Evolution(PGE), My Fair Lady, The Perfect Lady, etc., the closest translation to the literal meaning is "Various changes to become the ideal(perfect) woman(lady)", :3 as the title says, it is about to turn a girl into a "perfect lady": 

         In a gorgeous, spacious mansion, four handsome high-school boys live there, renting the house to a widow rich woman who is always traveling searching for a new love. Suddenly, one day she offers to give them the mansion rent for free for three years if they manage to turn her wallflower niece (which was going to become the lady's heir) into a "perfect lady", but if they failed, the rent price will triplicate. However, the four bishounen did never imagined what kind of girl they are going to meet, and how problematic it will be to deal with her because she wouldn't want to change because of the trauma she have since middle school after being rejected and called "ugly" by the boy she confessed, and now had become a gloomy, agoraphobic, horror movie lover, fashion-illiterate reclusive girl, who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive; this was more than what they expected, they needed a miracle to succeed in their mission for the free rent…

         This story is really interesting: full of comedy, also of romance. At first what would make you laugh is the reaction the bishounen had when they saw Sunako(the lady's niece), and then of what they do trying to turn her a lady and integrate her into the high society life, or what she does when she is excited or angry, her reactions are also really weird and funny. I love this manga almost as much as One Piece, is really one of my favorites >-< . The genres of this comic are Shoujo, Harem, Slice of life, Comedy, Romance, and School Life. The plot gets more and more interesting as chapters passes and it is not the typical comedy or stupid love story you will always see, you can't even be sure if there is really love, but in anyway you will have a good time reading this manga, thou it is a bit large. :D
         There’s also anime and dorama of this manga, but is much shorter and haven't obviously the whole story that you might misunderstand something; the manga have published right now 112 chapters of at least 40 pages each, and the anime have a little bit more of 20 episodes. I don't know much about he dorama, but when I just watched the first episode I didn't wanted to watch anymore, it changed the original mangaka's story :S (example: the rich lady had a son, which in the manga isn't true, because then the heir of all her richness would be the son, not the niece). Also in the manga, the mangaka tells you some of her experience and tells you about her little cute cat, which she adores really much (some of her experiences will make you want to make a facepalm, the reasons have to be inferred from what you may read).



Well, that's all for now, I wish you liked this post.
Have nice and relaxed weekend, (mine is going to be stressful)
Goodbye, GBU!   ^.^ ありがとうございました!
Sunako hits Kyouhei. Takenaga, Yuki and Ranmaru tries to stop her.
