Also to add(since I can’t edit)The short stories in this book just leaves you wanting more and I’m confused on how I feel about that sometimes as they were enjoyable. I especially like the bunnygirl story and show she handled herself as well as the first person perspective. I wish that story was long or that maybe she can do a story about that instead of maids next time around.

Actually I prefered the male gaze that the book has going on. Being that the stories that she serialize in the fellows magazine that is for man this isn’t even surprising. This is actually the one time she has gotten to go all out on drawing the female form in all its beauty. That said to each their own, you being female I can see why you wouldn’t really like it so its not fair for me to be angry at you(which I’m not) for not liking it.

Maybe she can do a story with the female gaze in mind because its not like the man she draw aren’t good looking individuals.

I do need to read more Mori. I have 4 volumes of A Bride’s Story to read, as well as the first volume of Emma. I loved the first volume of A Bride’s Story. It appeals to the anthropologist in me.

Yeah, i didn’t care too much for the male gaze either, but I thought Mori’s application of the first person was clever.

Liked “To Come to See”. Mostly because I know how it felt to wear glasses for the first time. Even wrote about it too. http://www.mangatherapy.com/post/44063457482/to-come-to-see-your-glasses-kick-butt-kaoru-mori

Still one of the most underrated mangaka out there today.

I thought “Sumire’s Flowers” was the best story of the bunch, and I liked her modern day stories the most of her work (although Miss Claire’s Ordinary Life was quire fun) I liked the first person stories, but the male gaze was a bit too pointed, even though the women portrayed weren’t push overs.
