where can I find raw manga for this
LOL
yukio eres tu? Jaja
Oh, for . . .! Unfollowed. Thanks, saved me a frustrating time.
You know what this reminds me of? Not the many, many shojo manga where a poor young girl suddenly becomes the heir of a massive, venerable fortune. It reminds me of a specific type of side character, in most of those stories. It reminds me of the middle-aged woman, part of the family, who starts off highly adversarial to the protagonist's unconventional, willful ways. The one who is harshly critical of the protagonist's slow progress towards becoming a Proper Lady, and acts as a low-grade roadblock in all of the protagonist's plans and schemes. The one who, at the most critical moment, finally relents, and supports the climax of the story in a small but vital way, because she too remembers being a young and desperate girl pushed into a bad situation for the family's sake, and even though she's come to accept her loveless marriage, and her role as a sacrificial pawn for the family's wealth, she looks at the protagonist now and wishes she'd had a fraction of the younger girl's courage back then, that she had held on to her dreams and ideals a little more tightly. This manga reads like that woman's backstory. That Tsumire will inevitably end up with Koudai, despite her own best efforts to make herself miserable, almost feels cheap in comparison.
I went ahaed and checked the raws. This is what seems to happen at the end without understanding the language. Take this with a grain of salt:
Story
Last chapter
I can't wait to see if this is all true though.
I normally hate this setup. The whole girl-suddenly-an-heiress, dealing with the nasty rich family and all that, tends to piss me off--particularly, the male leads are usually a swift pain. But Raiphin's right, this one seems pretty decent so far.
We don't have an age check on the lawyer, but he seems pretty young; it seems he only just took over from his father as the family's lawyer, and his interactions with his fellow lawyer at his office give the impression of someone competent but still fairly new.
It's a setting Shoujo's done quite a few times before (Arakure!/Wild Ones!, to name another fun one) but the heroine seems to have a reasonable backbone and the guy (who we really need an age check on...) is neither a jerk nor Mr. Perfect.
So sure, more of this please!
hm. i'll bite.
I bet the lawyer is going to turn out to be her father
Honestly, my first impression is superb. Head and shoulders stronger than the run-of-the-mill shoujo manga.
