One of my Favorites and First to look into this genre
Around 2018, I started to stop watching anime due to my disinterest. Because the Isekai lost my interest I wanted to look elsewhere. However, the manga world opens up a new area you never saw in an anime or live-action. If you have never look at it before?
The onee-chanXShota genre.
This meaning is the relationship between a younger man and an older woman.
But what's great about My Boy is that it doesn't contain any kissing or XXX scenes lol. But feelings between two people who are bind together.
According to the author Hitomi Takano didn't want the romance part because it was kind of odd and would miss the point of her story.
Plus, she almost did a reverse gender situation: Older Guy + Younger Girl. However, she dropped that idea really fast.
made this collage around 2018 and man this story to me is soo freaking cute
What's the story about??
My Boy Revolves around a boy named Mashu Hayami who is 12 years old and a woman in her 30s named Satoko Tawada. The relationship between the two is like a mother and son relationship. Not About love except through care and affection. The Story does time jump between the 6 years of their relationship.
The crazy mid-plot is when Mashu's female classmate Nao Ogata is freaking Jealous of Satoko lol Jealous towards a older lady bruhh !!! lmao.....
I don't know how I would choose lmao....
To me, that's freaking crazy. I never really thought about that in real life ha ha ha. Nor being in a relationship with an older woman. At the time when I was 20 years old, this concept of a story was innovative and interesting. Sometimes I wonder what would be like My Cousin was shocked like wtf when I told him about the plot lmao...
This is the face that my cousin made lmao...
I appreciate princess_daphie who took the time to translate the manga for us all way back in 2017-2020.
She even agrees with us all that the story is soo freaking cute and wish it was all about romance.
Without spoiling anything I would say The ending would be more desirable lmao haha.
Though there are better endings from other mangas but this one doesn't need to be that one.
However, I freaking love the cover art on the manga.
Overall It's one of my favorite stories between a young man and an older woman. Well, it jump-started my love for this sort of genre to find deeper meaning and interesting storylines. As opposed to both going to the action for 4 straight pages lmao with no meaning whats soo ever ha ha ha. wink wink if you know you know lmao "Dont read or watch the OVA called Aki Sora lmao"
