Where it all started...

Platypus, the preserver of manga history, showed this page he scanned from a 1978 issue of Monthly Manga Shounen (月刊マンガ少年) to me. It was great seeing a manga artist, Minamoto Tarou, acknowledged the importance of Fire! even back then, and hailed it as the grandmother of the 70s bishounen manga.

Here's a quick translation for you.

Monthly Manga Shounen, issue no. 1978/8

Minamoto Tarou

Speaking of show business, when I was watching Yamaguchi Momoe sing “Playback” on TV the other day, I was suddenly reminded of Takakura Ken’s youth. Her dreamy gaze when she sings, how she looks slightly bashful when her song ends... She was almost the spitting image of Ken-san of the past. Is it that there’s something "manly" in a woman’s charm? Or does a man’s masculinity has something akin to femininity? ...And it brings me to the topic of male-male romance manga drawn by women. Things took off after manga like Mo-sama’s “Gymnasium” or “Thomas”, and Takemiya Keiko-shi’s “Yuki to Hoshi to Tenshi to.” And until now, there has been a plethora of works in that vein, and every magazine you pick up today sure to be full of such works. But when did it really start? When I think about it, Mizuno Hideko-shi shines bright. Yes, I'm talking about “Fire!” “For the first time in my life, I loved someone more than I did my mother: Fire Wolf.” Didn’t this whole world came to be in young Aaron’s cries as he was breaking down in tears  before the flames of the explosion that killed Wolf? This is what I think.

**Insert fangirl squee here!**

My 5 Favorite Legal J-Dramas

I love them because they have perfect balance of seriousness and humour, not too dark and not too comedic. And the chemistry of the main leads are fun to watch with their constant bickering. 😂

1. Hero (2001)

Kuryu (Kimura Takuya) is an unconventional prosecutor who has a habit of investigating the criminals himself before prosecuting, which agitates his paralegal, Amamiya (Matsu Takako) has it delays the process while more cases are piling up, and often conflicts with the police who thinks he does not trust their investigation skills.

The series is so good that it has a second season with a newcomer played by Keiko Kitagawa, a special episode with Haruka Ayase and a movie with both Keiko Kitagawa and Matsu Takako. I like their chemistry, not just between the main leads but the supporting characters as well that got pulled into Kimura Takuya's shenanigans.

2. Miss Justice (2018)

A similar tale of a public prosecutor, Ririko (Yoshitaka Yuriko) whose strong sense of justice get in her daily work as she takes time to solve each cases diligently, playing the role of a "detective" to ascertain that the suspects are really guilty before she prosecutes them. However, it only delays her other cases which snowballs.

This agitates her older and experienced paralegal (Yasuda Ken) who is tasked to ensure she completes each task on time without delay. But over time, both him and the entire department who got pulled into her shenanigans finally understands her reasoning and begin to respect her as a fellow prosecutor and not as a newbie.

3. Police and Prosecutor (2023)

Gota (Kiritani Kenta) and Minami (Higa Manami) are siblings who work as a law enforcer and a paralegal respectively. She works for an ambitious public prosecutor, Shuhei (Higashide Masahiro) whose values and principles are opposite of Gota, which often puts them at odds with one another when they work together on every case.

While Minami and Shuhei know the grey world in their line of work, Gota is a brash detective who only sees thing in black and white which often puts them at odds with one another. But their opposing personalities and styles of work eventually help to solve the cases in arresting and prosecuting the right criminal.

4. Ishiko and Haneo (2022)

Ishiko (Kasumi Arimura) is an obstinate law graduate who aspired to be a lawyer but after failing the bar four times, she gives up her dreams and works as a paralegal at her father's private law firm where she met the prodigy Haneo (Nakamura Tomoya) who passed the bar on first attempt due to his photographic memory.

Ishiko is a bit insecure in having to work with a prodigy while Haneo is actually terrible at adapting that he often mask it with his "superior intellectual". Their different personalities and styles of working contradict each other as the two of them, with their own inferiority complexes, are thrown together to solve cases.

5. Binta : Love and Law (2022)

Minowa (Matsumoto Toshio) is a former delinquent who doesn't have a regular job and never really thought seriously about life until he had to look after his young step-sister left behind by his late father. He lands a job as clerk, working for a strong headed lawyer, Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka) who is dumbfounded by his "stupidity".

But his strong sense of justice is a welcoming change that she needed having work in a corporate law firm surrounded by "vultures" that the two decided to start their own private firm to genuinely help people that really need help and not simply for the big money. But with each case, they realize things are not as simple as they think.

[haiquye]

【Translation】 Narita’s Paradox and the Official Publicity of SessKagu

Information from three Weibo posts (see in article).

It seems rather paradoxical that Ken Narita first indicated that he felt Sesshomaru was and might only be compassionate toward Kagura, then disclosed that he struggled to properly interpret Sesshomaru’s love for Kagura while acting, in the very same conversation. (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840906711107187). It sounds like Sesshomaru loved and did not love Kagura at the same time.

The reason is when Narita mentioned Sesshomaru’s compassion, he was talking about his own opinion toward Sesshomaru the character, whereas when he played his role, he was acting as Sesshomaru himself. Narita as a Sess fan likes the idea of Sesshomaru being alone, with slight tend to see him and Kagura together. When it comes to the anime he voice-acts Sesshomaru in, in the mentioned scene, the character Sesshomaru holds love for Kagura, and that is nothing Narita can or will change. To put it simple, it is Narita’s personal opinion that Sesshomaru at least sympathies with Kagura, but it was the canon plot that there was love from him to her.

 Yes, it was in the official publicity that Sesshomaru and Kagura were a couple in romantic sense, just as the other canon CPs – Miroku and Sango, our hero and heroine (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840929313167896). Before and during the running of Inuyasha Final Acts, SessKagu always appeared CP in the advertisement. That was why in the famous Yamaguchi-Narita interview they admitted that Sesshomaru loves Kagura. We can still find those official placards showing Sesshomaru and Kagura were in love with each other. (https://m.weibo.cn/status/4840914579886076)

(Text in the right page:

Consist of these!

Tinge of romantic love, helping others, fighting, ridicle, TV series

Following the previous series, with cross and complex relationships, this time there is the feast of fight between those sometimes friends , sometimes enemies again! Moreover, the tinge of love and desire has reached the outcome…? A must – watch for fans!

Sesshomaru

The half-brother of Inuyasha, Travelling with Jaken and the human child Rin (the word “child” is “girl” in Japanese, but that Japanese word only refers to little girls, so I chose child to express it better.) for his own purposes. Seems to care about Kagura in Naruku’s side very much!

Sesshomaru journeys further in quest of his self. In the beginning of Final Acts, his relationship with Kagura is specially featured.

Besides, Inuyasha’s charm lies in the portrayal of each character’s feeling. Miruku and Sango, Sesshomaru and Kagura, and Inuyasha & Kagome/Kikyou, how each pair will feel and go. Stay tuned!)

(I hate the grammar here. I’m not joking. Please pay attention to your sentences even if you’re advertising! )
