Read Right to Left - Let's Make Forbidden Love



This is the very first josei manga I ever read, and it gave me a very poor impression of the manga written for that demographic as a whole. I have since discovered some josei series that are considerably better written, and a few that are at the very least far more memorable.

  1. So much stuff I have yet to read... The first Josei manga I ever picked up was about a grown man learning how to raise a child, so I was under the impression that Josei manga were all manipulative and dealt with complicated subjects.

    I'd say I was being naive, but I'd like to think of it as "blissfully unaware".

    This sounds like a reverse magical girlfriend plot, and you can always reason those out by pointing out that, while not exactly responsible father material, having a smart, attractive and reliable young man at your beck and call waiting for you at home is never a bad thing.
