About this episode
Looks can be deceiving. Kaoru Suzuki is a towering boy who strikes fear into the hearts of his classmates with his intimidating looks... If they just got to know him, they're realise he's a kind, gentle boy but unfortunately nobody takes the time! That is until one day on the train to his new high school, he’s saved by a delicate but tough boy called Arata Haruna. The two boys hit it off immediately and slowly Suzuki begins to come out his shell to his new classmates, by revealing his unexpected passions for baking and gardening!This week, I'm joined by once again by Marg (aka MargReadsManga) to discuss Suzuki-Kun's Mindfull Life by Yuhki Fujimoto. Can this Shojo slice of life win us over? What does this book about challenging gender rolls have to say? And more importantly, how do we feel about the prospect of an age gap romance...---Show Notes---Manga---The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity by Saka MikamiWash It All Away by Mitsuru HattoriAfter The Rain by Jun MayuzukiBunny Drop by Yum UnitaMy Love Story!! by Kazune Kawahara & ArukoHoney So Sweet by Amu Meguro---TV Shows (and Podcasts)---Pluribus (and the podcast!)---Yuhki Fujimoto Interview (Japanese)Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!Find us on:X: Manga Tak PodBluesky: Manga Tak PodInstagram: Manga Tak Pod
