A shoujo manga

Apr 04, 2007 03:15

There's a former famous child actor who passes her days in boredom and without purpose. There's a talented football player who was rejected by his team.
There's a genius progamer who acts codly to almost everyone but his computer.
There's a strange girl who likes wearing Lolita fashion...
Almost of them have serious scars in the past and are considered abnormal by the society's standard. They could have become like Hikikomori one day if their lives continue like that.
Fortunately, there's a free high school for students like them who don't have a place where they belong. Students attending there neither have to come to any class nor talk with anyone even teacher, they can do anything that is not allowed to do in an ordinary high school and learn whatever they want. Somehow it is like another kind of Totochan's school.
In that free school, those stray cats meet each others by chances then step by step find the places for their minds. They learn to stop being bothered by the past, overcome the biased jubgments , treasure the present and then begin a new stage in their lives.

All above are what happen in Cat street - a shoujo manga. Kamio Youko really made me supprised with this manga. It is so different from her previous works (Hana yori dango) which is absolutely not taste of a shounen manga freak like me. I have to admit that though her style is not my favourite. This proves me that almost artists are not one-sided as normal people always think. They could create works that only for profits, but at the same time that doesn't mean they couldn't make something meaningful.
