Indeed I do :3 We'll see how Kaori-sensei's story pans out...
Too bad I'm not much of a writer...or an artist for that fact...though I draw more than I write fiction.
I just dont have time or inspiration to do such things any more...
For me, it's school tha't's stealing the time i otherwise should have used to make stories. Ah well, That's what summer holidays are for.
And so my standard question: what is the Meine Liebe manga about?
Meine Liebe was originally a video game released for the game boy back in 2000-ish. Kaori Yuki did the character designs.
It was basically a dating sim, and I'm not all too certain of the original plot of the video game.
Basically, its an over the top romp with five (six? if you count the seinen :3) pretty guys who drive the girls gaga.
The game was popular enough among the shoujo crowd to generate drama cds and a special art book.
Now we have a manga being written about it. And an anime as of late last year.
As I have yet to find scanlations, I cant really tell you what its about in detail since my Japanese is utterly crappy and patchwork.
But the anime story line seems to be following the manga storyline, and there are fansubs for that and as of yet, no sign of anybody picking it up for commercialization (THANK GOD). You can still find the fansubs on Bittorrent trackers.
Anyway...the anime seems to be focused more on eye candy than plot, but I guess thats what you get when you throw some pretty boys together from a dating sim.
Basically, it works on a Guy-of-the-week basis where we get to learn a little about the intriguing and possibly tragic past of one of our princes
Characters include Orpherus (Orpheus, silent stoic guy with tragic past), Naoji (Japanese element of the series), Camus (resident uke psychic boy), Eduard (genki boy with tragic past), Ludwig (resident dark, broody long-haired bish) Sir Issac (the older rough-hewn-but-handsome fellow)
Running theme: Ludwig vs. Orpherus.
There are also female characters but while the manga is from their POV, the anime more or less has them as asides.
The official japanese page for the show doesnt even mention them in the characters page.
Other stuff: Meine Liebe now has a PS2 game as well.
No news of whether it will ever be released out of country.
