![]() I’m guessing Kodansha thinks the oversized print release will make it profitable enough thanks to the “every girl’s fantasy” angle - that, or they already know something the rest of us don’t, like an anime adaptation is in the works. Out of her three major works, Kyou no Kira-kun seems like it would have been the safest choice for a print release thanks to the main characters being high school students instead of an adult male x high school female romance. Mikimoto is a relatively new author to the Western manga market, but has been fairly well-known in scanlation circles with this series, Love’s Reach, and Kyou no Kira-kun ( Today’s Kira-kun). My first impression of Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight was that this seemed a bit odd choice by Kodansha Comics to give it a print release. The two end up dating, but of course this must be kept a secret since Japan hates the thought of idols having a personal life. Hinana confesses to loving romantic movies, and celebrity Kaede doesn’t have to be in his “on camera” mode. They bump into each other again, and the two end up enjoying each other’s company as they can be their real selves. Hinana ends up making an impression on Kaede - mostly because first she accidentally gives him a panty flash. If there is ever a female Butt Detective, Kaede would probably be the first in line to buy it. Kaede has a butt fetish, even buying figures of anime characters’ bottoms and glasses shaped liked rears. At the very minimum, it’s discomforting, especially in light of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movement in the US. You see, Hinana is trying to keep her inner fangirl under control when she wanders near a 24-year-old celebrity and sees him ogling high school girls’ butts. By most standards, Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight isn’t technically a Cinderella derivative (Hinana isn’t being cruelly treated by a stepmother or any female for that matter), but for this “all-new Cinderella story with outrageous twists and turns”, the theme song may be less Depending on how you classify variants, hundreds to even thousands of these types of tales exist. and they date back to the first century BC or earlier. But Hinana is shocked to learn that she may not be the only one with an interest they keep hidden from everyone…Ĭinderella stories can be found all over the globe. #Kiss me at the stroke of midnight dramacool movieKeeping up the act may be difficult when her school used as a setting in a movie starring Kaede, a popular idol. Hinana appears to be a honor student only interested in studying, but she’s actually a romantic at heart with a soft spot for fairy tales. ![]()
