The final years of the Tokugawa Shogunate in the capital of Edo (present-day Tokyo). Uncomfortable with society's expectations of her gender, Suzu Kanchiku becomes the only woman in a sword training school and devotes herself tirelessly to her art until she can even defeat men. Outside the confines of the dojo, she faces other challenges such as samurai who seek to woo her, and she carves out her own path as she realizes what it means to "live as a woman" in her day and age. Through the lives of female martial arts masters, prostitutes, shop clerks, Buddhist nuns and swords-for-hire, Hinatsuba conveys the strength, resilience and kindness of the various women who lived in Edo at the end of the mid 19th century.

This old classic is the story of Hyoudo Shin, the son of professional golfer Hyoudo Masashi. He idolizes his father, but they’ve never played together – not since the death of his mother. Masashi demands a certain level of proficiency from his son before they can play together, but when he reaches that level (still in grade school) his father is coaching someone else – the son of a rival who can no longer play. So what else can Shin do? Become the rival of the kid his father is coaching! Actually, that's not what this manga is about - there’s a switch. You’re told that story so that you can then discover the real story – that of Hoshino Subaru – the son of a former golf pro now in a wheelchair. He had to give up basketball because he has a heart condition, but golf? He just might be gifted at that, with a swing that hooks his ball high in the sky…

Shonen Shojo is an assamblage of Satoshi Fukushima's short stories. The only thing the 28 chapters really have in common is that they revolve around the relation between male and female, mainly boys and girls. Each story experimates with completely new topics. There may be young musicians, football playing girls, aliens, popstars, samurai, yakuza, seniors or even caries bacteria. Anyhow some of the stories are continued. What one could call the main story (because there is one episode in each volume) is telling of the girl Yoshiko who has pushed her friend into a deep fountain. Unfortunately this boy dies in this accident and Yoshiko now feels guilty towards the boy's younger brother Goro. In some time steps the reader is following their uncertain relationship. Despite the name, Shonen Shojo is not a book for children. Often the stories end abruptly and leave a lot of space for interpretations.

Sanada is good-looking, yet a maiden at heart. Harui is a tiny, yet handsome boy. Their meeting was fated.

*Note: 25 chapters were originally published, but were later compiled into 5 in some releases.*
