![]() ![]() However it is perhaps a common factor that strengthens their kinship – the fact that both of them are raised by single parents. The author uses the classic trope of ‘opposites attract’, Natsuro is ambitious & wants to become an international football player, while all Suzumura wants is to be happily married when she grows up. Natsuro & Suzura’s feelings for each other escalates very quickly. Ozaki explores themes like toxic parenting, abandonment issues and it’s hard to believe that the protagonists are just a pair of pre-teen kids. It’s an interesting book that finishes too soon and has some weird little comic scenes that only the Japanese could insert in a kids Manga. One day, a girl called Suzumura speaks to him and soon the two become friends. It’s a stand-alone Manga/Graphic Novel about Natsuro Nanao, a boy who loves football and who girls in his school avoid talking to. Book number 9 this year – The Gods Lie by Kaori Ozaki. ![]()
