About the author

Yumiko Igarashi (いがらしゆみこ) is a resident of Sapporo, Hokkaido. She is also the cousin of fellow mangaka Satsuki Igarashi; a member of Clamp.

In 1968, as a third-year high school student at the Asahi Gaoka High School in Sapporo, Hokkaidō, she made her debut in Shueisha's Ribon manga magazine with Shiroi Same no iru Shima. She won the 1st Kodansha Manga Award in 1977 as the artist of Candy Candy.

In the late 1990s, Igarashi became involved in a number of legal battles related to her intellectual property rights as an illustrator. Igarashi claimed that in series for which she was the illustrator, she should hold sole intellectual property rights to the portrayals of the characters, and not need the consent of her authors to license merchandise based on their likenesses. In a dispute over the Candy Candy character designs in 1999, the court ruled against Igarashi, stating that both she and writer Kyoko Mizuki held equal rights to the characters, and awarded Mizuki reparations equal to 3% royalties on all the merchandise that had been created without her consent. This legal battle paralyzed the franchise for several years, interfering with Toei's production of a Candy Candy anime, and making the creation of new merchandise difficult due to the court's order that all merchandise be approved by both Igarashi and Mizuki, but a trickle of new merchandise was produced in 2004, suggesting some agreement had been reached.

Georgie finds out that she does not belong to that family. The mother spilled it all out. Georgie disguise herself as a boy and leave to England to search for the truth and find her real family!

Calificación: 4'5/5

¡Oh por Dios me ha encantado! Los huecos que tenía el anterior tomo aquí se responden y la trama cada vez va tomando un rumbo más serio y podemos ver más conflictos y drama. Eso sí, de ha momentos peca en ser poco verosímil, pero para ser una historia de ese tipo, maneja muy bien los sentimientos y pasiones de los personajes.

Espero leer muy pronto el siguiente tomo :3

Well that went from zero to ten in no time at all, one second we're frolicking in the rain and the next we're having people almost die. I definitely can't say that this story is boring haha.

I hope that we can get a bit better characterization of Georgie, Abel, Arthur and Lowell in the next volume though. They all feel a little underdeveloped, especially with how some of them fall in love instantaneously, knowing nothing about the other. Otherwise I'm enjoying the drama and story a lot.

Arthur it's so cute. ♥️
I hate Abel though.

Plus que retrouver Lowell c'est bien le mystère de sa naissance que Georgie part découvrir. Sa détermination est exemplaire et du coup tous ces sentiments écrasants venant des hommes qui l'entourent deviennent insupportables.
