This was a shock to read, the beginning is similar to the anime show we watched as kids but then the story changes. Most of my favorite episodes aren't created by the original artist but by the team who adapted the series. The story starts off the same way Lynn/Rin comes to England with her mother who is Japanese married to an English man who will inherit the dukedom. He was previously married and had a daughter 5 years older than Lynn, who is 5, her name is Sarah 10, but she is always sick and weak so she can't inherit her heritage. An accident takes place as they leave London and Lynn's mother dies. Sarah is cruel to Lynn, she is jealous of her, Lynn's English is accented, and she looks mixed. Her grandfather the duke is even crueler and refuses Lynn and won't acknowledge her as his grandchild and possible heir. Enters a third candidate for Lynn's father as a future husband and a possible heir bearer, Magdalen, who is a mom of two children of her own Mary 9 and Thomas 10, she tolerates Sarah but despises Lynn for her mixed blood and looks and wants to send her to Japan to her grandparents. Lynn loves her new home, her sister, and her father, and she meets their neighbors Edward 9, and Arthur 11. I felt in the TV show that everyone was a bit older. Lynn falls in love with Arthur, and she knows Sarah loves him too but she is too sick to be with him, and Mary loves him too, and every other woman in the series, except for me, I love Edward, always have and always will. Edward falls for Lynn and tries to help her. The future wife of her father tells her right away that her mother died. After many incidents and unhappiness for all of them, Lynn tells Edward that she will go back to Japan so everyone will be happy. Her stepmother threatens her and falsely promises to take care of Sarah is she leaves. So she does.



After 6 years (though it felt like 10) Lynn's father buys her an English Villa, suddenly it's sold and they are kicked off the property, her grandparents are too old and not wealthy enough to help, her family's letters stop and she is worried. She uses her mother's surname but she doesn't fit in her school because she's mixed and rumors swirl around her and her aristocratic heritage.



Meanwhile, she becomes an equestrian, because she loved the Brighton's horse Alexandra. Edward learns Japanese and enters an exchange student scholarship to attend Lynn's school and meet her in hopes she will return to England. Lynn dreams of England, her family and friends and Arthur every day. Mary decides to go to Japan as well to torment Lynn, she and Edward had a pact, she, of course, breaks it, and tells Lynn that the money and letters stopped because both Sarah and her father are sick in Switzerland. Lynn is horrified. Edward treats her horribly too. Her Japnese friends stay close and her grandfather sends her a horse that looks like Alexandra named Victoria.

Letto, per la seconda volta presumo, nella speranza di mettere le zampe sull'intera serie.

Sempre shojo, ma non di quelli che leggo solitamente. C'è la piccola Lynn che, a cinque anni, abbandona il Giappone con la mamma per andare a vivere con il papà in Inghilterra. Poi la mamma e Lynn deve per forza rimanere là, anche se non conosce nessuno. Prima fa amicizia con la sorellastra Sarah, che non era proprio entusiasta di lei; poi con due vicini. Sarebbe tutto perfetto se non arrivasse la matrigna cattiva…

Non mi ricordo il cartone anche se potrei ancora cantare la sigla di Cristina D'Avena. Potrei anche leggermi tutta la serie. Giusto per vedere dove si andrà a parare.

Sudah pernah baca beberapa tahun yang lalu, tetapi belum pernah punya (yah, setidaknya, tidak lengkap koleksi, hanya punya beberapa nomor saja; nomor 2-4-7-9-11-12). Kini akhirnya punya LENGKAP! Didapat dari toko buku bekas online sih, tapi tak apa-apa, akhirnya berhasil ngumpulin juga. XD
Masih sama seperti pertama membaca, masih sama memikatnya! XD

Psst, aku suka manga karya Yoko Hanabusa, artworknya cakep! :D

Aku ingat. Dulu sekali pas umur delapan tahun, aku baca komik ini dan langsung suka.Ceritanya complicated. Tentang Rin, yang berdarah-campuran Jepang-Inggris mempunyai ayah yang ternyata adalah seorang pewaris bangsawan Inggris. Tentang Rin yang ternyata ditolah oleh Kakek Inggrisnya sendiri karena bukan berdarah bangsawan. Tentang Rin yang ingin menjadi seorang Lady yang anggun seperti Sarah.
