Kodomo
No Omocha is an extremely wacky and fun shoujo manga/anime created by
Miho Obana. The anime has
102 episodes, unfortunately only episode 1-24 have been fansubbed by
Geofront and Kodocha. The
manga ended with the total of ten volumes. The
series centered on the two main characters, Kurata Sana and Hayama Akito.
Kodomo No Omocha follows the life of two kids, Kurata Sana and Hayama
Akito. It's almost like a soap opera made for kids.
Throughout the course of ten volumes and 102 eps, we get to see how Sana
and Hayama started out as enemy, then friend, and finally become
lover. Some of you might have heard the expression “Marmalade Boy on
Acid” used on Kodomo No Omocha. I
personally don’t think so. While
the two main characters might have similarities in appearance, most
noticeably their hair colors, but here is where it ends.
However, I definitely agree Kodocha is on some kind of drugs. Sana Kurata, the main character, is an over-active, energetic, wacky, and sometimes dumb (not ditzy), 11 years old girl. Try to read the subtitles with her talking and you’ll know what I’m talking about. She is an actress on a show called Kodomo No Omocha (Child’s Toy) and go to school at the same time. The
series started off with Sana waking up late one day (it seems like
everyday) for school. Here
we have a glimpse of how insanely dysfunctional (which is definitely not
a bad thing in her case) her life at home is.
Her day at school was no different.
We meet the 11 years old Hayama Akito, the monkey boss (name
given by Sana), who is destined to be Sana’s arch rival.
While Sana wants to learn in class, Hayama disrupted the class in
every possible way he can. Of
course, not without the help from his monkey followers.
Hayama Akito is completely opposite of Sana.
Cool, calm, collective, smart, sinister, and a delinquent.
Sana, who is fed up with Hayama’s behavior, declared a war
against him. The war goes
on in an extremely funny fashions with Sana as the final victor at the
end. From then on, the relationship between those two changed. Kodomo
No Omocha is definitely a must see for those who appreciates a good
laugh and not annoyed by the fact it is a shoujo anime.
And for those who like dramatic scenes, I can tell you, Kodocha
has them, too.
