Pink by Kyoko Okazaki Adult Manga 5 Stars Worthy
Reviewed by Teresita Blanco

Two weeks ago, I read the Pink Manga. This manga made Okazaki's career. Okazaki is like the chick version of Ozamu Tezuka. She revolutionized chick flick Mangas. Though she has the lovy, dovy themes, she also tackles other issues not typically displayed in Mangas. They had to develop a new kind of shoujo sub genre for her.

In any case, Pink is about a girl named Yumi. Yumi likes the color pink. Her entire room has pink stuff. In the day, Yumi had a blue collard job at an office. At night, she works as a call girl... They call her up and she goes to sleep with the costumer. Yumi does not mind the job. To her all jobs are in one way or another, a kind of prostitution.

Anyhow, Yumi has a very progressive view of the world. She is an independent woman who works hard for what she wants. And what does Yumi what? Yumi is only concerned with finding food for her cute crocodile pet. Her crocodile is already at the size  when he stops being cute. He represents her rogue mindset. She is a typical girl, with atypical habits. In a sense, her crock gives her life a purpose. Her mortal enemy is her stepmother.

They have been at odds since they met. They do not get along because of Yumi's independent thinking. Yumi does get along with her half sister. Her main romantic interest is her step mother's gigolo, aka a young aspiring writer. Overall, the manga has a sick sense of humor. Its bittersweet till the end. For a chick manga, it was really, really good. A sublime shoujo manga. Since its the story of a prostitute, readers should expect a few graphic scenes. Truly, Pink is a 5 stars worthy manga. I recommend it to all girls who like girly mangas.
