Minamoto-kun Monogatari (Minamoto-kun Monogatari, #2)

Product Information

Life isn't all easy for college student Terumi Minamoto. Imagine being a boy so pretty that strangers usually mistake you for a girl. Being that pretty must benefit Terumi a lot, right? That doesn't seem to be the case with him, though, as he is left severely scarred from his traumatic experiences caused by his middle school female

Note ~ For all the people who are concerned about the manga's length, it isn't actually that long. There are indeed more than 350 chapters, but all of the chapters are fairly short. Most of them can be read within only 5 minutes each. At least I did. After sleeping and/or meeting with 13 targets of the experiment, Kaoruko reveals to Terumi that she is the final 14th target and conducted the experiment not only to further her own research but primarily to enrich Terumi's life experiences as a tribute to Terumi's mother, Kirino, who Kaoruko was close to. Desiring to increase her status and reputation away from Konoe's influence, Kaoruko tells Terumi that she will be moving away to another university but will gift her apartment to her nephew, encouraging him to grow and develop without her influence. As a final erotic experience, Kaoruko and Terumi cross the line with each other and commit incestuous sexual intercourse with one another. One year later, Terumi and the targets have moved on with their lives, all better people for it, with Terumi desiring to become a researcher of Genji's Works upon graduating, following in his aunt's footsteps. The final scene of the story showcases Terumi drinking milk without any problems, signifying that he has overcome his trauma and fear towards milk, women and Tsukasa at long last.

Because of this, Terumi's middle school years were beset by bullying, spearheaded by the most popular and beautiful girl at the time, Chuujou Tsukasa, as an act of jealousy. Due to multiple acts of forcing Terumi to cross dress, as well as bathing him in sour milk, Terumi developed a fear of women and a hatred of milk due to the trauma. The long term consequence of this also resulted in Terumi never getting intimate with women during his high school years, finding even the act of talking with a woman awkward and painful. Just as he enters Shiun University and makes a promise to himself to overcome the trauma of his past, his father remarries and asks him to move out of the house. Terumi is arranged to live with his aunt, Kaoruko Fujiwara, for the time being. She is an extremely beautiful and talented young woman, who is also a non-tenured professor at his college. When he arrives at her apartment, she drags him into a special project in which he must seduce fourteen different women in the same fashion of the protagonist of The Tale of Genji.

On his first day, Terumi finds out that his aunt, Kaoruko Fujiwara, is a voluptuous beauty known to hate men. As a professor, her main research is on the classic work The Tale of Genji. After a more personal introduction, Kaoruko works out that Terumi has suffered greatly because of his looks. Sensing an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of her research, she offers to help him—starting with his fear of women. But when her methods include being "raised" into the perfect lover like Genji who had sex with 14 women, will he truly be cured by the end of his very own "Tale of Minamoto"?

Alternative Titles

Lastly, the ending of Minamoto-kun Monogatari is incredibly rushed. The manga just kind of ends. Terumi's relationship with some of the characters aren't properly established after 350+ chapters, for which a lot of readers, including me, were very dissatisfied with how the manga ended. Even how Terumi and Kaoruko's relationship came to its conclusion is presented very poorly, and when they are the main focus of the story, that's more than just concerning. will say but I find it pretty close to the art used in Clannad and other early 2000s manga and anime. Especially the women they are drawn with great details each quite a bit different from one another. Japanese Comic Ranking, October 21–27". Anime News Network. October 30, 2013 .
