text: [[quoteright:278:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KodomoNoOmocha.jpg]]->''"What's wrong with being cute ''and'' bossy?"''-->-- '''Sana'''Despite her fame and her career, eccentric 11-year-old child actress Sana Kurata lives an almost normal life with her even-more-eccentric author mother, Misako Kurata, and her manager Rei Sagami. She even attends a public school, where she has many friends. But in school she comes into conflict with sullen, laconic Akito Hayama, de facto leader of the boys in her classroom. Akito holds some secret blackmail on two of the teachers, allowing him to get away with a great deal of misbehavior -- something which enrages Sana, especially when it disrupts the class. She vows to defeat Akito, and restore peace to the school. After several failures, she succeeds in beating Akito at his own game, but her victory over him is just the beginning of a surprising evolution of her relationship with the quiet, angry-seeming boy, as she discovers ''why'' is he so angry and starts trying to fix it...''Kodomo No Omocha'' ("Child's Toy", and frequently [[PortmanteauSeriesNickname contracted]] to "''Kodocha''") is a fun, entertaining {{shojo}} series that mixes comedy and drama in equal parts. It was created by Miho Obana and published in Shueisha's ''Ribon'' magazine from 1994 to 1998. It got adapted into an anime series in 1996 and run into 102 episodes, directed by Akitaro Daichi, who is better known nowadays for directing series like ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' and ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere''.Sana's irrepressible energy and rapid-fire dialogue is second only to Excel of ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' for its speed and outrageousness. (In fact, Excel's original North American voice actress, Creator/JessicaCalvello, once expressed an interest in voicing Sana in English.) But unlike Excel, Sana is a force to be reckoned with, despite her non sequiturs and baffling leaps of "logic". Possessed of an immense empathy and a willingness to help even someone she characterizes as her worst enemy, she plows through troubles and problems with a bold determination and a choice of skills from the acting school she attends. It has frequently been described as "''Manga/MarmaladeBoy'' [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on crack]]" due to Sana and Akito's superficial resemblance to Miki and Yuu.During 2005, Creator/FUNimation started to release licensed [=DVDs=] of the anime series in North America under its abbreviated title, "Kodocha". It is interesting to mention, that the dub of the first DVD had been censored heavily, but it stopped by the next releases. Additionally, the original opening credits from the first season were replaced with the second season ones because of legal pressures exerted by Johnny & Associates, the management behind TOKIO, the band who recorded the [[AnimeThemeSong opening]] "7 O'Clock News". Even the cameo of one of the members of the band was [[{{Bowdlerise}} bowdlerized]] in both English and Japanese tracks to keep any mention of the group out of the North American release. Due to licensing contracts and low sales of the series, the second season was never released and as of February 2012, Funimation [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes lost the license]] of the series.----!!This series provides examples of:* ADayInTheLimelight: A few filler anime episodes focus mostly on characters like Tsuyoshi and his little sister (Aono), Gomi (when his parents are forcing him to go to Kaimei High School), and Mami.* AbusiveParents: Volumes two and three heavily suggest that Tsuyoshi's dad is this. It's never brought up again, though, since his parents get divorced, and he moves away with his mom and his sister. Tsuyoshi's anger over [[BerserkButton people insulting his mother]], could possibly be related to DomesticAbuse, as well.* AscendedExtra: Given the nature of the animated adaptation, Mami, Gomi and some other characters (just like the MC of "Kodomo no Omocha" becoming [[TheDanza Zenjiro]]) get more time on screen and more CharacterDevelopment than their manga counterparts.* AdaptationDistillation: The anime took a different direction from the manga at the very beginning. That's clear if you compare the first chapter of the manga and the first episode of the anime. Some of the characters differ in personality, others get more developed and some of the events get very tamed in comparison to the manga's. Considering that the manga was a monthly series and it was still published in Japan at the time the anime was airing, the anime staff had little to work with while it was reaching its climax.* AdaptationExpansion: As a result of the above example, the anime had 102 episodes, meaning that some arcs were ridiculously expanded with filler, trying to make time between the events they were adapting from the manga.* AdultFear:** Misako Kurata originally didn't feel remorse about telling Sana that she was adopted when she was 5 years old, and that they made a promise to look for her biological mother, once they got famous in their own ways. However, after all those years, Misako got scared that the aforementioned woman would suddenly appear to take Sana away from her... or worse, that she would choose her.*** Rei doesn't even take the news with a grain of salt, either. Especially considering that he became an orphan at his late teens, and that he loves Sana as if she was his daughter and/or little sister.** Sana [[spoiler: getting the "Mannequin Disease" is terrifying considering that there are no physical but emotional symptoms related to it. And since there is no known cure, no one has to wonder why Misako went to the "The Mansion of Water" filming location when Sana suddenly fell into depression after Hayama told her he was dating Fuuka]].* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In Elementary School, every single one of the girls looked at Akito as if he was a bag worm or a hairy caterpillar... once he enters Middle School, everyone thinks he is acts ''cool'' (and "looked cute") when challenging professor Sengoku or went into a fight with Ishida. %%* AllLoveIsUnrequited* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Akito tries to confess that he likes Sana [[spoiler: on Christmas Eve, in the middle of their mid-birthday party. He ends up kissing ''her''. But she is [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to know what the kiss meant]].]]* AnimalMetaphor: "Natural enemies" Sana and Akito are represented as a mongoose and cobra, respectively.* AnimalMotifs: Whenever Akito is feeling mischievous (which is often), he gains a pair of ears and the tail of a cheetah. Sana's also referred to him as a "Lone Wolf" and "Monkey King", with appropriate {{Imagine Spot}}s for both, as well as imagined him as a baby chick.* AnimeThemeSong: The anime has two openings, "7 O'Clock News" by Tokio and "Ultra Relax" by Tomoe Shinohara.** "7 O'Clock News" is noticeable to even have short instrumental versions that were used on the [[OnTheNext next episode previews]] of the first sixteen episodes, which became [[BadExportForYou troublesome]] when Funimation licensed the anime in the US due to some problems with Tokio's management, replacing the opening with "[[DancingTheme Ultra Relax]]" for the rest of the first season and leaving the previews on mute.* ArtEvolution: It's mostly expected to happen especially since the series took 4 years to be published, but once you look at how the main characters appear in the future that ''Deep Clear'' presented (also released 10 years after the original ending), you start seeing how the art is even more cautiously detailed than it was originally.* AuthorAvatar: Miho Obana appears several times as cameo in the manga (even as a waking up-bird, a la Creator/AkiraToriyama) but often more frequently in the anime, only saying "I'm Obana". * BackStory:** There's a glimpse about how Rei ended working in the Kurata's household (from Sana's perspective), and the quick mention about how unlucky he was after his break-up with Asako.** Akito's bet to kiss a girl in kindergarten is explained when [[spoiler:Fuuka reveals that it was her whom he kissed, after they reencounter for the first time in years]].** There is a special chapter that details one of the most dear memories of Akito's childhood, while explaining why his cold personality is hard to break.* BerserkButton:** Akito can NOT stand be called "demon". Especially since it was how Natsumi started calling him after she [[MaternalDeathBlameTheChild blamed him]] for the death of their mother.** Tsuyoshi is not going to have [[UnstoppableRage second thoughts]] if someone insults his mother in front of him. Or even if someone insults or does something wrong to Aya.* BetaCouple: Aya and Tsuyoshi, at the very first moment they start dating. In the anime, Tsuyoshi even reccomends Akito to look at him and Aya, if he wants to succeed in confessing his love to [[spoiler:Sana]].* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tsuyoshi is a kind kid, and has a good (and often innocent) personality... However, he can be blinded with rage if someone activates his BerserkButton.%%* BigBallOfViolence: On a few occasions.* BigFancyHouse: The Kurata's household is expected to be big partially because of Misako's profits as an author. However, this gets expanded in the anime, where it's revealed that her parents are rich (they are owners of a hot springs resort) which also justifies the size of their house, too.* {{Bishonen}}: It's often mentioned in the series that Naozumi is a ''pretty'' and ''cute'' boy, and even Akito has fangirls (however, his personality is another whole story). Rei may count as well, especially when Sana first interacted with him, since she thought that he looked 'cute' even if he was a homeless young man.* BlatantLies: Miss Andoh manages to save face with the students by claiming her proficiency exam was all a ruse to get everyone to learn a lesson about friendship. And they buy it.%%* BlueWithShock* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: ** Sana often falls into the StraightMan role (even with her tsukkomi's [[WeaponOfChoice weapon]], a rubber hammer) with everyone when they do their own nonsenses.** Fuuka, being similar in Sana in some aspects (she is also from Osaka, where manzai comedy routines are more common), also falls into the StraightMan role... especially when Sana or Akito are around.* BonusMaterial: Several cases in both anime and manga.** Since the anime got canceled at episode 102, the epilogue is a bunch of non-continuity and AU segments from the series itself, and possibly acting as {{Sequel Hook}}s from some of the filler arcs they did. Examples, like a yakuza member wanting to marry Sana or Naozumi finding out his found-biological family went broke. ** Before even selling the DVD Box Sets, [[Creator/{{Funimation}} Funi]] released boxes to keep the [=DVDs=] safe with some other {{feelies}}.** The last edition (20th anniversary of Obana's career) of the DVD Box Sets in Japan (from 2010) contains additional material as bonus gifts and cases with new covers drawn by the author.** The final manga's volume in Japan contains several greetings messages from people such as Akitaro Daichi and even The Brilliant Green.** The manga's kanzenban edition got some extras included as the original color chapters' covers, clean illustrations from the Ribon covers and, at the end of the final volume, a sketch of Sana and Akito if they were High School students.** The Ribon magazines release bonus gifts to their buyers/subscribers; generally all the titles from the magazine receive their own gift treatment, so ''Kodocha'' was not an exception when it was being serialized.* BoyMeetsGirl: Sana's personality crashed with Akito's personality at school, at first. She starts to know him better. He gets her... [[spoiler:She loses him. He gets her again. She was ''too close'' to lose him again]].* BreakingTheFourthWall: Babbit does this mostly on the anime, but the manga has its moments too... sometimes.* BrickJoke: When Akito gives Sana her FirstKiss, a couple classmates on the background tell the audience that Akito gave his first kiss when he was a kindergartener, and when he admits it, they also add they had bet 10 yen each he couldn't do it. Halfway in the series, the girl he kissed as a kindergartener ([[spoiler:Fuuka]]) returns to Tokyo and slap him for that.* BrokeEpisode: More accurately, a broke filler mini-arc. Sana and her family get evicted and end up living at Misako's editor old appartment; not only that but Sana is blacklisted from doing most of her acting gigs.* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Mami never forgives Akito after he tries to ''drown her'' for calling him a demon, and when she learns about it Misako explicitly tells him it's his own fault for his abuse of her.* CerebusSyndrome: Just after Sana starts middle school and when she agrees to film "The Mansion of Water", things get really serious around her. This is more emphasized in the manga, rather in the anime where the content varies in some degrees. If you thought that Sana got it bad when the GeneHunting was going on, it becomes emotionally worse for her and everyone involved, as well.* CharacterDevelopment: For a shoujo comedy series, almost if not all the characters receive great development regarding their ambitions and how they eventually overcome their pasts.%%* CherryBlossoms * ChickMagnet:** Naozumi, a young {{bishonen}} who looks like a [[ButNotTooForeign foreigner]], who is also kind, is really popular with the girls.** Akito can count as well (he even chased away a fangirl!) if his cold personality wasn't such a turn-off (even in elementary school, the girls found him disgusting as a bagworm due to the mess he pulled there). [[spoiler: In ''Deep Clear'', his adult self is seen as such because the nurses who work in the clinic with him, think that he has a mysterious air but also a ''cool'' personality]].* ChildByRape: It's hinted to be the case in the manga [[spoiler:with Sana. Keiko gave birth to her when she was 13 or 14 years old and her dad was not only a much older man, but Keiko's uncle (although she claimed she loved him, this is sadly something child sexual assault victims convince themselves of to help them deal with the abuse, although it's ambiguous whether this was Obana's intention).]] In the anime, it's [[AdaptationDistillation rather the contrary]], [[spoiler: since it is implied that, yes, Keiko got pregnant when she was a teenager, but Sana's real father appears long after this event and he is apparently a good man, so it's questionable he could ''have'' raped Keiko]]. * ChildhoodFriends: Akito and Tsuyoshi have been friends since kindergarten, and they know each other too well, ever since. * ChristmasEpisode: Sana and Akito celebrate their mid-birthdays during Christmas Eve, with all their friends in Sana's house.* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: At the end of the manga, [[spoiler:Sana and Akito reunite Fuuka with her elementary school crush, Takaishi... and beyond the finale, during ''Deep Clear'''s timeline, Naozumi is [[BiTheWay dating a guy]] because according to him, if he was dating another girl, he wouldn't want to remember the love he had for Sana.]]* ContinuityCameo: Babbit may be an [[CanonForeigner anime-exclusive]] character, but it doesn't mean he is an outsider of the final volume's group character portrait cover.* CoolBigSis: Natsumi starts acting more as a caring older sister to Akito, after Sana helped them to overcome their family's issues. To a point where even Natsumi wants him to call her "sister". * CoolShades: As a way to commit himself to Sana, Rei sports a pair of sunglasses when he is working as her manager. Originally, it was also because Sana didn't want anyone to ever look at his "beautiful eyes".* CreatorCameo: Miho Obana often appears in the manga and anime as a passerby or an extra, sometimes even mumbling "I'm Obana".%%* CrossPoppingVeins* {{Crossover}}: ** There's an special crossover chapter drawn by Obana and Mihona Fujii (mangaka most known nowadays for her work ''[[Manga/SuperGals GALS!]]''). Counting as {{cameo}}, Erika Sakurai from the latter's work, ''Passion Girls'', also appeared in the series as well.** ''Deep Clear'' is a crossover special released for Obana's 20th anniversary of her career, with her ongoing series, ''Honey Bitter'', where the cast of ''Kodocha'' has an important plot role. * DancingTheme: Both openings offer a rhythmic choreography, but it's "Ultra Relax" the one that takes the cake. There's even a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOWCvFmyII MAD parody]]!* DeathByChildbirth: Koharu Hayama died right after she gave birth to Akito. Played for the melodrama, this badly traumatized Natsumi, who ends up abusing her brother and blames him for that fact for years.* DefeatMeansFriendship: Once Sana has the opportunity to blackmail Akito, she changes her mind and intends to help him to improve his family's situation. After this got resolved, this led up to both of them earning some respect to each other.* {{Diary}}: Sana keeps a diary as her mother encouraged her to write everything she goes through in it, since she was a child.* DistantFinale:** Mostly prominent in the manga where, some years after the melodramatic climax happens, [[spoiler:it offers a view on what Sana and her friends are doing before enrolling to High School, when Akito announces that he also returns to Japan to see her]].** ''Deep Clear'' also offers a more ''distant'' closure after these events, while also being a crossover special with ''Honey Bitter'', [[spoiler: giving an insight of a BabiesEverAfter ending for both Sana and Akito]].* DoggedNiceGuy:** Tsuyoshi felt as such to Sana, especially because he didn't know it was just for a misunderstanding he had from her affections.** Naozumi to Sana, as well. He thinks he is more capable to be with Sana initially because he shares the same career and they have a similar past; however, Sana only looks at him as a friend or as a brother, rather than just boyfriend material.** [[spoiler: Fuuka becomes the ''dogged nice girl'' to Akito after they start their relationship. She is similar to Sana in some aspects, but she is also different than her. However, once she realizes that there is a deep connection that Akito shares with Sana,]] she decides to end their relationship for her friends' own sake.* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The 2nd ED theme, "DAIJOU-BU", is sung by Babbit's voice actress, Tomoko Hikita (credited midway in the anime as "TOMO"). The song is often mentioned in the anime for the already [[BreakingTheFourthWall Fourth Wall breaker]] Babbit, too.* DrivesLikeCrazy:** Anime-only, Rei drives so slow even for a pedestrian's standard, until Sana commands him to go faster and/or until she unnerves him to do so. ** Misako drives a toycar inside their house, even without thinking in running over someone who crosses her path. * FirstKiss: This is the one that is pretty important for Sana and Akito's relationship, when they are in the middle of a school trip at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. Although [[spoiler:it wasn't a first for Akito]], the kiss is both surprising and terrifying for poor Sana.** And it brought [[HilarityEnsues hilarious results]] in the anime, as her reaction causes a good deal of traffic accidents, when they were at the top of one of the building's towers.* TheForeignSubtitle: Creator/{{Tokyopop}} released the manga as "Kodocha: Sana's Stage".* ForgottenFirstMeeting:** Sana and Naozumi met each other when the former was about to get adopted. It's justifiable, given that both of them were babies when this event happened.** Akito and Fuuka happened to know each other before she moved back to Tokyo. [[spoiler: That is because they went to kindergarten together. Then, in middle school, she starts remembering he was that ''Akki-chan'' who kissed her]].* FreudianExcuse: Akito's cold and violent personality is a result of the lack of communication that his family had at home. With a MissingMom and a workaholic father, things weren't easy either for him or his sister. Natsumi even often abused Akito and treated him as a "monster" because she resented him and put all the blame of their mother's death on him.* GangOfBullies: At the start of the series, there was a group of kids that gave a lot of trouble to their teacher (even using blackmail to treat her!) and some of their other classmates. Akito initially was the ''leader'' of this group, too.* GeckoEnding: Around the last quarter of the anime, the staff added an "America" Arc where [[spoiler:Sana goes to the US with Naozumi for an acting gig and she runs into an American version of Akito. At the end of it, they return to Japan, and while trying to adapt the rest of the subsequent events of the reveal that Akito and Fuuka are dating]], they also added lots of one-shot episodes unrelated to the manga but still foreshadowing the arc that leads to the climax of the series.* GeneHunting: An early major story arc involves Sana and her mother's hunt for her birth mother.* GenkiGirl: Sana is the most easy example. Fuuka could be considered but to a lesser extent.%%* GenreBlindness: Subverted.* GoodParents: There's Misako, and when he finally realizes what his home situation is really like, Akito's dad becomes one as well. In one episode where Akito is framed for shoplifting, his father gives a long speech about how he expects Akito to come forward with the truth on the situation. All Akito says is he didn't do it, and his father adamantly believes him just because he has that much faith in Akito.* GratuitousEnglish: Sana uses it quite a lot.* GreekChorus: Babbit, in the anime. %%* HandBehindHead* HappilyAdopted: Sana was found by Misako when she was only a baby, and she officially adopted her some time after that. Even though they both promised to do a GeneHunting for Sana's biological mother (and they successfully found her), Sana just couldn't go to her arms, because Misako was her one and only ''mama''. * HeadPet: Maro-chan, who is based on Obana's own pet, lives on Misako's extravagant hairdos.* HeroicBSOD: Sana has a couple of moments shown in the entire series that led up [[spoiler: to her emotional disorder, the "Mannequin Disease".]] ** When she was a child, not so long after Misako told her she was adopted. She returned from school with a bad grade, fearing that her mom wouldn't love her and that she would send her back to the OrphanageOfLove where she spent some time in. ** In middle school, while she is more prone to fall in depression like [[spoiler: when she found out Akito was dating Fuuka, it hit bottom when he told her that he was going overseas to get his arm cured, and since she wasn't used to be far away from one of her loved ones...]]%%* HumanHummingbird: Sana. ALL THE TIME in the anime.* HyperspaceMallet: Iconic squeaky mallets!* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Fuuka Matsui is a subversion of the trope. While she is obnoxiously hyper (though not any less than Sana, whose personality and accent say "generic Tokyo area native character"), she's quite clever and more astute than Sana. When she first appears, the rest of the characters briefly discuss the Osaka stereotypes (her KansaiRegionalAccent and the BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine).* IdolSinger: Anime-only. Sana has the opportunity to be in an idol unit along two other girls, when [[spoiler:one of Zenjiro's shows is cancelled.]]* ImprobableHairstyle: Misako Kurata purposely wanted to adopt some fun hairstyles because not long after [[spoiler:finding out she couldn't conceive, she thought that if she couldn't be a "normal woman" anymore, then she must had to start living as a "strange" one]] instead, overjoying and expressing herself. * IntergenerationalFriendship: Rei and Sana share a friendly-parental relationship even if he was hired originally just to be a nanny/guard/manager/"boyfriend". When Sana first met Rei, he was a College dropout, while she was just 9 years old.* InstantBandages: Too many to count, applied to people, cars, you name it.* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy:** Sana is the one who encouraged Rei to reunite with his old girlfriend, Asako. ** Naozumi eventually gives up his love pursuing for Sana, only to see her happy with the boy she truly loves.* JapaneseDelinquents: [[spoiler:Akito and Natsumi's parents were rebels back in their younger days... At some extent, this explains why Akito also shares some traits from their parents]].* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After everything that Akito had to go through his FreudianExcuse, he is found to have a heart of gold... even if he hasn't changed that much on the outside.* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Sana has a habit of forgetting unpleasant memories (and the people it involves) when she suffers from {{Heroic BSOD}}s.* LateForSchool: The first episode of the anime lampshades this so badly, when Sana wakes up late, she does her routine, and for her bad luck, Rei drives SO SLOW (until she freaks him out). Subverted when she is about to start her first day at middle school... [[spoiler: but it was AllJustADream, and she gets late to school, anyways]].* LikeBrotherAndSister: How Sana sees her relationship with Naozumi in the first place, even after [[spoiler:his love confession]].%%* LoomingSilhouetteOfRage* LoveAtFirstPunch: Sana ''very'' harshly calls Akito out on his blackmailing of Mitsuya-sensei and his treatment of Mami. Akito falls in love with her, predictably. Also a subversion, since the first girl who called him out was Sana's friend Mami... who committed the mistake of calling him "demon", not knowing it was his BerserkButton. That ended ''very'' badly.* LoveDodecahedron: ** At the start: Sana 'loved' Rei. Tsuyoshi liked Sana. Akito loved Sana. Rei 'loves' Sana as a sister or a daughter.** Later: Sana likes Akito. Naozumi loves Sana. Akito loves Sana. [[spoiler: Fuuka loves Akito. Sana loves Akito]].* {{Malaproper}}: Sana has a tendency to massacre proverbs, and so does Tsuyoshi when he's trying to impress her.* MarketBasedTitle:** In Italy, the series was renamed ''Rossana''.** Back in the day, when the manga series was licensed in Mexico, it was renamed as ''El Diario de Sana'' instead of "''El Juguete de los Niños''" (literal translation from "Kodomo no Omocha", and also the title it received in Spain), perhaps to avoid confusion with a similar named 80s telenovela called "''El Mundo de Juguete''".* MeaningfulName: Sana is named after her birthday, March (San) 7 ([[SevenIsNana Na]]).* TheMenInBlack: Subverted, Rei is a big softy, and the glasses are worn at Sana's behest because she thinks his "beautiful eyes" should remain hidden.* MerchandiseDriven: The anime series counted with Tomy (present-day known as Takara Tomy) as part of the production committee. Every single toy that Sana had (the Burucha and the Nopia, for example) was real. There should be noted that this line of toys didn't exist in the original manga itself. However, finding them in auction sites is way too difficult to do due the age the series has right now (more than 15 years old). The most valuable of them is probably the Polaroid Camera that was available as a series-related edition.* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: In the anime, Sana's grandmother. * MoodWhiplash: There are moments where you are not going to know if you are crying out of joy or because of the sadness. Or both. Sometimes, Sana's funny antics are going to balance the mood, but still...%%* MotionlessChin * MotorMouth: Sana's fast speech can only be compared to [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel]], where the subtitles can come in ''paragraphs'' in a short amount of time.* TheMovie: Though not exactly ''the movie'', ''Mizu no Yakata'', "The Mansion of Water", the movie that Sana, Naozumi and Asako were filming in the series was eventually released as a side story and a Drama CD. It's as dark as it was intended to be, too.* [[MustMakeHerLaugh Must Make Him Laugh]]: Sana always tries to make Akito laugh, or at the very least smile.* MyBelovedSmother: Exclusive on the anime. Misako's mother, Shizuka Kurata, is often trying to get her to take on the responsibilities of running the family hot springs. When this fails, Shizuka tries it on Sana. It doesn't work either.* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: ** Akito's sister has this reaction when [[spoiler: she sees the TV movie Sana and Asako were in that pretty blatantly parallels the situation with Akito's family, and she realizes just how horribly she treated Akito all these years. Akito's dad has a more subdued version of this.]]** Miss Andoh also has this reaction when she remembers that a teacher's job is to help the students understand their work, not enforce arbitrary grading, and realizes her proficiency test is making her look like a heartless monster.* {{Narrator}}: Both Babbit and Sana narrate at different points in the anime series.* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: This, of course, comes up with Zenjiro, since he's TheChewtoy and TheDanza.* NoFourthWall-->"This is supposed to be a {{shojo}} anime!"* TheNoseBleed: Sana's StalkerWithACrush, Ishida has chronic nosebleeds. Other characters too, though much less often. * ObliviousToLove: Due to Sana not completely understanding where "love" and "friendship" ends (and also because she originally though she loved Rei as her "boyfriend"), she can't really identify what is love unless someone tells their feelings for her directly.** However, Sana does recognize that her "love" for Rei, when she accepts that he must go on with his life (as he has a longtime girlfriend), was probably a PrecociousCrush.* OddFriendship: Akito and Tsuyoshi, as well as Akito and Sana. Both pairs also count as VitriolicBestBuds.* OppositesAttract: Akito and Sana are complete opposites of each other in regard of their personalities. Akito is more violent, serious, and perhaps he is more of a realist kid than the other children that appear in the series. Sana, however, is more energetic and an idealist. Both grew up in different situations, and yet, they both learned secret aspects from themselves...* OrphanageOfLove: The Kamura Institution, where Naozumi was raised, and Sana spent a while until she was officially adopted. Naozumi cares a lot for the institution, that he adopted "Kamura" as his last name, and he gives them part of his money's gainings.* OutOfTheInferno[=/=]UnflinchingWalk: After the house where "The Mansion of Water" was being filmed was burning, and Sana was still harmed from her leg... she manages to make her dramatic exit just in time (while the others were worried that Sana would die in there), and this ends up being the perfect scene of the movie.* OverprotectiveDad: After Sana stopped seeing Rei as her ''boyfriend'', he starts acting like a ''dad'' for her. To the extreme of being a bit overprotective to her. He doesn't like Akito, he tries to calm down the situation of Sana and her mom when her book was published. In the manga, it is more obvious, especially after he took so seriously his role as a manager and wanted to Sana to keep working, and when Akito became seriously harmed [[spoiler:after their classmate's attempted homicide-suicide, he really took a more ''parental'' role to her, declining an important gig for her, remembering that she was still a girl, because her dearly Akito was in that thin line between life and death]]. * PapaWolf: Rei, towards Sana.* ParentalAbandonment: Looks like Obana likes to play a lot of this in her series:** Sana was abandoned by her birth mother Keiko (who actually gave birth to her at age ''thirteen'', and in the manga [[spoiler: Sana's birth may have been product of sexual abuse]]), and the less said about her birth father the better [[spoiler: except in the anime, where he's actually a really nice guy]]. Her adoptive mother, Misako, is divorced from a parasitic money-leech. ** Akito's mother Koharu is dead and his father Fuyuki is so absorbed in his work that he never sees his children (though to his credit, he ''does'' try be a good dad once he and Natsumi get over themselves). ** Tsuyoshi's father is estranged from the family, and it's implied that he physically abused Tsuyoshi; might be the case why he reacts so strongly to people insulting his mother. ** Rei's parents died in an accident not so much long after he broke up with Asako. He thought they were rich... but they also had lots of money debts, resulting him to go homeless for a while.* {{Pilot}}: There was an OVA, produced by J.C. Staff, released in 1995. It's a little bit more closer to the manga, actually. But, compared to the actual anime series, it has not only different designs, but also a different voice cast, notably Creator/ChisaYokoyama as Sana and Creator/MegumiOgata as Akito. * PlaygroundSong: The "Drawing Sana" and "Drawing Babbit" song.* PoorCommunicationKills: The whole debacle of [[spoiler: rumors and gossip stating Sana and Naozumi are a couple while they film a movie. Not only does Akito decide to date Fuuka as sort of a rebound, but Sana gets physically assaulted by rabid Naozumi fans to the extent that they ''break her leg''. When Sana finally returns to school after shooting the movie ''none'' of her friends ask her about Naozumi. Including Akito. They all just assume she'll just talk about her relationship with them, but then they all get insulted when she ''doesn't''. Sana only finds out they believed the rumors when she feels left out in the middle of hanging out with two couples (Akito and Fuka, Tsuyoshi and Aya) and then they bring up Naozumi]].* PuppyDogEyes: The ''teacher'', Tanaka-sensei, pulls such pathetic PuppyDogEyes that Sana has to tell him to stop because he's gonna make her cry. * PuppyLove: It needs to be considered that, from the very start, Akito & Sana or Tsuyoshi & Aya (without forgetting about Naozumi & Sana, and Akito & Fuuka) are ''11-13-year old''-kids.%%* RainAura* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Misako actually hands out a few of these. She raised Sana with an even mix of independence and rules, and often never lets Sana back out of the consequences when she does something wrong. She delivered a subdued and absolutely ''scathing'' one to [[spoiler: Sana's birth mother Keiko over abandoning Sana when she was a baby, regardless of how young Keiko was at the time, followed by a slap in the face.]]* RecruitedFromTheGutter: Rei is literally begging on the streets when Sana finds him and brings him home with her to be her "boy toy" (of course, Sana has no idea what being a boy toy actually entails). After that he works he works for Sana's mother as Sana's combination manager/bodyguard/nanny/father figure.* RedOniBlueOni: Sana's Red to Akito's Blue. Akito's Red to Tsuyoshi's Blue.%%* RepeatCut * TheRival: A couple different pairs, fading in and out as relationships evolve.* RomanticFalseLead: Both Naozumi and Fuuka are pretty much textbook examples.* SadistTeacher: Mr. Sengoku is clearly built on hate toward his students when he gets introduced in the series. Akito becomes his favorite victim [[spoiler:(because he reminds him of a guy he knew in High School)]].** And it [[FromBadToWorse turns to worse]] when Akito reveals an embarrassing secret about him to the whole class, something he provoked him to do beforehand. He goes so far as to take Akito to the Teacher's Room not to talk to him BUT to punch him in the stomach. Then, he got him suspended when he fought back.** In the manga, things got ''very'' serious once [[spoiler:Kazuyuki Komori disappears]], since Sengoku does not trust in Akito and believes he is much of an evil abuser and bad student... and once [[spoiler:he loses function of his right hand]], Sengoku's actions get straight to abuse, humiliation and he takes advantage of the situation, [[spoiler:when in class, he ends up forcing Akito to write his group's lab work on the chalkboard with his left hand. And when he makes some progress, Sengoku forces him to do it again because he "can't understand it". The rest of the class watch this with so ''much'' discomfort (however, after Akito finished, he ends up grading it as ''right''[[note]]Circle marks or "Marujirushi" mean as "correct answers"[[/note]])]]. No wonder why, when Sana hears about this, she becomes absolutely pissed off to know ''why'' he did it.* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Works with both Akito/Sana and Naozumi/Sana.* SelectiveObliviousness: Sana becomes ''very'' brokenhearted when she hears that Akito is dating someone else. When someone explains the obvious, she tries to rationalize it away one last time.* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Tsuyoshi and Akito.* SexAsRiteOfPassage: Sana proposes to Akito to have sex as a way in which both could see each other as adults, [[spoiler: before he went overseas. When he agrees to do it, the mood gets ruined at the very moment that Sana proves to be too ticklish. Fortunately, Rei and Misako barge in before anything else can happen and Sana receives an earful from her mother about what a bad idea this was]].* SickeninglySweethearts: Tsuyoshi and Aya act as a completely [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweet-cute]] newlywed couple after they started dating.* {{Shojo}}* ShowWithinAShow: Also called ''Kodomo no Omocha'', it's actually based on a real Japanese TV show that sits 30 kids in a simulated schoolroom with a standup comedian as the "teacher"/emcee.** There's also the two movies that Sana is shown to star in (a family drama and a ghost story), a stage production of what looks like ''Theatre/{{Tosca}}'', and a mind-boggling number of television, print, and billboard ads.%%* {{Sneezing}}%%* SqueakyEyes* SternTeacher: Miss Andoh. Subverted in that, her original goal for becoming a teacher was to make children happy, but she started worrying more about arbitrary grading and enforcing the rules.* SugarAndIcePersonality: Akito.* SurprisePregnancy: [[spoiler: Sana's biological mother, Keiko, didn't even know she was pregnant until she gave to birth. She assumed she was being ill, and the pregnancy didn't show up either.]]* SunglassesAtNight: Rei always uses sunglasses everywhere because Sana told him to never remove them in public.* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In-universe example, when he believed that Sana and Naozumi were together, Akito dated Fuuka because, for a strange coincidence, she resembled Sana in both looks and character.%%* TheSweatDrop* ThemeNaming: Akito's MissingMom loved the seasons and everything about them, and named her children after the season they were born in. The "aki" in Akito is "autumn" and the "natsu" in Natsumi is "summer." This theme naming extends to the entire family: Akito's mother's name (Koharu) includes "haru" for "spring," and his father's name (Fuyuki) includes "fuyu" for winter.* TalkShow: Asako, besides being a quite profilic actress, has a talk show since the very beginning in the series. [[spoiler: Later, in the manga, after resting a bit of her TV actress career, Sana ends having a Phone-In Talk Show in radio.]]* TalkingAnimal: Babbit, though he acts as the GreekChorus and the tsukkomi of the series.* TeenPregnancy: Sana's birth mother Keiko was a teenager when she gave birth to her.* TooLongDidntDub: In a rather literal application of the trope, Tomomi Ayanohanamarukoji becomes Tomomi Ayano in the English dub. Additionally, many jokes, puns, and songs were re-written to [[{{Woolseyism}} function better]] in English.* TroubledButCute: Akito.* UndyingLoyalty: Rei to Sana in some ways, after she saved his life from being broke and homeless.* UnflinchingWalk: At the climax of the shooting of 'Mansion of Water', Sana walks out of the burning building literally ''seconds'' before it collapses behind her, without batting an eyelid or breaking character at all.* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Naozumi, who grew up in the same orphanage Sana was once in and has been carrying a torch for her. Though, as Sana was there for a very brief period of time, they never met in the orphanage. He was just told that she lived there once and it inspired him to become an actor and someday meet her. * UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: Akito and Sana.* YokoOhNo: Invoked InUniverse, when [[spoiler:Sana is attacked by Naozumi's fangirls due to them acting "very friendly" while filming "The Mansion of Water" (the rumors around the two during the shoot didn't help ''at all''). It was so bad, that they even break her leg!]]----

Sakura Taisen GB (Game Boy Color)
Published by
Developed by
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionThe first handheld Sakura Taisen game, released between the second and the third main ones, takes place in the original setting: the imperial capital in Japan of 1920s. It is the Taishou era, time of rapid technological development and acquaintance with Western lifestyle in Japan. Disguised as a group of actresses in the imperial theater, the Hanagumi Brigade consists of lovely ladies who are at the same time skilled fighters, able to pilot mechs, and to confront the forces of evil that threaten Japan. A new commander of Hanagumi arrives at the theater to work under the guidance of Ichiro Ogami, the main hero of the series. He leads the beautiful girls Sakura, Sumire, Honglan, and others into battle against demons.
As in most other games in the series, Sakura Taisen GB is a mixture of Japanese-style adventure with dating mechanics and tactical turn-based battles. The light RPG angle is also present, as the girls fight differently depending on how the protagonist treats them. Unlike other Sakura Taisen games, the battles here are entirely menu-driven. Also, the main plot is non-linear, and it is possible to reach fourteen different endings, which also include bad ones. The hero may even get thrown out of the theater for indecent behavior.
Alternate Titles
- "サクラ大戦GB 檄・花組入隊!" -- Japanese spelling
Part of the Following Groups
- Gameplay feature: Dating / Romance
- Sakura Taisen / Sakura Wars games
- Setting: Interwar
- Theme: Steampunk

In Formation
Gertrude was ready to quit the stage when Buzz entered the military, but there was an acting obligation in May. She starred in Old Friends, a premiere work produced, ironically, by Charles Frohman, Inc. His company had persisted long after his untimely passing. The play was by James Barrie, who had penned Peter Pan for Frohman in 1905. That same month, the dramatic film The Iron Heart was released to theaters. G er trude played the devoted (and suf fering) wife to a tyrannical nouveau riche factory owner. The owner is eventually given his comeuppance, after which his loyal wife welcomes the broken man with open arms.
Buzz wanted to go to France, and he had heard artillery service was the ticket. His goal was to be a commissioned officer. Buzz was one of two men selected for officer training in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. While down South he convinced the military brass that he was a bugler, a lie concocted to avoid the sweltering marching drills. Before Buzz played a rudimentary "Taps" one evening, a rowdy, lights-out pillow fight occurred in his barracks. He hadn't dressed yet, but he reached for his bugle. All of a sudden a bunch of his bunk mates pushed him out the door. There he stood, in nature's own, playing "Taps" for the company. He wasn't aware that he had an audience of one: the Officer of the Day. As the young enlistee turned on his points in a textbook military aboutface, he came face to face with his superior. A bare Buzz was escorted humiliatingly to the gatehouse, stopping briefly to nervously don his standard-issue bronze collar and tunic.
Persistence paid off. He got his wish and was sent by ship to France to the Saumur Artillery School. A rumor that the purser on board willingly accepted bribes made Buzz and a friend seek out his company. They wanted some of the officers' chow as an alternative to the standard-issue gruel and were willing to pay for it. The purser lifted what he could from the ship's cargo, supplying the boys with French staples: champagne,

So what? Macy's or another competitor could do a secondary and buy them out. At these levels, it's a terrific buy. They would also be acquiring a lot of valuable real estate. JCPENNEY is a well known brand.
Once that selling pressure comes to an end, JCP could see a nice pop and squeeze.

Shilpa Shukla and Shadab Kamal, lead actors of director Ajay Bahl's first feature film "B.A Pass", reiterate that they were in their comfort zone while shooting sex scenes in the film about male prostitution.
Shilpa, however, feels that getting into the skin of the character and delivering dialogues were comparatively more difficult for her.
"I think everybody will assume that shooting sex scenes must have been difficult, but I am an artist and if I you will ask me, I would say that I faced difficulty in delivering my dialogues," said "Chak De India" fame actress at a press conference here Monday.
For Shadab, who has been a theatre artist, it was nothing new and he says he was within his comfort zone.
"I think it was within my comfort zone. I don't see them as something that I learnt during the film. As an actor from theatre, this is something I learnt while acting on stage. You are given different kind of scenarios and scripts and you learn and grow as an actor," said debutant Shadab here.
"You realise this is life, we are just trying to replicate real life," he added.
The film, which has already travelled to several film festivals, is set for an Aug 2 release.

Sins of Wolves: The Safe Mountain series
Written by Destiny Blaine and Marc Alice
Published by Dark Hollows Press
In the mountains of Tennessee, there is only one safe place for pure young women to hide. To live there they must rebel against the new country's law and order and leave everything familiar behind. As they embrace an uncertain future, the women become the submissive mates to some of the most powerful Doms of our time.
Small town Tennessee is under siege. The Sins of Wolves, a local motorcycle gang, promises to protect the town while politicians vow to strip all innocent young women from their homes.
With an oath to protect the young, the MC arrives with one lone mission. They're not there to negotiate their terms. They're there to search and save.
They're looking for the confirmed. They want the condemned and chosen. And when they find them, they steal away with innocent women they fully intend to claim.
The Great Age of Innocence is upon us and for Sevier County locals the burning question is on the minds of many. Should families relinquish their loved ones to the national armies collecting young women to sell in an international sex trade or should they trust the MC and pray their daughters will eventually make it out of Safe Mountain alive!

Chuck considered the possible outcome and reminded himself of Molly's request. She'd never asked him to bring another woman into their bed, but she'd specifically asked if Romy could join them.
When Chuck didn't respond, Laurel asked, "How do you know about the Senator?"
"I put Levi and Duke on Molly. We kept surveillance on her while we had time to do a background check."
"And you came up with Senator Brighton, the very man who started trafficking our country's young women?" She stalked him. "Brighton is the one who started The Enchantment Movement across the globe. He's the reason people like you and me are slaughtered for harboring these young women in safe havens in order to keep them from being transported. What the hell were you thinking?"
"We didn't know who she was!"
The door slammed against the back wall and Romy walked in as if she had always owned the right to be in that very room. "But you know who she is now and still you want me to go to bed with her."
"It's the only way."
"You're agreeing with him?" Laurel's high soprano voice pitched an octave higher.
Romy shot Chuck a heated glance. "Sometimes you have to get in bed with the devil before you can raise a little hell."
And Don't Miss the Sins of Wolves Prequel, An Angel's Wings
An Angel's Wings is found in the Dear Santa: A Collection of Erotic Holiday Stories anthology, available now at Dark Hollows Press and all third party retail sites.
Jack scoured the area as far as the eye could see under the full moon's light. The solid white earth stretched before him with more tracks and prints. He slapped his hand next to what soon became his sample, using his fingers to predict measurements.
"Jack, what is it?" Martha called out to him from their porch, but he didn't have the heart to tell her of his suspicions.
His vision blurred. His eyes throbbed. It was like a drummer boy stood over him, beating his head like a worn-out drum. The noise became louder instead of softer as the vehicles raced down the mountain, drowning out that dull beat now pulsing in his ears.
Jack ran his fingers around the embedded paw shape, about twice the size of his hand. He rose to his feet and followed the trail, expecting to see a clear path straight into the forest. Instead, he stared out over an open field of freshly fallen snow.
His uncertainties left him to wonder about his child's bleak future. Had he protected his only daughter or had he thrown Romy to the wolves, to a pack of dogs just waiting to strip away her innocence, maybe even her life?
His daughter had slipped away with renegades, maybe even outright rogues. Now, she was out there somewhere, riding with bikers, with men who were considered dangerous. These men stood against the new laws and order of a country shaped by indecision and scandal. They were thought of as defectors and traitors, yet Jack had entrusted his daughter's life with them because the alternative guaranteed death and destruction wrought with horror and unknowns.
Sure, Romy faced an undetermined destiny, but given the alternative, she at least had hope. Under the cover of a dark, black night, Romy was headed for Safe Mountain, a legendary protective haven for innocent young women.
As a father, Jack prayed the place would live up to its name.

Featured Book: Queen's Quest, by Suz deMello
Just released from Ellora's Cave – you won't want to miss this one!
Queen's Quest by Suz deMello
Janus is a planet that lacks both tilt and spin. Shadowlands is the pewter band of dusk dividing the violently hot Lightside of the planet from its Darkside, which is imprisoned by eternal night. Birth rates on the planet are low and indiscriminate mating and ménage sex are encouraged.
Audryn, Queen of Shadow, has reached that time in her life when she must choose a King to rule with her or fail to bear an heir, casting not only her realm but all of Janus into chaos. Despite her duty, she is reluctant to share power, even a bit distrustful. Janus' nobles vie for Audryn's hand. Although she enjoys trysting with all her suitors, none seize her heart.
Then Storne, the warrior Prince of Darkness, arrives to claim her as his bride, and she finds she cannot resist his masterful ways.
Inside Scoop: This book contains lots of hot ménage action including a F/F/M scene.

I sent a message to Storne, the Prince of Darkness, requesting that he attend me toward the end of my toilette, and told Maia to prepare me with especial care for that evening's dinner. I sent out all other servants so I could speak with her privately about him.
As I reclined on a golden velvet settee, she shaved me, a bolster beneath my hips and my legs wide so my pussy was accessible. With quick, deft strokes of the razor, she cleared the curls from both sides of my delta, then from my labia, so the area 'round my clitoris was smooth. She then cleansed me with a damp cloth before massaging my sex flesh with lotion scented with soothing lavender and chamomile.
I raised my arms above my head, lifting my breasts so they crinkled in the cool air. Storne, I thought, and I tingled from head to toe. "What did you think of him?"
She did not ask me the subject of my question, but said, "I like him. He is direct and honest in his ways, and has the respect of his men." She fluffed a powderpuff between my thighs.
I sighed, my pussy throbbing. "How large is his…entourage?"
"Large enough, I trow. The DarkDwellers make dwarves of us all."
"I have a task for you."
Maia set the shaving implements on the sideboard, then turned to regard me with her fullest attention. I sat up and took a hairbrush, handing it to her. As she brushed, I talked.
"I do not wish the leaders of Darkness and Light to ever be alone together."
She paused, and the brush stilled. "I see your concern. If they join against Shadow, we would have no chance against their combined forces."
"Yes. We would be squeezed like an orange in a press, the life-giving juices extracted and the dry husk left to rot." Fear twisted deep in my belly.
The brushing resumed. "Kaldir strikes me as ignorant of statecraft."
"I agree. He may not have thought of such a strategy, but Storne…"
"Yes. I, also, believe it must have occurred to the Prince of Darkness. Storne is far too canny a warrior to allow this opportunity to pass unheeded."
"Or at least considered the possibilities. He has a reputation as a fine soldier."
The brushing concluded, she tugged at a bellpull. "I will make certain that Darkness and Light do not merge. But you must also do your part."
I smiled. "That will be my pleasure."
Several of my ladies entered, opening wardrobes and bringing out gowns for my inspection. Others braided my hair and pinned it to the top of my head like a crown while others rimmed my eyes with charcoal, pinkened my lips with a rose tint. With unaccustomed nerves, I dithered over my choices, wondering which dress or what color would most entice Storne. I finally said, "The rose pink, the one trimmed with gold lace." I felt overheated, and the gown was of thin, slick satin. Cooling, as in cooling my lust. I did not want to indulge in hasty actions with the Prince of Darkness.
I continued, "And high shoes. I do not wish to look like a dwarf."
Maia emitted a sharp bark of laughter as she found pink stockings, which were fastened above my knees with ruffled garters of golden lace. She draped a pink chemise over my head, which was followed by a matching corset, laced tightly to show my narrow waist and lift my breasts. I slid my feet into the heeled slippers, and as the satin gown was tossed over my head, I heard a door open, followed by the clatter of boots.
"Lord Storne." Maia's tone was respectful.
I shook my head free of the enveloping folds of lace and satin as she tugged the gown into place. "Good evening," I said.
"Audryn." Without being bidden, he approached. He reached for me, then stopped. "May I?"
"Y-yes." I did not know what he intended, but…
His smile transformed his angular face. He wrapped a big hand behind my neck. His grasp was firm, warm, the skin of his palm a little rough, from swordplay or riding, I imagined. I tried to breathe through a tight, nervous throat.
He kissed me full on the lips, rather than a chaste buss on my cheek, which would have been proper. Though he did not intrude his tongue, the contact was warm, vital and vigorous, hinting at the pleasure we could share.
As he withdrew, his gaze met mine, the gray eyes demanding, gentle and amused. How he packed so many emotions into one glance was a mystery to me. I told myself I was imagining more in his look than actually was there.
I had become infatuated by the Prince of Darkness swiftly…far too swiftly. That was bad. I could not make decisions affecting the history and welfare of my realm based on a passing fancy.
Maia bustled around me, fastening golden earbobs onto my lobes, bracelets on my wrists. Another lady laced my gown up the back. I was grateful for their presence, for the respite that the mundane tasks afforded; I could collect myself, regain my lost poise.
When I was dressed, Storne said, "Let's walk before dinner."
"Certainly." I donned long, pink satin gloves. Fingerless, they wouldn't impede me when eating or touching. Again, anxiety cramped me to the guts, but I laid a hand onto his elbow.
He had bathed from top to toe. Most of his dark mane hung loose, but the thick locks at each side of his face were braided, leaving his features, angular but pleasing, exposed. Amber and musk from the EastMarch scented his hair. He wore fine garments subdued in color: deep blue shot and trimmed with silver. The hue complemented his coloring. Hose of the same rich tone limned brawny legs. He was aware of Shadowland fashion, for his codpiece was large and embroidered with thick silver thread. His velvet doublet bore a design with the sacred oak and fiery mountain, traditional symbols of Darkside nobility, nature-worshippers all.
His gray eyes continued expressive, holding intelligence and humor, and his mouth was unexpectedly sensual. A fantasy image of his lips caressing my pussy drifted across my mind.
He led me through the palace with a sure step, showing no uncertainty. Our respective retinues followed. Behind me, the train of my gown swept the slates, but as it didn't have panniers or hoops, our bodies occasionally bumped as we walked. Each contact shot a scintillating trail of desire along my skin.
"Do you know your way? Where are we going?" I asked.
He cast me an amused glance. "I had a free hour to explore your castle. It is an admirable stronghold."
He took me to the same terrace where I'd so joyously given my virginity on my Exhibition Day. When our servants attempted to follow, I said, "It's all right. There are plenty of people below."
True enough; down on the lawns, tearing apart the sod, a herd of magnificent taqqa milled and stamped, huge animals with shaggy ochre-colored pelts, massive humped shoulders and curved horns, themselves long, sharp weapons. Some of the beasts were mounted by armored warriors almost as big as Storne, while the rest were laden. Servants, both Shadowlanders and Darksiders, busily unloaded and stacked boxes, baskets, trunks, rugs and portmanteaux. That our people worked together amicably was not lost on me.
"For you," Storne said.
I stared at him.
My eyes widened. "You owe me no tribute, and you cannot buy me."
"No, but I see that I must woo you." That smile again, so unexpected from such a solemn mien. "I am but a rough warrior, but I wish to be your rough warrior."
Pleasure robbed me of speech. I was touched by his courtliness, so at odds with his earlier arrogance. And he was an astute judge of character. He had taken my measure immediately and adjusted his approach. He had also come prepared for any eventuality.
He took out a small pouch from a hidden pocket in his doublet. "My first gift to you."
My face felt too small for my smile. "Thank you." Excited, I reached for the red satin bag, hoping it contained jewelry. Darkside boasted a wealth of minerals and gems, and its artisans excelled in the craft of jewelry design.
He pulled it out of my reach. "Let me show you. Rumor tells me that women of the Shadowlands enjoy this kind of gift, and I will enjoy knowing that you wear it." He tugged apart the drawstring at the pouch's top and upended it above his cupped palm. A stream of molten gold spilled forth, resolving into a fine chain, nearly three feet long.
Puzzled, I took it out of his hand and held it up to examine it by the light of the torches lining the marble terrace. The chain had little scissor-like appendages at each end, each maybe the size of my thumbnail. The scissors had curved blades that weren't sharp but were lined with tiny seed pearls, leaving a circular gap in the center perhaps the size of a baby pea. The ends were curlicued to wrap around each other.
I raised my brows at Storne.
"Allow me." But he didn't take the chain, instead reaching for my bodice.
I gasped and pulled away. "Sir, you presume too much."
"Do I?" He paced the length of the terrace, then returned. "Audryn, there is only one sure test of our ability to rule together, and this mating is a radical step neither of us can take without some…experimentation. I know you approach your seventeenth starturn, and you have sworn to crown your king on that day."
My jaw tightened. "Your spies are most effective."
"Thus, time grows short. Please." He reached for me again, and this time I did not resist. He was right; besides, I wanted him to touch me intimately. Though his hands were rough, he handled my breasts with tenderness, lifting them above the gown and away from the corset's confinement, resting them atop my lace-trimmed neckline. Cool air washed my breasts, a delightful sensation. My nipples wrinkled. He passed a hand over the mounded flesh, traced one curved pink aureole's edge. Need flared through me, and my pussy dampened anew.
He smiled. "I suppose that I will have to learn to enjoy the public sex that your customs demand. And I may as well begin…now." He slid an arm around me and bent his head to kiss first one nipple and then the other, licking around the aureole, sucking to lengthen the tips until they were hard and distended.
He gripped my left one between his teeth and gave it a sharp little nip. I gasped, "Storne!"
"Did that hurt?"
"A little."
He rubbed his lips over the tiny pain he'd caused, and the sting dissolved into a haze of pleasure. He took one of the scissorlike appendages and opened the clasp, then closed it around my swollen nipple.
The tiny pearls gripped the very tip of my breast, lighting a spark of need that zipped to my pussy. I rested my face against his chest, breathing deeply in a vain attempt to control my reaction. I felt heat in my cheeks and the softness of his velvet doublet, my pulsing clit…an array of dizzying sensations.
He dropped the chain, and the slight weight tugging on my nipple built my pussy's spark into a fire. He lifted my right breast higher and pinched my nipple, kissed and licked the tip. When it also swelled, he fastened the other clip to it. The fire roared into a blaze, and I grabbed his shoulders, flinging back my head. He laid a trail of kisses across my bare chest, up to my throat, along my jawline before he reached my lips.
This time, he took my mouth with a commanding kiss, holding me so tightly that I could feel the embroidery on his doublet abrade my naked breasts. My captured nipples rubbed across velvet, scraped across silver thread. I tore my lips away from his and I cried out, heedless of the warriors and servants below. I cared for nothing but the man who held me in his arms, who had claimed me when he chained my breasts, took my mouth.

is right.

havent yet, but i like that its made in the USA.
putting the pi back in pirate!

why not just get a Euro-Asia or Dura-Ace one for about the same price. Ben's Cycle was pretty nice to me when I went there, and I've heard that these cogs along with their hubs are from another company, but just re-branded.
I've only got about 6-miles on mine (installed it later last week). Will start 20-miles per day on the commuter this week. Looks just-OK so far.
"Where you come from is gone;
where you are headed weren't never there;
and where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it."
Made in the USA?
Hurry now before they jack up the price!
they're actually made in taiwan. i emailed them to ask who manufactured them, and they said "a reputable taiwanese company".Originally Posted by spud
even though I would not give them dollar 1, to their credit, they changed the "NJS Certified" claim on their doublestraps when it was brought to their attention.
i thought it said hub...they have their own brand of hub now. that's what i was talking about. the post says cog though...nevermind.
yeah, but the cogs are emblazoned with "MADE IN USA"Originally Posted by [165]
he was talking about a HUB, NOT the COG. i would hope they wouldn't go so far as to print made in usa on something the made in taiwan. i think editing his post may clear up a lot of confusion.Originally Posted by braingel
I wouldn't kick it out of bed. But shipping sucks. $6 for a cog?

Where do you find Dura-Ace or EAI cogs for $20? I've never
seen an EAI for less than around $29, and that's usually pretty
I'm sure it's a re-branded something, but I don't see that as
a reason not to buy it.
Yes, upon closer inspection the flange cutouts are totally different than the formulas. It looks like they will be offering them in black, red, blue, green and gold anodized versions too. The potential Deep V - hub color combinations just increased exponentially.Originally Posted by mattface
$30 to anodize a $70 set of hubs seems steep to me. Maybe the SF crowd will pay a 50% premium for color matching, but I've got no problem with running black or silver hubs.Originally Posted by bonelesschicken
i got my EAI cog for around 22 when i went to ben's cycle. the guy gave me a discount since i bought a new wheelset.
I ebayed stuff from Ben's last year, and when it didn't show up they flat out refused to help me track my order down. Though my part of the country sometimes seems to be the black hole of the USPS, Ben's really let me down. It was one of the last online parts purchases I made.
It sounds like a lot of other people had good experiences though.
After two-days of commute plus some tooling about (about 60 miles), I like the cog FWIW. Its quiter than my old one...which was an EAI actually.
"Where you come from is gone;
where you are headed weren't never there;
and where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it."
maybe a lil off track, but i've been riding on the hubs, and they ride pretty sweet and buttery.
True dat, but IRO charges $5. Shipping sucks everywhere these days, but you'd think that you could throw a cog in a cardboard envelope ($0.50?) and ship it first class for a buck or two.Originally Posted by Aeroplane
I think it is safe to assume that nothing is made in the USA unless you are paying through the nose for very small level producers.
what would motivate this purchase? That you wore out your old cog? That what you really needed was a sillier gearing?
Buy less, make more.
that's what business cycles does.Originally Posted by eaglevii
What would motivate this purchase.. Uhh.. because IOriginally Posted by RedDeMartini
need a new cog for my track bike...? Yeah, that's a
good answer!

I don't know what to say besides the fact that Botonics have been wonderful to me in making me achieve my new body. I just had my one month op assessment today and the transformation is NOTICEABLE. I have have felt really out of place with my body for a couple years now which has made my self- esteem drop drastically. I decide to have fat transfer to the buttocks to help enhance my body figure and to get my butt looking more fuller. I still need to wait a couple of months for the swelling to go down and see my desired new figure but already one month in and I'm showing off to the world. the cost, and talk through of the whole procedure went well and I felt more confident talking to Dr. Nurein. He was fabulous and amazing through it all. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND BOTONICS TO EVERYONE INTERESTED IN THIS PROCEDURE. THANK YOU BOTONICS.

Black lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse have come up with a list of things they want the legislature to accomplish to improve the lives of African American Ohioans.
Democratic State Representative Alicia Reece says the fact is African American Ohioans are not doing as well as others in the Buckeye State.
Reece: "In Ohio, the poverty rate of African Americans is 34. 9 percent. We've heard a lot about Ohio turning around and the unemployment rate is only 6.5%, but when it comes to African Americans, the unemployment rate is above 14%, with the unemployment rate for African American males being 16%. In the area of health care, African Americans are 80% more likely to be uninsured than white adults."
The Ohio Legislative Black Caucus wants Ohio lawmakers to pass bills that outlaw credit checks for determining employment, make it easier for ex-offenders to get jobs and work to pass a constitutional amendment requiring pre-kindergarten for every four and five year old in Ohio.
The group also wants lawmakers to pass a bill that they say would make it easier for Ohioans to vote.
