As I was spending my student days alongside my beloved girlfriend, one day, she suddenly said goodbye to me. After becoming a shadow of my former self, I learned that she died after struggling with an illness. The diary I received from her family was filled with her happy memories with me.
The story starts with the death of Hikaru Mikado. That guy was a natural charmer, a “harem king”, but had no real male friends. After he died, he became a ghost, a soul, but Koremitsu Akagi can see him. Koremitsu though, isn’t really like Hikaru. His red hair and his evil-looking eyes make him look as a delinquent, even though he is very kind inside. Hikaru asks him a favour: he wants to fulfill a promise, which he couldn't fulfill anymore. The promise was to give his girlfriend and fiancée, Aoi Saotome, 7 gifts for her seventeenth birthday. Koremitsu accepts, and has to work hard to help fulfill Hikaru’s promise with Aoi.

The portrait of a girl in 60s -70s in Japan. Maria depicts the chaotic trajectory of a wealthy girl, whose family made a fortune in the after war. New arrival in a school of girls, Maria is independent and indomitable. She sleeps indifferently with girls or boys, and causes confusion among students as well as teachers, attracting fights and disasters. With Maria, the story of a teenager in 70's Japan, master Kazuo Kamimura tackles the taboos of his time. The excellence of its staging, the elegance of its line, serve wonderfully a striking, uncompromising writing. As with "Dosei Jidai", and in the image of the new wave, Kazuo Kamimura upsets the Japanese society and blows a new wind on the manga. Perhaps the most sultry of Kamimura titles.
