KODOCHA Sana Stage Volume 1 Miho Obana Books Reviews

"Kodocha" was one of the first manga I ever read, but it remains one of my favorites. The characters are my favorite thing about it, but the story and art are excellent too.

The main characters in "Kodocha" are Sana Kurata and Akito Hayama. Sana is a child actress. She is an energetic,cheerful, and sometimes dense, sixth grader. She wants everyone to be as happy as she is, so she tries to help people out. Akito is the class bully. He really seems like a jerk at first, but there's more to his personality than meets the eye.

The story is a little predictable, but it didn't make any difference to me. It was still just as sweet. Sana finally gets tired of Akito bullying her friends, so she decides to do something about it. But when she does, she finds out more about him than she wanted to know. You can see where this is going. But I really do love the romance in this manga. The characters are kids, so it's innocent. At first, they won't even admit to being friends, but they get each other through a lot of tough times. I think that's the purest kind of love there is. But now I'm rambling.

So, the art is really well done. It's shoujo style. The characters are very nice to look at. They have large expressive eyes, and there's a lot of attention to detail. The backgrounds are also nice. A lot of detail here, too.

If you're the kind of person who likes romance between rivals/friends, you're going to love "Kodocha". It's great for fans of romance in general, really. This one of the best shoujo titles out, there, you should really give it a look.
If you are thinking of buying this book, don't think anymore! Quit reading my review, and go buy it! If you are not too financially strapped, buy all of the others in the series, or at least a few more, because from the first volume it just gets better.
Okay, if you stuck around for some reason, I will explain to you why you should get Kodocha Sana's Stage. The standard explanation for the book is that it is about a hyper child actress named Kurata Sana, and her enemy, Hayama Akito. The heading on the back of the manga says, "comedy". I feel this is wrong, though, because Kodomo no Omocha (Child's Toy) is so much more than that.
Kodomo no Omocha is a story about relationships. That's its main focus. Relationships, between Sana and her mother, Sana and her manager, Sana and her friends, and of course, the main one, Sana and Akito. This is the only manga, by the way, that can make me cry and then, on the very next page, make me crack up. If you buy this book, you are making a commitment, because you will become addicted. Also, it goes on a wild roller coaster ride of emotions, particularly in books 9-10, which grow very serious and deal with big issues like depression. Don't be surprised if you find yourself a little down when Sana is, and on the top of the world when she is. It is especially gratifying, and somehow beautiful, to watch Akito grow and emerge with his emotions.
So don't be fooled by anything, not even the covers. This is a brilliant work of art, not just a manga, and in my opinion it is not even comparable to other manga, because it soars above the rest. Buy all ten volumes, and don't expect not to be on the edge of your seat at the end of each one. Even my review cannot do this series justice.
WHY ARE YOU STILL READING??? BUY IT!!!
3.5/5
I've watched a bit of the anime of Kodocha (and mostly because I'd watched AMV's of it, which made it look interesting, and still makes me intrigued), but I never finished it. And I knew that TokyoPop had published it, but I never really thought about reading it. But then I saw it at Powell's (because they have a bunch of them), and decided to get the first one, at kind of a spur of the moment because it sounded good. And I thought that there was probably more of a chance of me actually finishing it. And most of this volume was about the same as the first, or first couple (I can't remember), episodes of the anime.
So anyway, the main character, Sana, is a TV star, who also goes to school. She also doesn't seem to go by her script in interviews. But at school, where most of it takes place (since she's in middle school, I think?), her class never seems to learn anything, because the boys always cause a ruckus and make the classroom a mad house and bully the girls, while the girls are afraid to do anything, and the teacher is too timid to do anything about it. And apparently their teacher and the gym teacher, who apparently never has a class to teach because he's always dropping in, are having some kind of affair that Akito is blackmailing them about. (I don't really see what's so bad about them being together. I'm guessing that the school has a rule against it, or something? Also, it really bothers me that the teacher lets them do whatever and just cries about it, because that's very unrealistic. And that no one has done anything about the boys until Sana, who apparently didn't want to get involved, gets involved and fights back.) And Akito is Sana's personal enemy, as he opposes her until she blackmails him with a kind of ridiculous picture (but I guess they are middle schoolers...).
Most of it focuses on Sana fighting Akito, and then helping Akito with his terrible home life (which is terrible). Also, Akito's best friend Tsuyoshi, who's also timid, is very sweet and likes Sana. And I feel bad for Akito, and also don't really like him 'cause he's a jerk, but I'm expecting to warm up to him, since he's got that expressionless, leave-me-alone, wounded character to him.
Oh, and Sana's mom is pretty awesome. She's a crazy author, who's a bit sadistic to her editor, who also has a squirrel that lives in her hair. And Rei, Sana's manager and "gigolo", I like. I most remember him from the anime, and it's hinting that something it going to happen with him that Sana isn't going to like, but I think I already know what it is...
It's mostly stuff that I'd already seen in the anime, but since I haven't seen the anime in a while, it's mostly a refresher. I don't mind it, though. And while a bit of it is ridiculous to the point that it bothers me, I am enjoying it, and will be picking up the next one when I can.
The art is fine, but one thing that's bothering me is the little author's notes within the manga. Not the side panels, but that Obana with put in little comments during the manga. But that stuff usually bothers me, since it's unprofessional and takes me out of the story.
Oh, also, there were some extras at the end of the volume. The first one was about a dream that Sana had, that she's telling to Akito and Tsuyoshi. It's about Akito being a bee that infects people and turns them into bees, and Sana goes to fight him and turns into a bee and continues trying to defeat him after he deceives her. And so she's mad at Akito about it. I found it quite funny, especially seeing Akito as a big bee and attacking people while keeping expressionless. And the last extra are four little panel comics about Mariko (Sana's mom) and Maro (Mariko's squirrel), which are also very funny. I really liked these, and am looking forward to reading more in the volumes to come.
Fun Stuff!
It's a good anime. I would strongly suggest reading it or watching it. I thought it was adorable. the main character is slightly hyper, but it's really cute.
