Shoujo Tsubaki ~ The Camelia Girl

In my opinion, the mass array of people that have recently learned of this manga through the most popular social media app, are greately misunderstanding Shoujo Tsubaki, Suehiro Maruo, and ero-guro as a genre in total. I believe this story works best and most beautifully when seen for what it is, and not as a subject that supposedly holds a deeper, more sinister meaning.

Shoujo Tsubaki is a perfect example of a tragicomedy - or a black comedy. The characters, part of a freakshow, naturally are witty, absurd, queer, sadomasochistic, and utterly strange. The story centers around Midori, a sweet ...

Meanwhile this movie is not a yaoi targeted towards yaoi fans in general but is a movie anyone could watch. It's just a movie with a sweet, same-sex relationship.

I've heard many things about this anime before watching it. Since I love a good coming-of-age story, I had quite a lot of hope for it, since most people that have seen it describe it as a masterpiece.
