To the orphans of Star Kids home, the Sunny, a broken down car, is their ray of hope. Unsure of whether they'll ever return to their families, these kids rely on their imagination to give them consolation. Taiyou Matsumoto captures the hardships of the many children at Star Kids home, each with their own ways of coping with their lives. White-haired Haruo uses the Sunny to escape into a fantasy where he's an outlaw on the run, mirroring his tendency to rebel to cope with his feelings of isolation. Sei, the bookworm, imagines driving in the Sunny towards his home and meeting up with his

read a tweet on father's day recommending this manga for people with broken home, im not exactly a 'broken home' kid nor have daddy complex (i have the opposite, i know... mom... lol)
but this manga really comforts me. the feeling of '1 second before your tears starts coming out' lingers on me for hours after reading this manga. i'm a big fan of the art, watched tekkonkinkreet too, i like it very much. i definitely can relate to some of the kids' stories. it's really amazing how the mangaka can depicts such details into the character stories. i definitely will reread this.

This story won’t be for everyone but I think the people that enjoy it will absolutely love it. It is essentially a slice of life, comedy, human drama, and it does each of these three things phenomenally.
Following the lives of the kids living at the Star Home Orphanage, who all were left by their parents due to various circumstances, this story delves very deep into almost every kids’ emotions and lives up to this point and you can really feel just how broken these kids are. There wasn’t one single character that I didn’t like, and many of them had a ton of charm ...

Artwork is very different.
Storyline is slice of life with different chapters focussing on different characters. It's an easy series to read and keeps you absorbed. Nothing that left a particularly strong impression on me though. Maybe because I'm from a different generation to the one it depicts. I only read it last year but couldn't remember what it was about until I re-read the synopsis on MAL and that brought back bits and pieces of the story back to me. I suppose the characters didn't resonate with me, and I didn't identify myself in any of them so I was detached. Anyway, still think it's worth ...

Taiyō Matsumoto has done it again. The realism that this manga can portray is extraordinary. The way each character is fleshed out, the way they act during certain situations is so realistic it’s almost as if the manga is a live adaptation itself. Especially with chapter 26 and the last two chapters.
Matsumoto didn’t come up with some grandiose plot that he was going to stick to when writing this manga, and it makes this story much more meaningful, he let his hand go free on the pages, which is hard ...

Truly lovely. These stories are so rich and the children are so tender...gentle, polite, brave, brash, foolish, silly, and hopeful, all at once. At times a bitter warning to adults that their choices have far-reaching implications, at times a reminder that to be young is to be filled with a capacity for anything and everything, irrespective of environment.
My favorites are Mr. Adachi, Sei, and Haruo. Of course the children are the stars but the adults at the home are truly commendable. Mr. Adachi is not cool or suave. He does not play a character; he isn't paternalistic or apathetic. He treats each child as a ...

Instantly became one of my favourite mangas, and I tend to reread it when I feel a certain way. Its been a while since I’ve read a manga so tearfully honest and heartbreaking with its stories about these foster kids living their lives knowing they’ve truly been abandoned. Although these characters aren’t real these are true feelings that any young person can feel especially real children who have felt alone.
Without saying anything too personal I sympathized with these kids as someone whose felt a disconnect with my own family, so although these characters aren’t real it was kind of validating to know that there’s ... |
