Kodomo no Omocha
 Home/Change Series
Kodomo no Omocha is a series that I would have completely missed out on had it not been screened at the UCLA anime club. The Shoujo label and style would doubtless never have captured my eye. Fortunately, I was spared this unthinkable tragedy, as Kodocha – very unexpectedly – became the first series to be intensely favored by me since my original obsession with Gundam Wing.
Kodocha defies it’s categorization and boldly asserts itself in a league of it’s own. In spite of the shoujo bubbles and drama and love triangles, you just might not be able to handle it. The central characters are still pre-teens at the outset, but no angst-driven, hormone-ridden teenager could outdo them in passion and eccentricity.
Not your typical shoujo heroine, Sana is an eleven-year-old diva with more energy than a chipmunk on acid and a set of strong convictions that would rival most adult’s. She is completely unconcerned with her own blunderings, confident or insistent that she be accepted as-is, strengths and weaknesses alike. She is also absolutely uninterested in affairs of the heart, and preposterously spoiled and naïve.
Pair that with an intelligent, suicidal, sharply-apathetic sixth-grade delinquent and you have a one-of-a-kind product that is simultaneously one of the most outrageously hysterical and emotionally effecting stories to be found.
