Midori Days (Day 1: Right Hand Girlfriend) :)

 

So this will be my first ever recap of an anime/manga. :D

Hope you guys will like this, though I think I'm not much of a recap person, I just want to share recaps from my favorite mangas/ animes that I've read, am reading, and will be reading. I won't make this introduction long. I'll start with Midori Days---this was aired I think when I was still in high school, but still, I love it all  the same--up until now. :D (Reminds me of a code name I used for someone. Haha. Ohwell. :D)

(A/N: All images and dialogues are owned by the author him/herself.)

Seiji Sawamura is the toughest student in his high school. His grades aren't very good because he fights more than he studies, but he tends to protect the weaker students from bullies. A few classmates idolize him; one (Midori Kasugano from a different school) shyly loves him from afar; but most are just afraid of him, which has made it impossible for him to find a girlfriend. In desperation, he says to himself that he will grow old with only his right hand as his companion — until one morning when he wakes up to find a living miniature of a girl in his right hand. TAKE NOTE:  not just any girl—Seiji's new appendage is none other than Midori! :)

 Will Seiji ever get his right hand back? More importantly, how will he carry out his daily activities? Will a love story blossom between these two completely different person? :)



Day 1: Right Hand Girlfriend

The first scene was of Midori at the train station, waiting for the train to arrive. And then we see her looking over at Seiji when the train arrives and he walks past her,, with her calling his name silently to herself.


We see Seiji in a secluded parking lot confronting a gang leader who holds his buddy as captive.. And ooof! the fight  begins between him and the gang members and of course, he wins, thanks to his "devil right hand". Awesome! (haha. yah right. :D Seiji gets to be the hero that he is. :P)

In the manga, there's this opening words from the the main character of the manga, Seiji Sawamura, talking to himself: What is it that every student needs in order to get through the grind of high school life? Is it sports? A good hobby? Those things are okay, but for me, there's something far more important--and that is---- a GIRLFRIEND. (:D)

We see him being rejected as he confesses his love for a girl. (Aww. Poor Seiji. :/)





And he is introduced as a character, a 17 year old junior high school student having no girlfriend for 17 years and 2 months to be exact. :D He also says that he has been turned down by girls 20 times straigh. Ouch. :D

 Its quite funny that everywhere he looks, he see couples anywhere--holding hands, smiling, with heart-shapes and doing couple-things. Haha.


He seems frustrated that up until now, he still doesn't have a girlfriend..

Just as he was being frustrated in his room for not having a girlfriend, a girl suddenly appeared on his right hand.


(Bwahaha! Talk about having a girl in your right hand sure would freak anyone out.:D)


Neither could come up with how Midori ended up as Seiji’s right hand. Midori then introduces herself as someone who's had a crush on him for the longest time,


 (It's quite adorable seeing Midori make an innocent confession and still manages to be cute at the same time, laughing to herself how she could even say those things. haha. :D)


                                          Seiji brought Midori to her place and was shocked at her huge mansion. Seiji rang the bell, pretending to be a friend of Midori but was quickly turned away by the maid, saying that the young mistress had left on urgent business.

Then, two girls claiming to be fans of Seiji approached his buddy aka bestfriend Miyahara. Miyahara,( excited much! :D hahaha. ) called seiji to tell him the good news---and Seiji went home that instant.

Seiji thought he hit the jackpot with the two girls that will be arriving soon--- he even invited the two girls in when they arrived, without Miyahara.  After a while, one of the girls asked to be excused to go to the washroom, and while the other girl distracted Seiji, the first girl tried to attack him from behind with a wooden sword. (Meanies! >_< )

Turns out that those girls are bitches, who are angry with Seiji because he beated up their boyfriends, and now they're seeking revenge.


Grr. >_< Those girls sure are nasty and meaaan!


Midori saw this and jumped out to block the attack, smashing the wooden sword in the process.

When Seiji realizes that its his right hand/ Midori that saved him from the hit, he ignores the girls momentarily and talks to his hand/Midori---but got no answer from her. Reality hit Seiji as he frantically tries to remove the bandage to see if Midori was ok, totally ignoring the two girls.

I love how he looks so worried because it shows that even though he's practically seen as a bully, he still has a soft spot in him. :)


Seiji was so worried and frustrated that he couldn't remove the bandage in his hands and see if Midori is alright so he picked up a knife, looking all scary, and scared the girls away. Seiji used the knife to remove the bandage and was glad that Midori was alright.

And.....

My favorite lines before the end of episode 1:

Remember when Seiji told Midori not to say a word and she promised she won't whatever happens? It's quite touching that even if Midori would get herself hurt for taking the hit, she didn't even say a single word. That's what made Seiji touched too. :) (Oh yeah. It's his first time feeling that someone---take note: a girl--shows a care for him and thus begins this conversation:

Midori: At least I kept my promise..

Seiji: Promise?

Midori: A word... I didn't say a word...

(The scene where Midori tells him that she's had a long-time crush on him flashes in his mind..)

Seiji: You know, I don't even know your name..

Midori: Midori. I'm Midori Kazukano.

Seiji: Look, Midori. From now on, if we're on a situation like that, you can break your promise. Speak up and let me know what's going on.

Midori: Uhm.. yeah...But what if somebody finds out?

Seiji: I don't care. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. No secret is worth keeping if it means somebody will get hurt especially a girl. Even if you're my right hand now, you're still a girl and I have to protect you. (Daaaaaang. :D )

Midori: (She's toooooched! :D Who wouldn't? haha.)  She squeals in delight and say "I LOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!" to Seiji. :)


And then we see Midori writing in her diary, summing up what happened for the day. :)



(Makes me remember my high school days, when I also kept a diary for 2 years, like what Midori is keeping track of---her moments with her crush. Haha. :D Now that I remember it, it just makes me laugh and smile, knowing how I used to get kilig easily. XD)


Ohwell. Done with episode 1! :)
