I'll keep it sweet and simple, no matter whether your big on shoujo or not I recommend you check this one out.

The synopsis and the covers of this manga may look like your cliche shoujo manga, and whilst yes a chunk of it is that since it is obviously made with the intent of being a shoujo, I can tell you now that this manga has it's fair share of dark moments for what the main synopsis is described as.

"Hadashi de Bara wo Fume" is like fast-food: Easy, comforting tropes; but very, very toxic with unhealthy character patterns. Think normalized rape, abuse, gambling, and almost very nearly incest - all wrapped tidy and pretty within a sugar-coated fairytale.

The plot contained interesting elements - particularly the antagonist's psychosis which could have created an amazing psychological thriller (like Light from Death Note's psychopathy). It could have completely subverted the syrupy shoujo genre, except the author was superficially focused on what she liked best: fashion and faces (literally, the characters have great faces but awkwardly proportioned bodies).

It's an alright manga for some PG ...
