Original Work:	Takemiya Keiko
Music:	Haneda Kentarou

* Based on the classic 1976 shoujo manga byTakemiya Keiko, one of the first shoujo titles to include shounen ai elements.

Marion is a young schoolboy who prides himself on his adherence to a philosophy he callsrationalism. Because of his disdain for emotional display, he ignores anything remotely akin to affection. But when he's entangled in a romantic affair with an older courtesan, his rationalism is revealed to be little more than a cover for his own emotional immaturity. Learning to love, Marion blossoms under his older lover's care but unfortunately, Marion has yet to learn the true price of the affair.

A true dramatic artistic feast and one of the highlight of early dark shoujo. Could be a bit disturbing if you dislike hint of shounen-ai. Otherwise an absolute must see!

content indicatorsThe content indicators branch is intended to be a less geographically specific tool than the `age rating` used by convention, for warning about things that might cause offence. Obviously there is still a degree of subjectivity involved, but hopefully it will prove useful for parents with delicate children, or children with delicate parents.

·nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS.Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam.*+

·sexSexual intercourse, the ultimate bond of love and the "Origin of the World" (just think of Gustave Courbet`s painting).*+

·violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt.*+

dynamicSome of the central structural elements in anime are Plot Continuity, Stereotype Characters and Plot Twists.

·castno description set

· ·male protagonistThis anime has a male protagonist.weightless

·character drivenThe main appeal of the show is the way the characters are portrayed and interact, focusing on dialogue, spending time together or getting to know each other. These anime are not "story-less" but story is secondary to character development and the characters themselves and what they experience.weightless

·storytellingno description set

· ·dialogue drivenA dialogue driven show has its story advanced by dialogue, with action being of much lower priority, and relies heavily on conversations between characters.weightless

elementsNext to Themes setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime, there are the more detailed plot Elements that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?". Is it violent Action, an awe-inspiring Adventure in a foreign place, the gripping life of a Detective, a slapstick Comedy, an Ecchi Harem anime, a SciFi epic, or some Fantasy travelling adventure?

·actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting.+

· ·gunfightsFights where two or more parties are firing guns at one another.+

·angstA feeling of general discomfort and uneasiness is present due to either trivial or more serious reasons, often accompanied by depression.Warning: may contain copious amounts of brooding and sighing.Etymology: "Angst" is a German word meaning fear or anxiety.*+

·European stylisedThe anime`s setting is crafted in some classic European style. Imagine an architectural and cultural mix of London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Prague, and other cities as they were at any point in the 19th century or earlier.weightless

·romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem.***

· ·age difference romanceA romance between individuals of significantly different ages is featured. Depending on how big the age gap is and on the society featured, that may be considered taboo.While the terms "lolicon" and "shotacon", often used in relation to anime and its fandom, are limited to a physical or erotic attraction to sexually precocious girls or boys respectively, this tag expands into platonic romances and other age ranges.weightless

· · ·older female younger maleThis tag indicates that this anime has a male and female lead, and the female is older. If the main cast is greater than two people, then the use of this tag would indicate a romantic relationship between those two.In case of harems it translates to:a) majority of the girls are older than the guyb) the lead girl (or her main rival) is older than the guyweightless

· ·forbidden loveThis anime contains characters pursuing a romantic interest that their parents, grandparents, the police, the fire department, the neighbourhood watch association and local politicians do not approve of.Potential relationships defined as such may be ones that are incestuous, violations of caste systems, or socially unsanctioned.weightless

· ·love polygonA love polygon refers to a romantic relationship involving n people. Although a love triangle is not limited to just heterosexual relationships, in anime, it usually deals with two females liking one male and vice versa.**

· ·shounen aiShounen Ai means boys love, and thus explores what happens when two boys (or men) fall in love. This is not to be mistaken for Yaoi which is (or, at least, how this term is often used by the western audience) a hentai genre. This is not; that means there is no graphical sex. The female version is Shoujo Ai.*

· ·unrequited loveAt least one character has a romantic interest in another one, but the feelings are not returned. This is the cornerstone of all love triangles or love polygons.+

· · ·unrequited shounen aiAt least one male character has a romantic or sexual interest in another male character, but the feelings are not returned.This can be because the recipient is oblivious, straight, or simply not interested.weightless

·sexual abuseSexual abuse is the act of one person forcing sexual activities upon another. Sexual abuse includes not only physical coercion and sexual assault, especially rape, but also psychological abuse, such as verbal sexual behaviour or stalking, including emotional manipulation.

· ·rapeRape means to force someone to engage in sexual interaction without their consent. If the rape is not successfully executed (both fellatio and penetration did not occur), tag with attempted rape instead.+

originno description set

·Japanese productionno description setweightless

original workWhat the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

·mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime.See also manhua and manhwa.weightless

settingThe setting describes in what time and place an anime takes place. To a certain extent it describes what you can expect from the world in the anime.

·placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.

· ·EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders.***

· · ·EuropeEurope is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia.***

· · · ·FranceFrance, officially the French Republic, is a country whose territory consists of metropolitan France in western Europe, as well as several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. The overseas territories include French Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.***

·timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.

· ·pastAnime that takes place in the past or clearly seems to take place in the past in case of an alternative universe. This category should almost always go together with one of its sub-categories, because the past can either be a depiction of a historical event(s) or not, in which case it would be alternative past.***

target audienceAnime, like everything else in the modern world, is targeted towards specific audiences, both implicitly by the creators and overtly by the marketing.

·shoujoIn the context of manga and associated media, shoujo, literally meaning "girl", refers to a female audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18.weightless

technical aspectsIt may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship. Such information can be found here.

·stand-alone movieYou can watch this movie without having to watch something else first. This tag should not used for sequels, side stories, or summary movies, but may be used if the movie is either the first anime in a franchise or a remake.The movie must be feature-length. For shorts, use the `short movie` tag. In general, a "show-in-show" would not qualify as standalone.weightless

themesThemes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges. Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.

·coming of ageIn the strict sense the Coming of age describes a young person`s transition from adolescence to adulthood. In anime the term is used in a more general sense where the protagonists have to face a challenge, make an important decision in their life, take on responsibility, or learn a lesson, and by overcoming these obstacles they reach a higher level of maturity.*

·deathDeath is the state of no longer being alive or the process of ceasing to be alive.

· ·suicideOne or several characters in this anime commit suicide.weightless

·family lifeno description set

· ·parental abandonmentIn Japan it is a common custom for parents to leave their children alone at home and embark on a lifelong trip around the world once they hit the tender age of 14, sometimes even earlier.*

·friendshipThe feeling of trust, kindness, and friendship between a group of high school students for example, is a central theme of this anime.+

· ·broken friendshipFor a broken friendship a group of three friends is a must, the break up can be caused by betrayal or death, a love triangle is also possible. The ghost of the old friendship will be the cause of many flashbacks and reminiscences. A dreaded face to face could be a major event or just used as plot device.weightless

·jealousyA character is jealous of another character either due to love, or power, or wealth.weightless

·rivalryQuite broadly used term describing a conflict, contest, struggle, or opposition of some sort.Typical examples: The mostly comedic rivalry for the love of a protagonist in a harem anime (love polygon), the more "mindless" battles between wannabe delinquents in a school fighting anime, or the struggle between good & evil in an epic conflict for world domination.+

·school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important.+

· ·boarding schoolno description set+

·sportsSports anime revolves around a recreational physical activity or skill. In addition they often adhere to certain genre conventions, the emphasis on training and practice in preparation for competition, characters desire for self improvement, and pursuit of a specific goal.+

· ·board gamesPeople here play a board game. It can vary from chess and Go, to Monopoly, to Dungeons and Dragons.+

· · ·chessChess is a game for two players. It is played on a square board, made of 64 smaller squares, with eight squares on each side. Each player starts with sixteen pieces (eight pawns, two each of knights, bishops, and rooks, and one king and queen). One player`s pieces are a light color, he is called "White", and the other player`s pieces are a dark color, he is called "Black".+
