Bonus points in that she's a queer shota. Cute Shotaro Boy: Young Isabella is absolutely adorable.Cooldown Hug: hilariously played with in Yukari's first meeting of Isabella and Arashi.Hilarious in Hindsight if you ever saw the Top Gear episode where Jeremy describes Jag owners as being "slightly caddish, but in a really likeable way" which fits George to a tee.It also seriously downplays Hiro's role in the story, to the point where they don't even show that Yukari married him in the end which is pretty important to the story even a scene with him straightening Arashi out about Miwako's feelings for him was changed to Arashi singing some song about how sorry he is for his treatment of her. Bowdlerize: The anime tries to present the breakup between Yukari and George as something really sad and unfortunate, while from the manga it's obvious that it was one of the best decisions she's ever made, as she would've ended up like his mother if they stayed together.Bi the Way: George may be a jerk and rather kinky, but he's by no means depraved and his bisexuality is handled pretty matter-of-factly.Bishie Sparkle: it earns stylist Seiji Kisaragi the nickname "Sparkling Alien".Big Fancy House: Isabella lives in a big fancy mansion, George lives in a big fancy appartment.Beautiful All Along: subverted, since the only makeover Yukari gets is trimming her bangs, and even before that she was a real beauty, she was just too busy studying to notice.Author Appeal: Ai Yazawa wanted to be a fashion designer before she became a mangaka.She seems to have accepted that it's not going to happen, though. All Love Is Unrequited: Isabella, towards George.Subverted in that Yukari still likes and respects him, and in the end she actually ends up marrying him and not George. And that was after Miwako chose Arashi over him. Yukari had a crush on him for a long time, until she met George and fell for him on the spot. Absurdly Youthful Mother: George's mom is still in her thirties.
PARADISE KISS SERIES
The series was adapted into a 12 episode anime series in 2005, which proved an excellent excuse for Yazawa to design a heap of all new outfits for the characters (Note that it lacks the manga's habit of having the characters share their knowing insights with the reader).
It can be seen as a deconstruction of the shoujo romance genre. Overall, it's an unconventional Josei manga with a cast of unusual characters, with the world of alternative fashion as a backdrop. This chance encounter shakes her dull and monotonous life, and thrusts her into a self-discovery journey and a passionate and rocky romance with George. Together, they form the Paradise Kiss ensemble. They proceed to kidnap take her to the Atelier, where she meets sweet and lovely Miwako and charismatic and handsome Johji George, fashion designer extraordinaire in the making. That is, until she meets punk rocker Arashi and stylish lady Isabella, who accost her and ask her to model the dress they're working on for the upcoming fashion show of their arts high school. It tells the story of Yukari Hayasaka, a high school senior whose life revolves solely around her studies and her upcoming university entrance exams. It's a sequel of sorts to her previous work Gokinjo Monogatari, with several characters from it making appearances and being relatives of the cast, but it can be read as stand-alone and has in fact been published in countries where Gokinjo has not been released. Paradise Kiss is a 5 volume Josei manga series by Ai Yazawa (of Nana fame) that ran in Zipper magazine from 2000 to 2004. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
