Midori Days
My dear sister bought back three volumes of this manga series and I kept asking her, "Are you sure there is only 3 volumes?" According to Wikipedia, there are eight volumes in total. But I only read three, which is enough for me. One more volume and I'll fall asleep with boredom.
Plot from Wikipedia
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—until one morning when he wakes to find a miniature Midori attached to where his right hand used to be.
Over the next two weeks the pair adapt to this sudden and forced closeness. Much mayhem, and some romance, ensue. Seiji does his best to hide Midori from other people; she wears a bandage around her head and pretends to be his injured hand. Midori frequently professes her love to Seiji (even wearing a dress she made and embroidered with "I ♥ Seiji"), but Seiji fails to notice, even as he frequently laments that he'll never find a girl who loves him.
The anime is shounen, with nudity and occasional (and lingering)[original research?] views of bare breasts. The connection between Midori and Seiji appears to be between her waist and his wrist, but it is never shown (he always wears long sleeves, and she usually wears a dress) nor explained. Midori's body seems to function normally; she sleeps, eats, and (it's hinted by Dr. Makinoha) her physiological needs are fulfilled using Seiji's excretory system.
The first thing I read was the author's note that says something about the manga being a love comedy that should be read leisurely without deep thinking. Then I started reading the first chapter. Immediately my brain started thinking. A life doll attached to the right hand that share the same body system as the person? Gosh, how is that even possible!
Yes, it's all fiction - 100% of them. Some fiction mangas actually make sense but Midori Days doesn't. It's too fictional. Anyhow, the mini stories were getting boring from Volume Two. I wouldn't want to read this manga unless I have nothing else better to read at home.
