Sekine-kun No Koi (関根くんの恋) - Kawachi Haruka

Genre - Romance, Josei, Drama, Slice of Life

Status - Completed

Read - 32 Chapters / 32 Chapters

Sekine Keiichiro is man who is good at pretty much everything but nothing truly statisfies him, so he picks up knitting as he manages to establish relationships that he didn���t have before.

This is one of the first josei mangas I’ve read that has a man as the protagonist. I was a little worried that it would be off-putting because of this, but something about the story telling of this manga makes it perfectly exemplify the josei genre. Through this one-sit read, we see this autistic-coded man’s trauma taken lighly as many mens’ traumas are and see him slowly recover. I have read this manga multiple times. It’s one of my feel-good reads if I feel like having some emotion.

Overall

9/10

Not knowing the love interest’s age with her only being referred to as “young” by Sekine-kun is a bit uncomfortable to me, but both are adults.

[yestherdey]

Sekine's Love AKA A Gentleman Good At Knitting Is Not Good At Knitting The Love This is a redraw & altered panel of a manga from Sekine-kun No Koi by Kawachi Haruka. (What happened next in this scene was this dude cried so hard in bed after the girl refused to tell who her crush is, awwww) It's my all time favourite manga and wish to have anime or live action adaptation. The story is about an elite hunk Sekine Keiichiro who seems to aced dream achievement (tall & handsome, intelligent, great in sport & academic, loved by women) has come to a point of self-awareness that he posses none hobbies with a passion. Realizing the emptiness in him he then visits a shop to tryouts knitting where he meets a girl who changes his long time purposeless mindset.

sekine-kun no koi - kawachi haruka

overview: sekine-kun no koi is a josei romance that follows a male protagonist, sekine keiichiro (30), a successful and attractive salaryman who is a prisoner to his own passivity in life. he’s always been well-liked (mainly due to his good looks) and done well at everything he’s tried, but mostly just did what was expected or asked of him, including everything from being student council president and captain of sports teams in school, to dating people because they asked him and breaking up when they asked for that, too. he’s a miserable, hollow dude. in his quest for random hobbies trying to fill the void he’s identified in his life, he ends up in a handicrafts store to buy some yarn (and ends up taking stage magic lessons from a weird old man who owns the place) and gets to know the proprietor’s granddaughter, from whom he learns to knit and crochet, which he ends up being exceptionally talented at. it doesn’t really bring him any more joy than anything else he’s tried, but it keeps him busy and he’s great at it. however, meeting kisaragi sara, the aforementioned granddaughter and knitter, mixes his life up in ways that he absolutely does not and cannot understand. watch as he attempts to understand the first thing about other people or, moreover, about his own damn self. 

available in english? yeah, you should have no problem finding all 5 volumes of this

nsfw? yes, this manga features brief scenes of sex and nudity, though nothing prolonged or “explicit,” as it were

things i liked: this is by kawachi haruka, i had forgotten that i added it to my ‘to read’ list after finishing natsuyuki rendezvous (see my review of that as well, if you’re interested) and seeing the synopsis, until just today. it features that same clean, appealing art that i really love. i’m really in awe of this and how much i liked it. natsuyuki rendezvous i enjoyed for its uniqueness, but it didn’t really land with me in the same way that sekine-kun did, i’m so glad i came back to my list and saw this sitting in there. my chest just ached for sekine the entire time i was reading this, his particular brand of absolute helplessness really had me in knots for him. it was exactly the kind of emotional that gets me, which is the kind where you just watch someone go ‘is it really supposed to be this hard?’ the entire time, a question which i personally have been trying to answer my entire life. i vibed with sekine, and i loved him a little bit, too. when the characters in the manga talk about not being able to leave him alone because he’s so helpless and pathetic, i felt that. a really unusual and lovable protagonist. i mean a romance from the perspective of a 30 year old man is already a real rarity, which is why i earmarked this to read in the first place. sara is a good foil, bubbly and fun and friendly, but secretly sort of dysfunctional about this stuff too. she’s lovable and her frequent fuck-ups with regard to their relationship are never too egregious or irritating so as to be off-putting, but rather understandable, especially given that we have significantly less insight into her thought process than sekine’s. once again, my favorite thing, which is adult characters making reasonable adult decisions. which is not to say good decisions, just, you know, ones where you can follow the logic. this was so refreshing and different and genuine. 

things i didn’t like: this did run up against the very edge of my tolerance for misunderstanding and poor communication keeping people apart in romance comics over and over, where you’re just shrieking ‘if you would simply talk to one another’ at the page. ultimately it was worth sticking with, but it did try my patience a bit towards, oh, the fourth volume. i also really loathed the romantic rival who inserts himself at first (it just really feels like sekine is going to have enough problems all on his own without someone else trying to sabotage him), but he does kind of become more interesting when you find out about his circumstances. 

i would check this out if: you’re looking for a fresh and genuine and unusually emotional (i mean to say that it has an usual emotional feel to it, not that it is uncommonly emotional in and of itself, if that makes sense) josei romance. 

i would avoid this if: you don’t tolerate melancholy well, you are sensitive to scenes of coercive sexual content (not perpetrated by any of the main characters, but mild spoiler: some of sekine’s flashbacks of his early experiences are pretty troubling if you’re bothered by that kind of thing), you have even thinner patience than i do for romantic misunderstandings keeping people apart.

  Official Trailers

       Synopsis

Reach the top, and everything will be yours.

At the top of the tower exists everything in this world, and all of it can be yours.

You can become a god.

This is the story of the beginning and the end of Rachel, the girl who climbed the tower so she could see the stars, and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her.

  Characters and Cast

   Bam - Taichi Ichikawa (Seiji Maki in Bloom into You)

    Comments from Taichi Ichikawa:

I'm Ichikawa Taichi, the voice of Bam. The Bam I play is a pure and honest boy who is single-mindedly devoted to Rachel. I hope people watch over the powerless Bam as he grows over the course of the tower's tests with help from his friends. I hope fans of the original work and everyone else enjoys the series. The series gets more and more exciting with each episode, so be sure to watch until the end!

  Rachel - Saori Hayami (Sachi in Sword Art Online)

    Comments from Saori Hayami:

Though she appears cute at first glance, she carries all kinds of things inside her. Sometimes you may think she's showing kindness, but she's actually revealing her own desires.

  It was fun watching various characters speak with each other during recording. In addition to watching the actions of protagonist Bam's side, I hope people also pay close attention to Rachel's actions. Enjoy the series.

  Headon - Hochu Otsuka (Jiraiya in Naruto)

    Comments from Hochu Otsuka: 

At first, it felt like I'd been suddenly thrown into the work without really understanding his world view.

  Headon's actions were a mystery, his goals were a mystery, and even his appearance was a mystery.

  And the slight terror that played about his lips was truly mystifying.

However, for whatever reason, performing him was fun.

I love his type of character.

  Maybe having to grope around amidst the mysteries was a good thing.

For those who watch the anime, I hope you discover and enjoy the subtle mood that is a blend of joy and bewilderment.

  Anaak Jahad - Akira Sekine (Princess in Princess Principal)

    Bio:

The girl who wields "The Green April," one of the legendary "13 Month Series" weapons only bestowed upon the princesses by King Jahad.

Her lizard-like green skin and tail set her apart, and she is extremely physically capable.

  Comments from Akira Sekine:

I am Sekine Akira, and I play Anaak Jahad!

Despite being strong, she also has a weak side,

and though she's fierce, she also has a cute single-minded side to her.

I remember thinking she was a very charming girl when I read the original work!

How will she grow throughout the numerous encounters she has in the tower?

I hope everyone enjoys it!

  Endorsi Jahad - Rie Suegara (Tomie in Junji Ito Collection)

    Bio:  

One of the princesses of Jahad. Climbs the tower as a Regular.

Though she's an attractive and fashionable girl, she is also proud and strong-willed.

Of the Regulars climbing the tower together, she is exceptionally strong.

  Comments from Rie Suegara:

The character Endorsi Jahad is a touch sadistic (laugh). She loves to fan the flames… But maybe that's part of her plan. She's also a clever character who possesses a lot of delicacy. Due to how she was pushed around by fate, she was also forced to become stronger. That's the kind of girl she is.

  Yuri Jahad - Mariko Honda (Katsumi Nakase in STEINS;GATE)

    Bio:

One of the princesses of Jahad.

Possessing both top-class strength and experience, she has an extensive combat record as a "High Ranker," one who has reached the highest level of the tower.

She expresses an interest in the "Irregular" Bam who is not bound by the rules of the tower, and when Bam is forced into taking a harsh test immediately upon entering the tower, she lends him the legendary weapon "The Black March" granted to her by King Jahad.

  Comments from Mariko Honda:

I’m Honda Mariko, and I play the role of Yuri Jahad. The Yuri I play is a carefree and (physically) strong girl. She acts according to her instincts and is short-tempered and quick to anger. Which causes a lot of trouble for the character Evan who looks after her. Thank you for your work... Evan (laugh). The best part of Tower of God is all the characters bursting with uniqueness! Enjoy the show!

  Evan Endroch - Kazuyuki Okitsu (Serpico in Berserk)

    Bio:

Evan is a Navigator serving the Jahad royal family. He is very familiar with the construction of the tower. Okitsu Kazuyuki's Comments

Evan is a Navigator of the Tower at the mercy of a willful princess.

  Comments from Kazuyuki Okitsu:

Though his face is fairly gallant and masculine, he's actually very short. And his large backpack seems to contain something extraordinary... What a mysterious man!
 The TV anime "Tower of God!!"
 Expect great things from the youngsters facing the Tower of God!
 Huh? Is Evan a youngster??? Huh? Some of these aren't human?? In any case, don't miss it!!

  Hatz - Toshinari Fukamachi (Shūhei Yonezuka in Ao-chan Can't Study!)

    Bio:

Growing up under a father who taught him the warrior code, Hatz is a taciturn and cool dual-wielding warrior.

Fighting with swords that fly bother higher and lower than anyone else, among the Regulars with whom he climbs the tower, he boasts top-class fighting abilities.

Comments by Toshinari Fukamachi:

Hatz seems cool at first, but he conceals a quiet heat inside of him.

The boyish awkwardness he sometimes shows and the way he eventually gives in and aids his companions is heartwarming.

Pay close attention to his conviction and stylish sword-based fighting style as he continues to seek strength!

  Khun Aguero Agnes - Nobuhiko Okamoto (Bakugo in MHA, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist)

    Bio: 

Originally from the Khun family, one of the "10 Families." With strong combat capabilities, he is a strategist whose family's internal struggle for power tempered his strategic abilities and sharp mind.

He is the first friend Bam made inside the tower and one of the people he trusts most.

  Comments from Nobuhiko Okamoto:

He's smart. He's a strategist. It's a fun role that involves figuring out how to incorporate as much of his true meaning as possible while aloofly striking poses. I'd like to tell those who are about to watch the series to try to feel it rather than use their heads to comprehend it.

  Rak Wraithraiser - Kenta Miyake (All Might in My Hero Academia)

    Bio: 

A proud warrior bursting with confidence.

Having formed a team with Bam and Khun immediately upon meeting them, they are bound by a powerful bond.

Normally he is hot-headed and violent, but he also cares for his friends.

Nicknamed "gator."

Has a habit of calling others "___ turtle."

  Comments from Kenta Miyake:

In this series, I'm providing the voice for a big, strong, and loud giant gator named Rak. In "Tower of God," mysteries lead to more mysteries, and there are many mysteries and backgrounds that compel the characters to climb the tower, but the character Rak that I play is unrelated to any mysteries. He's a what-you-see-is-what-you-get, arrogant, powerful, loud, and sometimes cute character. Turtles, enjoy the show!

  Shibisu - Takuya Eguchi (Julius Euclius in Re:ZERO)

Bio: 

From the moment he enters the tower, he teams up with Anaak and Hatz to climb the tower as a "Regular."

Though his combat abilities are weak, he's an intellectual with keen powers of observation and is even smart enough to see through fellow intellectual Khun's strategy. Shibisu is a warm-hearted and genuine young man who always cares for his friends.

Comments from Takuya Eguchi:

The character Shibisu I play is frivolous and feels a bit underwhelming, but as he became cooler and cooler through his interactions with his companions, I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I hope other also pay close attention to his growth!

  Additional Info

  Tower of God started off as a popular comic on the WEBTOON platform, written and illustrated by SIU. Here's a message from the author that was released shortly after the anime was announced.

    Hello, 

  I am SIU, author and creator of “Tower of God.” When I was young, I imagined that in 2020, I would be able to wear shoes that would give me the ability to fly.

  It's currently 2020, and I may not have these flight-enabling shoes, but the webtoon I worked on for over 10 years on Naver, “Tower of God,” was finally given the chance to become a TV animation. I never would have imagined this to happen.

   I hope this animation gives everyone more joy than those flying shoes. I hope everyone enjoys this thrilling and exciting adventure with the few selected turtles from “Tower.”

  Thank you.
