Has anyone found a link to where to purchase the manga? There were 3 volumes made back in 2005...
I dont see it on Amazon Japan (maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot) **Edit** Found them on Amazon Japan http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4575830526/ref=pd_thx_sims_3?pf_rd_p=85608706&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_i=typ01&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_r=091EEGN80JB487ESZ9V7 http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4575830844/ref=pd_thx_sims_1?pf_rd_p=85608706&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_i=typ01&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_r=091EEGN80JB487ESZ9V7 http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4575831298/ref=pd_thx_sims_2?pf_rd_p=85608706&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_i=typ01&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_r=091EEGN80JB487ESZ9V7 |

Releasing a movie based on a manga about a pregnant prepubescent girl only a few months after a guy who raped children for a hobby got executed. I love Japan.

Interesting...it's kinda like the "7 minute abs" idea from There's Something About Mary. Next year, there will be an even more shocking story about a 9-year-old who gets pregnant, and her name will probably be Kokonoe. Now I'm just waiting for the manga about immaculate conception.

I want to read this as well. It seems like it could be a good story.

There are many girls who have their first period at 9, and huge number at 12 so is not as weird. Still is kind of sad to be pregnant that young... you are simply not prepared for maternity at that age in any way. The news article picked my curiosity. |

It could be that the little girl misheard the teacher and got confused, or perhaps the teacher is a person who thinks sex is wrong and to prevent the kids from doing anything stupid the teacher described them a situation where something bad may happen if you do such a thing, like; hair would grow in your palms if you touch yourself or you will get pregnant if you hug someone. Probably Haruna thought she was pregnant because of one of the descriptions she heard and the plot revolves around what she is going to do, then she learns about sex and understands she is not pregnant. (a story about naive children)
Well that is a possibility we will have to wait and see... or read |

Well, if you look at the manga covers you can see her pregnant and the final volume shows her holding a child. |

Well, the simple fact that some people here find it weird that an eleven years old girl could get pregnant shows that a lot of education and awareness on the topic is sorely needed.

If by "weird", you mean "I didn't think that was possible", then maybe. However, if by "weird" you mean "this is disturbing", then I'll have to disagree with you on that. |

Isn't this a little too adult to be adapted into a movie?

Obviously not. Have you heard about this movie called Juno. It's about a teenage girl who got pregnant and had a baby. It was really big in the U.S. Almost won an award or two, I hear. Yeah, Juno was a few years older, but my point is that if the subject is the girl coping with the coming baby, rather than the conception of the baby, there's the possibility for a good story that goes beyond shock value. |

Frankly I'm amazed that 11 year old kids can even 'figure it out,' because personally I was clueless at that age.

I can't imagine what possesses an 11 yr old to even think of performing sexual acts. Most girls I grew up with were grossed out when they first heard of sex. The more I read of middle schoolers having sex, the more I wonder what it is that's changing in the minds of children.
It's said that children are entering into puberty into a younger age now. (as well as dogs and cats--they go into their first heat about a month earlier than 15 years ago). Whether its due to growth hormones in food is debatable, but this is a topic that needs to be examined, not hidden in a closet and avoided. |

It's called the "internet" and a surprising number of 11 year olds use it. When I was 11 I had to hoard copies of the victoria secrets catalogs we'd get in the mail before my mom would throw them out.... Ah, technological progress! |
