Kodomo no Omocha or Kodocha for short is created by Obana Miho. It is translated to Child's Toy or Children's Toys, depending on if you take the singular or plural. It comes out in a manga series, an OVA, and a TV series. The story revolves around a junior high student named Sana Kurata who is also a child actress in Zenjiro's Kodomo no Omocha. She lives with her Mama and her manager, Rei Sagama (some others things included too, but I'll let you find out). Her first major crisis/mission starts at her school with Akito Hayama who is causing an uproar in class, but why aren't the teachers doing anything about it? AHHHHHH!!! But he is cute, isn't he. ^o^

I love the energy that Sana has as she drags you into her story. She can be funny one moment and serious the next. Obana does a wonderful job with the characters and the story. You will notice that Sana does become calmer as the story progress but it's a part of her growing up, learning about life & herself and refusing to give up. Also, the development in Hayama is beautiful to watch as he slowly lets Sana pull him out into a more forgiving world.
