Resumo
Resine, a rich girl whose parents died in an accident, leaves her selfish relatives in order to attend the boarding school that her mother went to. Once there, she meets her roommate Simone, a blunt, rude troublemaker and the kind of girl Resine would rather do without knowing. However, she finds herself strangely drawn to Simone nonetheless, and the turns their relationship takes could be dangerous for them both.

Shiroi Heya no Futari review
1971, Japans first Yuri manga is published: Shiroi Heya no Futari.
Truly somethings that holds well on it's own, and started an entire genre of dramatic school lesbians in anime and manga. Couple of the white room is simple, short, and bittersweet. The dynamic between stereotypical blonde haired naive Resine and matured, sharp eyed Simone works perfectly for 80 pages. Very representative of it's time with it's highly stylized 70's shoujo trademarks: sparkling eyes, clean thick lines, decorative side panels, and existential melodramatic narrative. For something so short there is not much to nitpick other than it seeming inevitably weak to those used to the current state of 100+ chapter stories. Rather Shiroi Heya no Futari is here for it's legacy. Oh and also mad respect to queen Yamagashi Ryouko. |
Shiroi Heya no Futari review
Widely considered to be the first yuri manga, The Couple in the White Room was a defining work that helped to usher in wider acceptance of lesbian romances in the 1970s and 1980s. This story can easily be surmised as a dramatic tragedy in the spirit of theater classics like Romeo and Juliet.
The story follows Resine, a soft and feminine girl dealing with the tragic loss of her parents, and Simone, a rebellious and cruel young woman who bullies Resine when they first meet. The characters clash and eventually come together over shared loneliness, their drastically different personalities make them a striking pair, though their romance was difficult to believe, there is no part of it that is healthy. This manga was rough, the events in the story play out at a lightning-fast pace and barely have any development which isn’t unusual for the time in which it was written. The tragedy of the story is emblematic of the gay panic that unfortunately still plagues the LGBTQ community to this day. Resine feels anxious about her queer feelings toward the uncompromisingly honest Simone, and the way that the people around her view them. While undoubtedly groundbreaking for its time, the issues with pacing make this manga pale in comparison to more contemporary works. Even with its flaws, however, I still feel that it is worth a read as a manga classic. |
