Basic Info:
14 Volumes

"Tarō Yamada is smart, athletic, and very handsome. He seems perfect on the outside, but he's actually dirt poor due to his mother's reckless spending habits and his always-gone father. Although never once does he admit it, everyone at school thinks he is a very humble rich boy because of his good looks. However, at home, he must care for his six younger siblings, who share a one-bedroom place with him and his mother"
(From Wikipedia).

To be honest, it's been a really long time since I've read this manga so I can't really say anything about it other than it's one of Morinaga's older works (it spans 14 volumes long and ran from 1996 to 2000). It's funny in a way to see how Morinaga's art has changed since then. Her older style in this title mirrors that of the earlier chapters in "The Gorgeous Life of Strawberry-Chan" .

Like "Your and My Secret", there's also a Japanese show based off the manga (of the same name) that came out in the summer of 2007.

I have to admit that I'm suprised it hasn't been licenced in the U.S. as of yet. It's a popular series even with non-Japanese speaking fans. The manga must have also been enough of a hit to have a show made for it seven years later after its intial run. Here's to wishful thinking! *hint hint*
