Title (English) Yawara: A Fashionable Judo Girl

Title (Japanese) Yawara

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Genre(s): sports, judo, martial arts
Adapted from a manga.

Classification -

Synopsis Yawara's grandfather is a Judo champion who is determined that Yawara will follow in his footsteps. She's an ordinary high school girl with ordinary schoolgirl interests. Under her grandfather's tuition she becomes quite skilled at Judo, though she's not really interested in the sport.

Review Amusing series. One of the great sports anime. There is much scope for comic interest as Grandfather tries to keep Yawara training and away from boys, shopping etc. There is a lot of rather earthy humour, mostly to do with Yawara being a girl (do I have to spell this out for you?) The titles keep insisting that Yawara is cute. So who's arguing?
