My review-
Story 7.5/10: The story is about a school girl, Yoshioka Futaba who isn't exactly fit in her surrounding and tries to change. She falls for a guy, Tanaka Kou in her high school who disappears from her life the next moment only to come back again after three years with the name Mabuchi Kou because of his parent's divorce. Both of their personalities changed now, although I feel that Yoshioka is pretty much the same. The main story involves the supporting roles of Kominato, Shuuko, Yuuri, Kikuchi (this name feels funny for some reason), Tanaka-sensei (Youichi) having their own love triangles to deal with. The story may not be all that unique or new but it is original (I am not much of a shoujo manga reader so don't know really). The role of Narumi is kind of unexpectedly expected...um...don't know how to put it.
Art 7/10- Okay...So I was reading another manga which wasn't of shoujo genre and there was a panel in there which mentioned the "bubbles" that are there in any shoujo manga. And I hate them. I did hate them in this manga but the good thing is their quantity isn't much! The art is really good otherwise
Character 8/10- The characters have their own distinguishing features which stands out the most for me in any manga or anime. The personality of Kou is cool and on the other hand Yoshioka is typically like any decent weird girl out there. Shuuko is the cool cold girl and her bluntness made her my favourite character in this manga
Tanaka-sensei and Kominato are such nice people :cuteeyes: Nothing to say about Kikuchi and Yuuri and others... They are average characters.
Enjoyment 9/10- It was fun to read this manga specially since it wasn't just filled with sweet romance and love thing but also with little bit of comedy and contains plot twist. It is really tragic at some point. I would also like to add that from sometime I tried to read shoujo manga but dropped them after maximum 20 chapter because I am not really into shoujo stuffs but I could complete this one because it wasn't boring over all...
Overall 9/10- I like this manga. Characters are good. Art isn't bad at all. Not boring although there was some point when it felt exaggerated. Story's theme is very common but it has been portrayed better. It contains the sort of confusion that maybe many girls actually feel. Sense of humour is good. Not a masterpiece but a good manga.
It's been a while since I typed so much and I wrote a proper review almost first time I guess. So forgive me if I made any mistakes and these are all just my views =) Thanks for reading. (If you are someone who is just reading the last line instead of the things written above this. High five mate).
