I've always loved Mizutani Fuuka's works ever since i read Lonely Sheep , Lonely Wolf. The stories just gives you this warm feeling inside when it comes to the love between same gender or age difference. All of Mizutani's works kinda gives the message that gender and age doesn't matter when it comes to love and you should definitely take the chance that is given. Game Over's main story is quite enjoyable and although the artwork is not extravagant, it matches perfectly with the setting of the stories. The sub stories are pretty interesting too XD

Please do give the author's other works a try too:
-Lonely ... Sheep, Lonely Wolf
-Like a Cinderalla

Story:

Game Over is an extremely light-hearted romance. No love rivals, backstories, or misunderstandings. The closest thing there is to drama is the main female lead, Akemi, being insecure; she thinks she's not good enough for Shouta, the male protagonist, because of their age difference. However, this only results in heart-warming moments as Shouta, being the smooth motherfucker he is, shows just how much he loves her whenever she feels insecure.

In the end, Game Over is a simple and cute love story about an adult who falls in love with a teenager. From that point on, we get to see Shouta mature and become a ... man who can stand on equal grounds with Akemi. Akemi, on the other hand, becomes more child-like and acts like any teenage girl would due to the growth of Shouta, physically and mentally. These changes in both characters just leads to even more sweet moments.

Art:

The art is nothing special. It's not bad, but it's not great either. It's as simple as that. The character designs could've been worse.

Character:

The story really only has 2 important characters, Akemi & Shouta. Our female protagonist, Akemi, is initially portrayed as calm & collected woman who thinks she can get the attention of any guy. When Shouta is introduced into her life, we find out, she's far from mature. She's quick to blush and doubts herself. She's simply a grown woman with more of an adorable side than a mature one. As for our male protagonist, he's a good guy. He doesn't hide the fact that he's dating Akemi. He lets people know he's dating someone much older than him. Furthermore, he's witty and has a teasing personality, but he never crosses any lines. All of his actions and comments are just friendly, funny, & sweet. We get to see Shouta bring out Akemi's flustered and red to the ear side. Last but not least, Shouta's always there for Akemi when she's down. He always knows exactly what to say and how to show how much she means to him. The relationship of Shouta & Akemi is nothing short of delightful and endearing.

Overall:

If you're in need of a romance, why don't you give this a try? There's no drama, you got likable characters, kisses, and a happy ending. What more could you want? Not to mention, the manga is only 5 chapters long, so just give it a shot.

A story short, but poignant.

This Manga don't play with fetishism, which is typical when talking of " odd couple". Especially in the perverse minds of the Japanese, I hope to seek their salvation.


I can't talk about a great character development or story when are only 5 chapters, but it shows since: " we met", some few problems in their relationship due to "complex" that drags, and the " happy ending ".

The characters are pleasant, if you look they superficially.

It's simple, if you don't want to waste time with what I just said, don't read this.
If this interested you, give a oportunity. It's not much time ... is" lost".
