This manga honestly took me by surprise. I'm not normally a fan of manga or anime like this, but I was surprised to find myself captivated by One Week Friends.
In a nutshell, One Week Friends is the story of a girl named Fujimiya Kaori, who loses all memories of her friends every week, and boy named Hase Yuuki, who decides to make friends with her every week, despite her forgetting all about him over and over.
Looking at that overview, I didn't expect the story to offer much, but boy was I wrong.
The manga kept me rooting for the characters the whole time, hoping beyond hope that by some miracle, Kaori wouldn't forget her friends, and that Yuuki would finally express his true feelings. The twists in the plot kept me eagerly awaiting the updates and for that reason alone, the manga is worth a shot. The reason I only gave the story a 7/10 is because between the exciting events and plot twists, not much really goes on, and often it takes a while for the story to pick up the pace. None the less, a good story line.
The art style certainly came across unique, almost pink and fluffy at times. However, it never failed to capture the 'dramatic' scenes, and for that reason an 8/10. I'd give it more points, but occasionally it came across as fairly basic, for that reason, only 8.
The characters fit in perfectly in this manga, all with different personalities and traits, as well as individual roles in the story. I like how the story doesn't always revolve around Kaori and Yuuki, but also involves their friends Shougo and Saki. 8/10.
Overall, I would recommend reading this manga, or at least giving it a shot. It's a true test of friendship, which will leave you crossing your fingers for the characters.
I hope this review helped :)
