Synopsis

While most girls desire popularity among boys, Futaba Yoshioka wants the exact opposite. After attracting many admirers back in middle school which resulted in her being shunned by her female classmates, she decided that high school will be her chance to revamp her image. Therefore, she starts acting unfeminine and indifferent to boys, allowing her to make some "friends" along the way.

Little does Futaba know, her life will take another drastic turn when her first love, Kou Mabuchi, returns after his sudden disappearance years ago in middle school. Despite his extended absence, the fond memories they shared together still linger in her mind, and she wishes to return to those days. But she realizes that the sweet, gentle boy of the past has completely vanished, and in his place stands someone cold and pessimistic. While he admits that her feelings for him back then were mutual, he warns that they can never go back to the past, as everything, including him, has changed.

Ao Haru Ride follows Futaba as she searches for true love and friendship, all while trying her best to stay true to herself.

After the anime got me hooked (watch it first) I had to read the the manga to know what will happen. Boy, was this a ride!
I didn't expect this manga to hit this gard tbh. I'm a grown woman now and just wanted some heart warming shojo. This manga made me feel a storm of different emotions. Soulcrushing , sometimes to the point where I was afraid to turn the page.
Yes, it dies have shojo tropes but it somehow felt realistic for the character to behave this way - although it made me angry. But that's how people are sometimes.

Mhm, there are so many fucking drama and the characters are so damn complex.

At the point where you start to question yourself. Despite this, there are some decent character development and a few scenes where your jaw just hangs, admiring the cute, wholesome moment.
The ending was ...

Ok first of all, I've seen the anime before reading the manga and I liked it. I enjoyed the anime a lot. I wanted more so curiosity lead me into reading it. At first it was alright but the more the story progressed the more it made me wish I didn't read it in the first place.

Story 4/10: The story was basically predictable. I feel like it was lacking. I've lost count of the number of misunderstandings that happened in this story because it was A LOT. Not to mention that the cliche in this manga does not help the story at all. I even ...
