[pertaining to the main story:Hotarubi no Mori e]
This is the most beautiful heartbreak I've ever read. Before going into detail, I want to warn the readers about some [spoilers] in this review. First of all, if you want to take a break from too much mushy shoujo mangas, I would recommend this. But I don't recommend it for the faint hearted.
So I was just chilling one day, lurking the myanimelist, when all of a sudden I came across this manga. I was like "oh so cool. I bet they're going to put a cliche at the end where she still

Hotarubi no Mori e is a collection of four stories. The famous and titular one that got adapted into movie, and other tree that you probably never heard about this. That is not surprising, as I have pretty much nothing to say about those first three. Uninteresting, of questionable point and way too little happen in them even for their short duration for me to comment on them more in this review. Getting the insignificant ones out of the way, ... |
