Hoshi to Kuzu is a short, four volume shoujo high school romance manga with likable characters, little drama, and a happy ending.

If you want more than that, you're in the wrong place. But if that is the itch you are looking to scratch, then you've come to the right place.

The heroine here is a poor-but-driven (mostly driven to make money) girl who encounters love for the first time when she starts falling for a popular (but seemingly shallow... or is he really?) boy. They find themselves as vice president and president, respectively, of the student council... and if you don't see where this ... is going, you haven't read enough shoujo manga.

Is it horribly original? Heavens no. Is it jam-packed with action, comedy, or telenovela-style "my lover is actually my long-lost brother who murdered my beloved first husband, but not really because the husband actually isn't dead at all but living with my half-sister in Buenos Aires" drama? Not on your life.

It is full, however, of fun likable characters who meet, get into some minor antics, and fall in love with each other, eventually culminating in some hand-holding and (spoiler alert!) first-name calling action.

You've been warned.

I liked the fact this shoujo romance manga wasn’t including the “over the top”tropes like any typical school romance manga I’ve read. It’s good to see the female lead not really bothered by the fact by the president being good looking or popular but she focuses more on her future even if she is in a broken home where her father walked out on the family with debt to pay. The art was really nice too!

However I do wish the plot could make the whole story more interesting by adding more about the FL’s debt or the ML’s relationship with his nasty father. As well, ... the author could have added more of the other potential couples backstories in a way to make the other characters more in focus with the story too…

there aren't much to talk about really. But I'll try to write something out of this

story: 3
the premise was decent but the story progessiveness isn't there. Maybe they tried to make it a slice of life thing but the arc isn't apparent enough to distinguish each events from one another. Tbh, if you put in perspective, this whole thing happens in the spand of few weeks. The flow contribute none to creating the enviroment. All I see is as if the whole world revolves around the two main character

Art:7
it was good but I wouldn't praise it. Typical shoujo manga style you'll see absolutely ... everywhere. The reason why I like manga is because of the smallest hints of emotion better said than word are said through their faces but there aren't really any thing the art has shown for me to remotely feel what they feel

character:2
there is absolutely no progession rather than the point they extablished in the first chapter, and their feelings for eachother. The side character are dull and are just typical clyche(?) . It's as if their whole existence is to shove the main character "personality" into our face. Constancely repeating their traites doesn't make them what they aren't guys.
Our Mc has some redeemable quirk but it's just all based on her original premist being poor and all. People changes by interacting with others but it seems that all that changes is a few more blushes than normal.
