I originally wrote this review for the light novel, but since this manga adaptation continues to be very faithful, I would like to leave it as a form of recommendation to anyone who wants to.

It is from the perspectives of Adachi and Shimamura, two friends who met at the start of the high school year. The first volume starts about a month after that. The premise is relatively simple but the way it is executed is simply magnificent.

This is not like in other manga. In other romance manga, both sides are usually at least a little interested in each other by the third volume. I'll ... just say that this one is a bit slow. It may sound like a negative characteristic, but is exactly the opposite, the story is extremely well written and realistic.

We have two extremely different main characters, with their own worldviews, personalities and tastes.
Both Adachi and Shimamura are exceptionally well-written characters, they have depth, sometimes I feel like both are real people. It really is a delight to enter the minds of these two, the alternation between the two points of view is something that makes the reader captivated, excited, begging for the next chapter to know what's going on in their minds.

I recommend reading the light novel, however if novels just aren't your thing, this adaptation is worth it


Well, this is my first review and I am not fluent in English so please forgive my typos.

Although it is the same story, it is inevitable that the original (light novel) is superior and more elaborated, so the overall score drops to 9.

Overall: 9/10

I would like to start this review by apologizing in advance for grammar mistakes as English is not my primary language.

This is a story set in a faraway country, whose inhabitants are distinguished by the animal ears on their heads, and their acceptance of same-sex marriage. Chiru Kasuga, the 16-year-old only daughter of the head of a major company, is about to leave home to marry Senri Shinonome, a woman whom she's only met once, on a moonlit night seven years earlier.

This manga's proposal is very simple, it's a slice of life / shoujo-ai so there's not much to talk about. The art is impeccable ... as expected from Itou Hachi, the author. The work shows the daily life of the Chiru and Senri couple and develops the relationship between them.

The story is light and well written, the characters are captivating and the atmosphere of the manga is refreshing. What else can you expect from a slice of life work, huh?

My decision to start reading this novel was after I started reading the manga adaptation (Moke's version), as a friend's recommendation, she said I was missing a lot of the point of view of the two MCs. She was completely right.

(Hougetsu is my favorite, the chapters from her point of view are great)

AdaShima is a masterpiece that I recommend to everyone.
