An other manga from one of my favorite mangaka! If you liked Strobe Edge or Ao Haru Ride, this manga is for YOU.
STORY (8)
The story cercles around four characters. Yuna, the dreamy girl, Akari, the realistic one, Kazuomi, Yuna's childhood friend and Rio, Akari's brother. Now, at first glance, this seems all clichés but if you look at it closely, this story is about four teenagers with different view on love. Hanging aroung each other will lead them to see love in a different way they used to. Without being over dramatic, the story is really refreshing.
ART (10)
If I love Io Sakisaka, it's not only for her lovely stories but also for her flawless art! To me, it's perfect!
CHARACTERS (8)
YUNA, If at first I thought she would be annoying, I was wrong. Even if she is a 'dreamy' girl, I was really surprised to see her change through the chapters. She learns from her mistakes and she is stronger than she seems at first glance. But so far, something is bothering me about her, it's the fact that Io is focusing too much on other characters, and I feel like she is left behind! BUT, BUT, BUT, i'm only at chapter 14 and hopefully, the mangaka will focus more on her once she is done with the current arc.
AKARI, is the realistic girl who will find love by being loved. She had few boyfriends before that she thought she sincerely loved...She thinks that love can grow with time if all the things collide between two people (same interests, hobbies, etc.) Her view on love will change when she will experience love for the first time.
KAZUOMI, there is not much known about him. We know he is Yuna's childhood friend and that he is very gentle, kind and reliable! I can't wait to see and know more about him! So far, I like him the most!
RIO, If at first you think he is just a playboy who loves girls only on their appearance, you find out later that he is more complex than he seems. He is in a situation that he can't control and sincerely, it's really sad that he can't get out of it. He is stuck between two feelings making everything complicated! And I can't wait for him to 'change'.
ENJOYMENT (8)
So far, I'm enjoying this manga. It's really refreshing and not over dramatic. But is it gonna stay this way? I hope so! I don't like when everything falls apart...
OVERALL (8)
Since the story isn't finished yet, I can only give it a 8! Please, don't listen to the people saying everything is clichés...It might have some clichés, but being all mixed together, it makes something refreshing! The characters are nice and realistic! And sincerely, I can't predict what's going to happen in the next chapters! Which is a good thing! The only thing that I THINK lacks in this manga is the little goofy moments. This manga isn't so ''funny''. But I think it's because of the story just starting and building up, and since at chapter 14, it's still in an important and serious arc, this is why there is not so many funny scenes.
