My Thoughts
Review covers 3 chapters
Ah,
a good old shoujo manga. There are only 3 chapters and 2 one shots in the book.
You get a load of drama and romance mixed together in only 3 chapters. This was
the first time I have read Shibano Yuka’s work, but I will be covering some of
her other works later on the blog.
Well,
let’s see what we have here. We have a girl – Hana who falls in love with her
classmate Tokumoto Rintarou. As always every character in shoujo manga has its
secrets. And of course Rin is no exception. It seems that he was dating the
teacher, but when Hana confesses to him, he doesn’t reject her and they
actually do start going out. Those parts are a lot of fun; their dates
especially and the banter between Hana and Rin. There is a portion of
heartbreak in the manga, when Hana breaks up with Rin, so he can go back to his
first love. But what will Rin choose? Will he go back to his relationship with
the teacher or will he go back to Hana to have a happy end?
I
liked this manga for its simplicity and for the not disappointing as a short
shoujo manga. The characters were well developed even though there was not much
said about them. Especially Hana. She was really mature, if you can call it
that. She is fun, but at the same time she loves Rin unconditionally and she
wishes him to be happy even if he is not with her. You will like her a lot. You
will also love the one shots included in the book: 1 centimeter and my melody.
I
hope you find about 20 minutes to spare and read it. You’ll like it a lot. Enjoy
it to its fullest. Happy reading. If you liked it, share your thoughts with me.
XOXO
