I think Ze is one of those manga that years will pass and the story and its feelings will still be fresh in our hearts. The art is great, the characters are great, the story line is wonderful, but perhaps what really makes this manga so lasting is the characters' monologues~ the narration is deep and really pulls readers to sympathise with whatever circumstance the characters are in. Thumbs-up to the translators ^^
Though till the end, out of everyone, I was cheering for Waki because, having lived for so long, Waki deserves some kissy love and happiness.
Seeing this extra is like Christmas in September ^^
This manga still gives me doki doki feelings from their flirting~ I hope one day they'll tell us Rayflo's 'real' name... but if they don't, that too is ok since the idea of Cherry alone knowing, still makes my heart flutter with awe and curiosity XD
At first, I'd my doubts how this manga would turn out but WOW! The inner dialogues were fantastic. The pace not fast, not slow, and at times it almost feels like nothing happens but that's because the story is naturally paced like a proper slice of life. The art style complements the characterisation and the characterisaion is perhaps the biggest selling point of this story. The few one shot inserts were also interesting. Overall, I found this manga a very good read!
The extra chapter was delicious! The dialogue and their interaction with each other felt so real~ and how Akesato loved Hosokawa whether he's chubby or chiselled was too too tooo sweet *dances* I really felt all that love cooked up from the previous chapters ^^
Somehow, I feel like this entire story could be summed up in 2 chaps and serve as the prequel/and/or an extra to a main story. I guess this means I would like to see how things work out for them in the long run since they so very oddly got together and there was really no explanation why Hide was so madly in love with Tomo apart from them being super best pals~ and so I feel these chapters would work even better as flashbacks. Hmm, I guess I do like this manga since I obviously want more lol
I like how instead of dragging out what we already know (how much they like their friends but are too chicken to confess so they feed off each other the normal blah blah that we've read a million times before), I sort of like how the author just quickly got that out of the way and now we can look forward to the real potential of the story in the upcoming chapters, I think.
This is sooo fricking cuuuuute! Has sensible dialogues and I'm in love with their facial expressions~ so real and pretty XD
I have so much respect for the mangaka~ for being able to say soooo much with so little words by just simply (and brilliantly) allowing the panels/art/expressions to do the perfect job ^^ I never want this series to end!
This must be one the most realistic manga I've ever read. The plot isn't original per se, but the charming characters and the sensible plot situations are so real that I'm pulled into their world every time I read. So I'm hoping for more extras! I keep rechecking for something new. Too perfect to end.
This story can't get any realer~ their expressions, their joys, their worries, the way they feel about themselves and about each other... even the sometimes lazy everyday dialogues all add up to make so much sense and help to push the plot forward~ everything flows unforced - it's just really amazing.
