nobile's manga / #hopeful ending(445)

Two childhood friends from the boonies plan to take their school by surprise: she wants everyone to see him for how great he is and not just as a country bumpkin. She does the job too well and soon enough he becomes a sensation in the entertainment business.

Pedo robo-dude protects naïve little rich-girl.

Adolescence means getting to know yourself and learning about feelings you might not quite fully understand. Things will get a bit messy, maybe people you thought were close to you end up being less important than you originally thought. You might even meet completely new people, who just turn your conceptions upside down. Just gotta hold on to your core, be honest, and accepting.

Goofy story about a girl afraid of the supernatural and the Sempai that chases her to join his supernatural club.

Story about a girl haunted by her past, being singled out for being too pretty, and a pretty boy who relentlessly chases after her.

Against all reason and science, kid lives despite not having a functioning circulatory system; after 18 years of being like this, his heart suddenly starts beating, only when he is near one particular person. I feel like the author had an interesting idea, started on the right track, then tried to "add spice" to the story, but ended up with a lot of mismatched ideas that couldn't come together as a whole. Then panic sunk in and they decided to just finish the story before the ship sank too deep.

Three bittersweet love stories: Swan Lake is about a girl that worked hard to reach her dream but in the end realised that her heart wasn't really in on it. Mermaid is about a girl that thinks too much but speaks too little, making everyone around her misunderstand her feelings and intentions. Frog Princess is a girl that already has a lot of troubles in her life, getting stuck with an even bigger troublesome guy that keeps intruding on her private life. Despite the first two stories having this sort of ambiguous ending to them, I think it was hinted that eventually they would reach that happy ending. And I think the epilogue chapter kind of confirmed it.
