izzieꨄ's manga / #shoujo(38)

summary: the female lead has a hearing impairment and the male lead loves to travel the world. this shoujo manga was such a heart-warming read :D

non-cliche(?) shoujo manga ☆ ༅ the concept behind this manga had me engaged the entire time and has a strong female lead, however the ending made me feel like it was incredibly rushed.

this mangaka has a superior style of art, such a gorgeous way of drawing characters. not your average shoujo female lead and that is a good thing :D

୨⎯warning: spoilers ahead⎯୧ this manga contains a love triangle between the female lead, her teacher and her friend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ the entire time i was rooting for the second lead and was so relieved when suzume chose him because mamura was way more genuine than shishio imo.

this is both a shoujo + shounen ai manga ꨄ aoki and ida are my fav pairing by far, they are a breath of fresh air and there is so much fluff too.

the movie brought me to the manga (a must read) i remember watching this years ago and to this day it still breaks my heart, a beautiful story nonetheless.

i love this, the mc is not “stupid” or “clumsy” she is representative of normal women. the male lead is so sweet and kind-hearted, not toxic as they usually are.

the male lead is really funny and the mc is independent and strong. i vaguely remember watching the anime a while back and was obsessed with the manga afterwards, rereading it now: certainly not worth all the hype but was a decent read.

regardless of the uninformed criticism in the comment section, this manga is a gem! the male lead has a strict family which makes it hard for them to be “lovey-dovey” with each other but the whole concept of this story is so fun to indulge in.

another sun ☼ and moon ☾ dynamic. started as a fake dating trope and ended with a she fell first but he fell harder concept (imo) the anime did not do this manga justice whatsoever because there was a lot of character development on both sides.
