Hana o Meshimase
Flower shop owner (25) x Highschool girl (17), live-in employee at the flower shop. ≪•..•≫ "Both you and the flowers taught me about the beauty of love" - Actually, their encounter enriched both Shion and Shun: they learnt something from the other and helped each other. I really liked the characters and the pace of the story. The art style is really nice, beautiful I'd say, and it matches well with the atmosphere of this heartwarming story. I loved every little detail, especially about flower arrangement and the language of flowers / Hanakotoba. As I love flowers, I'm also fond of the thought that they carry feelings that can be conveyed without using words. >> The plant Shion / Aster tataricus means Remembrance: it's so sweet that Shion chose this plant to convey her true feelings to Shun~♡
Rekka (monzen Yayohi)
Bittersweet story of a flower's unrequited love for another flower, which fell in love with an insect: the protagonists are two cobra lilies, represented through anthropomorphism. ═ The flowers gather once every year to decide the new chosen flower that is best suited to continue on bearing the fruits ═ It seems what flowers need to bear fine fruits is jealousy and in fact the chosen flower was jealous of the insect which was loved by his beloved flower. Well, this is unique! The concept is original and I appreciated that. If one wants to read something different, this is ok to read, but at the same time it wasn't very intriguing for me... There's a sequel/extra included in Zhen that hasn't been translated yet and where there's the insect: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/zhen/raw/raw-chapter-358087/
