narutolvr's manga / #5/10(43)

Kinda boring. Nothing stood out or was particularly good or bad.

It was sort of a nice deviation from most shoujos I come across but it started to drag a lot and by chapter 20, became so predictable I just skipped to the final chapter. The reunion was pretty anticlimactic which I didn't mind but I was disappointed that the author didn't use the space to show a bit of character development, which I think is the purpose of a time skip in the first place otherwise, what's the point? If I were careless in reading, I wouldn't have known any time had passed at all; the characters were the exact same as the beginning of the manga. Maybe the author should have fast forwarded more than 2 years, or maybe she should have chosen a different way to end it. Either way, the final third of this manga really let down the expectations I had from the beginning.

Could've done without the kids' story.

Didn't like it very much- maybe the concept was so far fetched I couldn't feel any emotions from it? I didn't really understand why the MC slit her wrists- it's not as if she had homicidal tendencies even in the game so why in real life? Guess it just had to be completed in 2 chapters and that was the easiest way to do it.

Read this a little while ago but forgot to mark it. Not bad but there are other single dad yaois that I prefer. Main story was short and the second didn't catch my attention very much.

Really generic and not very interesting. Leaving out the fact that he was suddenly in love with her out of nowhere, the fact that the bad guy gets caught and gives up in 3 pages after trying to kill her before is just plain ridiculous.

I'm not all that sure how I felt about this manga. Some of the stories were a bit...it seemed like most of the women just let themselves get carried away by the mood and tried to justify it later. Except for the story with Bean- I really liked that one because the heroine was strong, even without a guy with her.

The script used for narration/thoughts for the first story was too fancy and hard to read, so that was a bit annoying. To be honest, I didn't care for the first couple at all, either; I would much rather have read multiple chapters on the 2nd and 3rd couples.

The first story definitely rubbed me the wrong way but I liked the 2nd and the extra at the end. Not to mention, something about Ogawa Chise's art makes me want to keep looking at it. Her characters have a strange allure about them -it's like exaggerated sexiness?

Left a bad taste in my mouth but, no one ever said the main characters have to be good guys, right? Meanwhile, it was surprisingly shallow considering Minase-sensei's usual work.
