Royanna's manga / #Slice Of Life(625)

I'm probably in the minority here but it started out bad for me, and as I continue reading it I can't bring myself to sympathize on all these characters. Literally all of them - well except for Yuu, because he seems to have a good character arc. But I can't stand all of them. It feels like there are so many things going on in the story that's somehow glossed over, like when Mika was raped then she got pregnant and then having a miscarriage yet the problem still lies when they broke up and they act like spoiled children again. I really can't stand it. Probably the turning point for me albeit a little is knowing Hiro was sick and I just want to know how it ends. It's sad but it didn't give me the heavy feels I was expecting. It was an ok read.

Cute.

I love the writing style and the humor although it's a bit much but it was so fun and a refreshing read!

Typical love triangle shoujo troupe. The girl gets an average boyfriend and somehow her guy friend slowly catches feeling for her. I honestly liked Marui better because his character shows more depth and emotion than anybody in this manga (except for Akane - that girl <3). But what I liked about this manga is how every character has flaws, whether insecurities, failures and actual hardships faced by students. But it still didn't deter the fluffy drama this offers. That ending has me tho. I liked how it played out when Marui thought he could finally have a chance for Mio but she firmly stood her ground and became rational that it was not what she wanted to happen, that she would not be selfish, and thinking that even if it doesn't go back to the way it was before it's better to move forward, and surprisingly ( not!) there goes Taki-kun realizing that he was the one being selfish and only wanting to protect his feelings. I damn admired that acr in the story because I rarely see male leads honestly admitting to their faults. So refreshing. Again, all good stories must come to an end and always lead us on wanting something more. Like give me Marui-kun x Akane-chan!

What a pure and fluffy read! Totally entertaining with each of these characters! It's a rather short story but it delivers a nice quality read to it!

What a kawaii!

I feel like all he needs is a friend who would understand him and to hang out with him, not a love interest who have doubts of you from the start. I also really feel sorry for him because he just wants to be a normal kid but he gets mistreated by the way he looks and not his personality. We all have this prejudice among other people, thinking they're bad because of the way they look and not taking the time to really get to know them, but when we do we would find out that they're pretty much okay and that they're normal human beings. I hope we get that prejudice and to start seeing and knowing people for who they really are.

Reading more than halfway through I thought it could seriously be done with around 10 chapters. This guy, Kou, he was so hard to understand. I'm convinced he just had a shitty character for leading her on like that! Going in circles with his feelings and not realizing till the end what he felt from the start. Pretty shitty as well when you the girl tries so hard to move on from you but then you get to feel miserable so you want to lead her on again! Ugh! I personally think also that those side "love interests" shouldn't have happened since at the time they would eventually get together those side characters would never ever matter. I understand it's for the plot and in testing the MC's personality development, but the circle of friends alone could be enough. I always feel that there is no point bringing other people to that table knowing they will get hurt in the end and know they will not matter in the progression of the story. But I also understand that this is where the story wanted to go. Either way we got our happy ending. To be honest, I almost lost interest in rooting for Kou because he doesn't even have that much personality. You know when you liked a boy because he's cute and and he's mysterious? No, that's not how it works here. The only arc happened by the end of the story where he expresses how happy he was and how he was able to say more about what he feels, yet disappointingly being so stoic and flat since the beginning. I'm just so glad the secondary characters are also more interesting to read about because if they're not I would really think everybody in this story are rocks! So hard to get a reaction to! And that slight twist in the ending! I thought it's going to break my heart! Like wtf is happening. But anyway, what I'm most happy about is that we got a cameo from one of my favorite couple from Stobe Edge! Man, that story was just superb to the nth degree. It was so good. Ans I also see the resemblance in the writing pattern for both of the story. In the end, it changed my mind and I ended up liking the whole story.
