Momo's manga / #art teacher(1)

Hakoniwa no Soleil

Ongoing | KAWABATA Shiki | 2000 released

Beautifully drawn, emotionally raw, and captivating~ This was really a nice find. Even though I wish she would end up with itsuki-san, but i’m glad she ended up with her childhood friend. He went to extreme extents and took the blame for everything just to protect her... it must’ve been hard. He’s suffered a lot and deserves love too :’( there were so many precious moments and memories. The art made the story telling so much better! Ahh but this girl! I really thought she liked itsuki at first. She really led me on with her reactions. wish there weren’t that many cute scenes between her and him since it gave me false hopes and left a bittersweet taske sigh. The mangaka really took the mystery trope too far, we didn’t even know who she would be with until the last chapters. But oh well I’m happy with this ending as well. Asahi really was like a sun to both of them. And they were both so gentle with her, i’m jealous man. I’m glad they all ended up happy :)
