Series review: Came here after binge reading ReRe Hello, Touko Minami's other manga series (which I highly recommend)! Touko Minami writes her stories like everything and nothing is happening. Her stories are not too dramatic so it doesn't get too stressful; she doesn't drag it out and she ends it in a neat fashion. I'm not a fan of love triangles/squares but I must say that Marui and Akane are some of the finest second leads I've read in a shoujo manga in recent times. I also liked Mio's circle of friends, they weren't there just for the plot, but they were really decent source of support for Mio and they had some nice chapters throughout the series. Three stars because 1) the last story arc counts as for me (which I abhor in stories), 2) it ended too abruptly, and 3) the happy ending isn't enough to make up for the angst, hurt, and pain near the end.
I liked the story even though it was typical. But I should have known... I should never have expected so much from a kind but dense(but perfect... shaking my head a little here) and a girl who doesn't do much anything at all except worry about how her crush/boyfriend thinks of her and how she might be a bad person by rejecting/hurting other guys. Seriously, how can all shojo manga characters be so clueless and dense and... bad at studying(except perfect guys.. of course.)
Taki è un'ameba. Povero, l'autrice si è dimenticata di fornirgli una personalità quando ha creato la storia. Non ha praticamente caratteristiche a parte quella di essere bravo in matematica. Non dice mai nulla, non si arrabbia mai... Mammamia, che noia!
Mio è più o meno al suo stesso livello, solo che lei è una capra in matematica. Insicura come poche, c'è solo Taki nel suo mondo. E crede di averlo tradito perché ha ascoltato la dichiarazione di Marui...
Marui... ecco, probabilmente l'unico motivo per leggere questo fumetto. Peccato che sia quello sfortunato che non si becca la ragazza di cui è pazzamente innamorato. SIGH!
Ancora un volume e poi ciao, ciao Tōko Minami. A mai più rivederci.
