never really explained why she is not a genius diva prima ballerina anymore.
So, she goes from ballet to the ancient art of Japanese archery. Really?!?
This is a one volume story-so plotline, that it is moves quickly.

This was a really short manga but I loved it; the characters were amazing and their relationship was kinda sweet.

3.5 stars! This manga is a fun but uneven story. I don't know if it's the translation or the original story but there's a lot of back and forth and contradiction within the story itself. Plus some of the words don't make sense or were not the best word choice in this scanlation translation. But it wasn't choppy, I certainly seen a lot worse translations.
This was funny, I liked all the characters, it was a different take on regular shoujo: an arrogant but still relatable ex Primadonna ballerina who takes up archery and meet up with her old rival. Within the first few minutes they are beating each other up! Of course their rivalry translates to her trying hard and not giving up despite his seeming 'bullying' which is really his way of encouraging her. The story is progressing nicely, the two realize their feelings for each other and girl who used to be a ballerina fines her way with a new sport and regaining some self confidence. Not that she needed it! Enjoyed this!

I really enjoyed this one. Really really enjoyed it! I love dance, fantasize about archery, and have a freakishly huge soft spot for hard workers. It was as if it was the perfect storm for me. I also felt that it was extremely relatable. That is not something you often find in manga. Anna giving up something she had devoted practically her entire existence and identity to happens to a lot of kids her age. In some ways it happened to me too, so it tugged at me more and in a way that most other stories do not. I loved the exaggerated personalities and found myself laughing more than once. I can't wait to pick this one up again.

Purikyu é um manga que só tem um volume, da mesma autora dos dois mangas anteriores.
Purikyu, em japonês, é uma mistura de Prima-Dona (bailarina) com a arte de Arco e Flecha, e é sobre isso que é o manga.
Katsuragi Anna é uma antiga bailarina, que devido a uma lesão no joelho, teve de se retirar dos bailados. Jinnai é o presidente do clube de Arco e Flechas, ao qual Anna se quer juntar. Os dois são antigos amigos e rivais por isso o Jinnai a princípio não aceita Anna no grupo e por essa mesma razão ela está decidida a ser a melhor.
Este volume único da história destes dois e do clube é divertido, sem chegar a ser excelente. Ver a interacção dos dois é fantástico e as gargalhadas são constantes só por isso já vale a pena ler.
O Jinnai é o típico "bully com um coração de manteiga" o que lhe tira alguma autonomia, mas a Anna é uma personagem fora do comum, confiante de si mesmo (até chegar a ser convencida) e nunca desiste, o que a torna uma das heroínas mais fortes que já vi/li.
Este manga lê-se de uma assentada e diverte, por isso recomendo a quem procure uma heroína forte num shoujo.

この作品は素晴らしい！短いけれどちゃんと最初から楽しくて面白かったです。弓道をし始めた私にとっては読むのを楽しみにして、他の弓道メンバーに見せたいなと思いました。最富先生も大学の時代に弓道をやって、適切に描いたと思います。キュンキュンしたし「あるある」と思い、また何度も読みたいです！
I loved this manga! It was short but really well planned out, so from the very beginning it was easy to get sucked into the story, making it seem longer than it was. The main character is a girl who starts to learn kyudo, and as someone who just started learning myself, I can really relate to her. She isn't the typical shoujo manga character, and I really enjoyed it because of that. Motomi Kyousuke did kyudo in college, so he was able to capture the sport with accuracy. I want to read it again, that's how much I loved it.

Komik ini ditujukan untuk siapapun yang pantang menyerah dan ingin bangkit dari kekalahan.
Kecelakaan fatal membuat Katsuragi Anna, seorang prima balerina yang biasa menari di panggung-panggung ternama harus gantung sepatu di usia belia.
Saat masuk SMA, Anna yang patah harapan diajak bergabung ke klub memanah. Tak disangka, di klub memanah, Anna bertemu kembali dengan musuh bebuyutannya sejak kecil, Jinnai Takeru. Seteru yang pada akhirnya mampu membangkitkan kembali semangat juang Anna sebagai seorang olahragawan.

I really like this short manga story. It's about a girl who really understand the meaning, "If you work hard, put your heart and soul in it you will achieve whatever you want". It's also about finding yourself and make the choices that you will not regret later in life.

Love Arrow, while short, was a really enjoyable manga. I liked the characters even when they acted somewhat annoying and the plot was sweet and cute. Perhaps the best feature was learning more about the sport of archery through the archery club aspect.

From ballerina to archery champ, Anna was ready to prove that she could be good at the sport. Even if her old rival Jinnai (and club President) didn't seem to want her to join the archery team.
This was a really cute and funny story.

Hah. Cute though. :P The whole "I'M A GENIUS PRIMADONNA" thing was kinda annoying though. :P

It was okay but kind of got boring in the middle.

Hmmmm.. I woulda preferred if it had been a little deeper, but the general plot would probably not have grabbed me anyway, so.. Yeah. Hmm.
