Review for complete series

I am so sad about this; I really like Yoko Maki and I thought I would love this series as her works have continuously been getting better. Romantica Clock tells the story of twins Akane and Aoi - the former is naive and happy-go-lucky whilst the latter is studious and somewhat stoic. With Maki's beautiful art, this should have been a perfectly lovely story about the dynamics between these polar opposite twins, their family and social life, school struggles and of course romance. And while it had all that, it was just so... boring.

I generally liked the characters but I don't feel as though we ever got to know them properly. I can't relate to why Akane feels so extremely competitive toward her brother Aoi. Most of the other family members felt redundant and friends were introduced left and right without us ever truly getting to know them. The romance was even worse - Akane and her love interest might be very cute but she is much too immature for me to feel invested in them. I don't understand why he likes her and her liking him back feels just like a whim. Aoi's romance on the other hand isn't even cute, it's bland and comes across as entirely one sided.

All in all, it is still a cute manga but it could have been so much more and it should not have taken me as long as it did to finish this (6 weeks for 10 volumes!). It was just so bland and uneventful that the only thing left for me to truly like was the beautiful art. It's also not a genre thing as I can enjoy slice of life stories as well as sweet romances with young characters. There's just something missing in Romantica Clock and it really saddens me given that I like the author.

Ma che teneroni!!!

Sto letteralmente divorando questa serie ed è difficile fermarsi a un volume al giorno*. Sono felicissima del ritorno di Shin e la scena in cui Akane annusa l'aria e lo percepisce... Quella è fantastica!

Che bello il modo in cui i protagonisti si stanno rendendo conto dei loro sentimenti. Brava Maki-sensei!

* Per non nausearmi quando leggo le serie tutte insieme alla fine, mi sono imposta di leggere un volumetto al giorno. Per cui, da un lato mi vien voglia subito di andare avanti, ma dall'altro posso leggere anche un paio di serie contemporaneamente senza confondermi troppo.

It is a cute series, I just think I am getting too old for this genre

There’s not much new I can say about the sixth volume of Romantica Clock. Plotwise, we still have a lot of romance drama, and Shin is back who was interested in Akane before. We have some cliché Shojo moments here, like a confession at a firework. I still enjoy all the drama, just like the funny art style and characters. The cast is quite likable and it’s nice that some of them get more backstory here. However, the story is at some points too childish for me.
