Now i am at the last volume,how sad.This series really grew on me. Mamura is so selfless with his love for Suzume.What she feels and needs and wants is the most important thing for him.He is willing to let her go to another man for her happiness.

It totally brings tears to my eyes.

To review chapter 66, the end is where I have to start. Shishio sensei's admission of his love for her took me by a gasp. No matter how much I want him out of the picture, it was depicted in a way, it took me by surprise while knowing it was coming.

Mika Yamamori is now my favorite Mangaka.

Now, to assert my personal opinion about the story line, I think it was a clever twist and turn of even to bring him back to the picture just when we were getting used to him not being around.

My heart goes out for Suzume, I cannot imagine how she might be feeling. Mamura is such a sweetheart, I cannot imagine breaking his heart. He's too innocent. When I think about it, I hate sensei. He should've stayed away. And I have to say this, this Tsubomi has the most aweful timing to come around and mess with things.

Team Mamura for me.

And yet, I felt everything he felt while he realised that he loved her. It is now a torture to wait for the next chapter.

Why is Shisio back on the cover???
He truly is the opposite of a role model for the children. Once again we find him back to ruin the good thing Suzume has going. Thank god for Tsubomi for telling him the truth.

Okay so technically my ship has sailed but these two don't know how to talk to each other, and this teacher needs to STAY AWAY FROM MY BABIES.

Suzume and Mamura are... trying... at least. The adjustment from not a thing to some kind of thing is taking a little time, mind you, but they’re getting there. Sports day is on the way, however, and a chance encounter or two means that the light at the end of the tunnel might just turn out to be the garbage fire that is Shishio.

Boy, this is great. We start strong with Suzume’s answer to Mamura after last volume’s ending and it’s... really measured and kind of mature. Suzume does a lot of growing in this volume, especially when she realizes that she doesn’t have to love everybody the same way.

Mamura could arguably stand to call Suzume an idiot less, but he’s getting there. He epitomizes awkward-cool and there’s absolutely no question that he is the better match for Suzume. I think it comes down to a more lustful infatuation versus an actual relationship and Mamura’s got long-term prospects.

When Mamura visits Suzume and her uncle (her uncle’s barely contained glee at this development is too funny), he manages to nearly get himself in over his head with Suzume AND makes a rather sweet pronouncement when talking to her uncle. There’s some good material like this throughout the book.

Shishio turns out to be a total chump AGAIN. At least he’s consistent. He makes an incredibly poorly considered move on Suzume and given her reaction I think we can safely close the book on that chapter. If you want to see what a skewed power dynamic looks like when it starts to go sideways...

Of course, this is a manga so that doesn’t actually close the book and we get the surprise reappearance of Tsubomi to once again gum up the works (indirectly this time) and kick the can firmly down the road, but in a shocking new direction (oh, they went there). The last couple volumes have excelled at having diabolical cliffhangers.

We get a bonus manga that I looooooved to pieces, showing how Suzume’s friend Tsuru ended up with her boyfriend, from his perspective. This is really adorable, as he starts off as the standard perfect guy and becomes increasingly undone the more Tsuru is around. It’s a delightful addition to the book.

4 stars, even without my oft-desired Shishio bashing. There’s a lot of sweet and the undercurrent of a little more sour on the horizon as we move towards the finale. I’m glad to see Mamura and Suzume moving forward and also happy that they’re still really fun even once they’re together. Wonderful.

This manga often comes up in blog posts and recommendations as a manga where the second lead (AKA the decent guy) gets the girl. So, a plot where Second Lead Syndrome won't happen and where the girl would be treated well?

SIGN ME THE F UP.

However, I really, truly, wholeheartedly dislike Teacher-Student romance but I can be lenient if both are no longer minors. So imagine my surprise when I was able to finish this considering the FL is in HS and the homeroom teacher is, what, a decade older?? I was shookt. (Went back to check: FL is 16 while teacher is 24, yuck.) So what kept me reading? The intense desire to get over it and unleash my anger over the stupid, stupid plot. Is it good? I'm not sure. I was rushing through each pages, filled with wanting to find out who she ends up with, that I think I ended up reading a spoiler midway and then just breezing through the remaining chapters of that arc.

Honestly, Uncle said it best on Chap 46:

You jerk, do you understand what you're doing?

Good points for this manga: FL isn't ditzy, the girls are fun and supportive (we love women supporting women), mangaka tried to add diversity to her characters (I love Tsuru and Inukai), and Mamoru (the softest boy)... but these aren't enough to make up for the stress it gave me lmao

Woah this is really painful. The reason why Shishio is on the cover of volume 10 is that he finally let go of his pride and honestly conveyed his feelings for Suzume. But as you all know, she is making an effort to make things work for her and Mamura so you see the problem. It's so sad, yet this is what I was waiting for. A proper confession from Shishio. Honestly, I can't see Suzume and Shishio being together again, which is sad. I hope that Mika can change things around, but once again don't hurt Mamura. I want a happy outcome for him as well.

On the other hand, Yuyuka is officially over her crush, Mamura and is dating the persisten Togyuu senpai that has been in to her awhile now. Naww such cuties!

[Bianca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really loved Yuyuka, she is so precious and she's always supporting Yosano and that makes her an excellent friend.

I live by the blushes of my boys, but Mamura's blushes are precious🥺💙.

I always team Mamura.

WHY

[Rue · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m soooo mad at how this ended T____T let my boy Mamura be happy

[♡Kayla♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

*4.75*

“The truth is, I've always regretted it. I've never said what I wanted to say. The fact that I didn't say 'Let's go to the aquarium again.' The fact that I was late on Christmas. The fact that I didn't celebrate your birthday properly. The fact that I let go of your hand on New Year's. I've hurt you so much, and made you cry a lot. I'm sorry. The truth is that I... always... "Because I love you. It's because... I love you.”

My heart can't handle the emotional rollercoaster that this volume put me through! One second I'm smiling and laughing at how cute Mamura and Suzume are, and the next I find myself crying over Satsuki. Ugh, I'm really going to be sad no matter what, aren't I?

”Right now, I only hold half her heart. I think I can wait until she’s ready to give me the whole thing. In any case… I’m fine with the way things are for now.”

Uhhhhh Mr. Shishio can simply PO. I like him, but with the student teacher dynamic it’s just off putting. I feel like she was slowly moving forward & he just had to be selfish😐

[Wordsworn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I WAS LOVING THIS VOLUME

SUZUME x MAMURA IS GREAT AND PRECIOUS

AND THEN WE HIT THE LAST CHAPTER AND HECKIN TSUBOMI SHOWS UP AGAIN AND HECKS THINGS UP AND ENCOURAGES SHISHIO TO HECK THINGS UP

YOU'RE AN ADULT, STOP BEING SELFISH AND PLAYING WITH YOUR STUDENT'S FEELINGS AND LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE

[Soobie has fog in her brain · Rating 4 out of 5]

No!!!

Professore, caspita, l'hai piantata TU! Le hai spezzato il cuore! E adesso hai il coraggio di abbracciarla e di dichiararti a lei?! Ma sei impazzito del tutto!

Vai fuori dai piedi e lascia Suzume a Mamura, che son troppo belli insieme!!

OK, troppi punti esclamativi ma ci volevano tutti.

Molto bella la storia bonus che racconta dell'incontro tra Inukai e Tsurutani.

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tsubomi fucking read Shishio for FILTH. And he fucking deserves it messing with Suzume like that!!! FUCK HIM!!! I WANT TO SCREAAAAAM. Noooooooo. If either Suzume or Mamura get hurt I will FIGHT. Mamura is so fucking cute and precious I love him!! I want him and Suzume to be happy together :(

Side note: I liked the bonus story for Inukai and Tsuru it was cute.

[Kristin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I may be the minority here, but I have always been team Shishio. Maybe because I want him LOL ...I squealed a little bit at that last panel. I do feel bad for Mamura though..This is always a fast read. Can't wait for the next volume.

Picking up where the last one left off, we see Mamura’s dad making him French toast for the first time for breakfast while Mamura and Suzume are talking outside. She tells him she came to tell him her answer. It’s kind of convoluted. She says she isn’t sure if what she feels for him is love, but if he gives her a chance, she promises she’ll do her best to only think of him. She then tells him she’d like to be his girlfriend. He responds by saying she made no sense at all (hahaha). She says she put a lot of thought into what she said, and he says he knows that and flicks her forehead. Then he promises to take even better care of her than before and hopes she’ll do the same. Then his dad pokes his head out to see them talking. He invites her in for breakfast, but she says she has to get home. On her way home, we see she’s still wrestling with her feelings, but she does believe this is the beginning of her second love.

Her friends are pretty shocked when she tells them, but they are also happy for her. Things between her and Mamura are kind of awkward as they adjust to their new relationship. Yuyuka ends up having to talk to Mr. Shishio, and wanting to upset him, she brings up that Mamura and Suzume are dating. He says he heard, but also heard that it’s all for show. She corrects him, saying it’s for real now. Instead of laughing it off as Yuyuka expected, he grabs her arm, asking if she’s serious. He then realizes how that looked and apologizes, but Yuyuka realizes he might still have feelings for Suzume.

Suzume mentions to her uncle that she is dating Mamura now, and he responds with excitement and insists she invite him over on Sunday. Her friends make her nervous about the whole thing, so when he gets there, she isn’t sure how to act and can’t relax. After a while it gets easier, and they play the game of Life and eat snacks. Before he leaves, she gives him a hug, which is somewhat awkward but nice. Then she runs off, leaving Mamura to try to process what just happened.


Sports day is coming up, and Suzume decides she wants to make headbands and pom-poms since Mamura will be running. She doesn’t expect Mr. Shishio to be in charge. When she’s finally done, they are the only two left. As she goes to leave, he grabs her hand and pulls her into an embrace. She tries to pull away and tells him to let go. Another student walks in, and she is able to make her escape. Later we see him ruminating on this when his ex Tsubomi shows up saying she’s back temporarily.

Later Suzume is on the roof thinking about what happened; she is bewildered about the entire thing. While she is sitting there, Mr. Shiori walks out to the room. Suzume tries to climb up a ladder to get away from him. He calls after her, trying to think up a reason to tell her why he did what he did, when he blurts out, “I love you; it was all because… I love you.”

So yeah, not super pleased with his behavior.

[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

The problem at this point is that I'm not sure either of Suzume's love interests make sense for her...

It's kind of a bummer that she's actively rebounding with Mamura as a "maybe I'll grow to love you" experiment, although I appreciate that she's completely upfront about it. She likes him a whole lot. She puts a lot of value in their friendship - she just doesn't know if that's love, or if love looks different depending on the person you're with. Mamura is all comfort and security, while Shishio was excited fluttery feelings...which didn't turn out to be all that stable.

Mamura is fantastic; he'll take what he can get, wait patiently for her to potentially give him her whole heart, and let her go if she ultimately decides their relationship isn't what she wants.

Interesting that both he and Shishio have conversations with her uncle about their relationships and come out of it on very different paths. I wonder if Shishio will tell Suzume that he broke up with her largely because of familial disapproval?

The problem is that we haven't gotten enough context to understand what it is that Shishio "loves" about Suzume. He still, to me, just seems really lonely...and when he sees that Suzume is moving on to someone else and leaving him behind - not wanting or needing him anymore - that makes him reach out to her again. Does he want her, or does he just want to be wanted?

Don't love that his ex keeps showing up in the story just to tell him to try dating Suzume. It's a disservice to her and keeps throwing her maturity into stark relief - she and Suzume are so different that maybe Shishio was just gravitating to someone who wouldn't find him of the woman who'd left him?

I like that Suzume is initially things with Mamura - the hug was really cute, and her asking him out was a mirror of their first meeting and friendship-forming. And the bonus story with Inukai falling in love with Tsuru was really cute.

Encore un excellent tome pour Daytime shooting star. Je ne suis pas forcément fan de certains événements arrivant à la fin mais j'avoue que cela permet de bien gérer les romances dans leur globalité et de ne pas avoir quelque chose de trop : on range ça dans une case et hop on oublie. Et puis cela montre aussi la complexité des interactions humaines et c'est vraiment le coeur du manga.

Mais commençons sur la partie la plus trognonne de Daytime shooting star : le début de la romance entre Suzumé et Mamura. Nous n'en sommes qu'au tout début, mais déjà, il y a beaucoup plus d'interactions qui font des étincelles. On sent une vraie connexion. Suzumé le dit d'ailleurs à Mamura, quand elle est avec lui, elle se sent à l'aise et elle peut être elle-même. Et mine de rien c'est hyper important. Alors oui, passer d'amis à petits-amis, ce n'est pas forcément évident, et on le voit ici. Ils sont tous les deux gênés surtout que c'est à tous les deux leur première relation. Comment agir, quoi faire et quand, jusqu'où aller... ? Ce qui semblait facile le devient un petit peu moins. Mais c'est aussi à travers cela que l'on voit qu'ils tiennent l'un à l'autre. C'est donc hyper mignon.

Il y a beaucoup de réflexions également. Suzumé fait un point sur ses sentiments et ce qu'elle ressent. Et j'aime sa façon de penser. Elle est honnête avec elle-même et les autres. Malgré sa naïveté et son manque d'expérience, elle arrive à prendre des décisions plutôt matures et qui nous font même réfléchir. On ne va pas parler de Mamura dont la maturité me fait encore une fois fondre. Dans le genre héros que l'on voudrait tous avoir près de soi, il tient l'une des premières places, c'est certain. Quand un homme déclare qu'il est prêt à s'effacer si cela doit rendre heureuse la femme qu'il aime, je suis désolée, mais comme green flag, on ne peut pas avoir mieux. Il est conscient des sentiments confus de Suzumé et il est bien déterminé à tout faire pour la protéger, tout en tentant sa chance.

On notera aussi les gros plans sur les visages de nos héros, qui donnent clairement une dose d'émotions supplémentaires et qui fait fondre surtout quand Mamura rougit à n'en plus finir. Ce garçon est un amour de première.

Et puis on arrive au moment où Sishio reprend un peu le devant de la scène. Nous savons tous qu'il est toujours amoureux de Suzumé et que leur histoire est loin d'être terminée. Mais j'avoue que je n'apprécie pas vraiment qu'il retente sa chance. Alors oui, il est amoureux, encore une fois. Il a besoin, en un sens d'avouer ce qu'il a sur le coeur, mais... en faisant cela, il ramène Suzumé en arrière et cela va la rendre encore plus confuse, elle qui commençait enfin à aller de l'avant. J'ai de la peine pour lui, certes, cependant je suis aussi en colère contre lui. J'aime le personnage car il est complexe et qu'il est difficile de ne pas l'apprécier car c'est quelqu'un d'attentionné et perdu. C'est aussi l'adulte, celui qui devrait agir comme tel. Une ambivalence qui est difficile à gérer, surtout que comme je le disais dans le début de ma chronique, cette romance avait besoin d'une vraie conclusion, chose qu'elle n'avait pas eu car trop de choses en suspens. Mais pas comme cela.

La suite s'annonce sportive, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire. Mamura ne va pas se laisser faire, c'est certain et ça va probablement donner lieu à des scènes cocasses. En espérant tout de même que ça ne bouleverse pas trop notre petite Suzumé.
