Shingo hat seine Rolle gefunden: Er spielt in der Schule den Amor und erforscht für die Mädchen die Jungs, die diese anhimmeln – bezahlen lässt er sich dafür mit… Essen. Bisher mit einer Erfolgsquote von 100% steht er nun vor seiner herausforderndsten Mission. Er soll mehr über den beliebten Ao aus der Oberstufe herausfinden. Dieser wird aufgrund seiner unnahbaren Art auch der »Eisprinz« genannt und trägt eine geheimnisvolle Narbe auf der Stirn. Als er herausfindet, dass Ao sich vor Gewittern fürchtet, schlägt zischen den beiden plötzlich der Blitz ein…
Pfeil trifft Amor in dieser romantisch-humorvollen Boys Love-Reihe im Highschool-Setting!
Là phần tiếp theo của Cupid is Struck by Lightning, giờ đây cậu bạn "cupid" Shingo và đàn anh Ao đã trở thành một cặp. Nhưng lần này họ phải đối mặt với một vài khó khăn, liệu mối quan hệ của Shingo và Ao có tiếp tục?
Tập này mình thích hơn so với tập trước, mối quan hệ của Shingo và Ao có những tình huống khiến họ hiểu lầm - một phần củng cố sự bền chặt trong mối quan hệ của họ. Một phần khiến mình thích hơn là nhân vật Takeo, có Takeo lần này thấy hài hơn nhiều =))
I am wondering what happened to the couple that we saw in the first volume in chapter 5. Were they there for some reason or are they not there anymore? I am confused, but this volume was good as well. We follow the two main high schoolers who are now in a relationship and this is where their relationship has their first fight. It was kind of a misunderstanding and it gets solved very easily and I liked that. They also gain a friend who knows about their relationship and I think that will help them in the future!
I want to read the love story that the friend has in the next volume!
They have their first miscommunication fight in this one, but I enjoyed it since their insecurities are realistic and beneath them they still deeply care for each other.
Also, we get a new character that's both charming and an ✨️ally✨️. It's nice to have someone that actually knows they're dating.
Where's the muscle fetish couple at? I wanted more of them tbh. Fingers crossed for a third volume to drop.
Obvio que yo tenía que abrir la boca y decir que me gustaba que no haya dramas pavos en el tomo uno para que en este sí lo haya. Es el drama que te genera una trama, mi ciela. Encima más me molesta cuando es algo que pasa por falta de comunicación, pero bueno, por suerte lo trabajan.
EEK! The sequel is here!!! And they dropped it all at once?? I was expecting to have to read the chapters weekly, but I forgot futekiya drops full volumes too. AND they translated the lil bonus doujin like I was hoping they would. I'm really hoping futekiya translates the spin off sequel too with Takeo and Wakou. PLUS unrelated to this series, but related to Minta GOLDEN SPARKLE IS GETTING A PHYSICAL TRANSLATION!!! I hope this means more of Minta's works getting translations and physical publications. Their work is so good and I'm sure it would do really well in stores. I'm so excited for a lot of new titles and my preorder list only grows larger.
I am on a high right now on good reading content haha. I love Minta's work a lot. The art is so cute!! I love the rounder facial features, especially the profiles. Noda and Shikke also have that sort of style. It just makes everything so much cuter, but they also draw amazing smut? The contrast is great. This whole thing made me so giddy and happy. Shingo is such a precious bean. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because their conflict was honestly a little silly. They were being dramatic dumb teens, but like I get it!! I know why it happened, but like they're so dumb. Stupid idiots. I love them. Anyway, this is great. Just a good feel good series with some mild angst.
Comparado con la belleza que fue el primer tomo, éste cayó en picada como un campeón. Tiene todos los tropes genéricos que aborrezco, y el romance tampoco me pareció tan "aww" como el del tomo anterior.
Again, something that I typically don't like: another character coming in for a significant amount of page time, including substantial one-on-one bonding with one of the mains from the first volume. But in this case, it improves the second volume a lot for me, because I really like Takeo.
I think it's Shingo I'm just not that attached to. Takeo's muppet line made me laugh a lot; I can't take the guy too seriously, I guess? I like friendly, enthusiastic, welcoming characters, but I need them to show a bit more depth. Shingo's trying - I like that he's giving Ao space initially, doing his best to respect Ao's attempts to do things on his own, and then stepping in to help him through his trauma recovery in a way that will combine support with progress on getting past his fears. Although...we don't actually see any of that. All the chapters after the misunderstanding gets sorted are kinda them going back to the horny dating stage, which tends to bore me if there's no character development included.
They are a bit better in this volume, with some better communication, although I still don't like how much Ao is struggling to actually share his feelings with Shingo. Shingo didn't expressly tell Ao to cut off his other relationships, and I don't think he really would've asked for or expected that even in the height of his insecurity, but it's a bad sign that Ao felt like he couldn't have other friends if he wanted to keep Shingo in his life. He was actually having fun with Takeo, and it's not right for Shingo to get that petty and jealous about it.
Another issue: Shingo's inability to come up with any concrete reasons for why he likes Ao. That scene's meant to be funny, but it's exactly what I'm struggling with while reading, because I can't identify those parts either.
Why did Shingo fall in love with Ao so fast, and confess to him so abruptly? He has all that insecurity about someone else having met Ao first, learning his secret, and getting him to rely on them, and Ao falling for and dating them...but isn't it kind of the other way around? What if Shingo had met someone else who was super attractive and clung to him out of fear and needed his protection? What if that cute girl at the end of the volume had been interested in him, and he hadn't talked to Ao?
When Shingo does come up with a list later on, he still doesn't say a whole lot, or at least not much of substance. It's mostly focused around Ao's looks, which Ao even points out. (And all he ever wants to do when they hang out is physical stuff.) Meanwhile, Ao's list is actually very pinpointed to Shingo's personality. It makes their relationship seem on the underdeveloped, less mature side.
I've also realized that - in volume 1 especially - Shingo reminds me a lot of Aoki from My Love Mix-Up, but a less well-rounded version. (Maybe because Aoki has so many volumes to grow.) So he's really where I'm stalling out on the like-not-love with this particular series.
Suzumaru is great at one-shots, but this is one where it didn't totally work and needed more space to slowly progress into a full relationship. Shingo kinda needed to grow up more. It's a sweet first romance, but I'm not entirely convinced it has staying power.
Takeo, though, I do love. He's loud and bull-headed but actually very thoughtful and kind. He pays attention to people; he picked up the lightning thing right away, and put the pieces together about Ao and Shingo with so little information to go on. He's smart and funny and I'm really glad he got a spinoff of his own. He reminds me a bit of the similarly loud-but-kind guy from Twilight Out Of Focus's second couple, which I loved, so it's pretty easy to start narrowing down my types. For me, he and the random couple from Volume 1 are really the selling points of this particular series.
Bufff l'intent de triangle amorós amb el Takeo de かんしゃく玉のラブソング Kanshakudama no Love Song per falta de comunicació, gelosia i orgull se m'ha fet bola, la veritat. M'ha semblat una continuació que aporta poca emoció pel que fa a argument, però que entreté. Sobretot m'han agradat les escenes en què van a l'habitació del Shingo i es posa tot nerviós. L'Ao i el Shingo fa molt bona parella i tenen mil vegades més química que el Takeo i el Wakou... llegint la història principal, l'spin-off encara se'm fa més forçadot, tot i que entenc que el Takeo obre la porta a sentir-se atret per un noi a partir de la seva relació amb l'Ao. Per cert, quines penques com s'arriben a semblar aquests dos, les cares són idèntiques!!! Per últim, de la parella dels banys no se'n torna a saber res més... són un bolet ^^'
È così naturale la crescita dei personaggi in questo manga, da avermi lasciato esterrefatta a fine lettura. Scorrevole all'inverosimile ed estremamente gradevole nell'attrarre il lettore. Qui Shingo dovrà fare i conti con la gelosia e mi ha colpito la maturità di entrambi i personaggi, per non parlare di Takeo che mi ha fatto desiderare di abbracciarlo per la sua tenerezza.
Al igual que el vol. anterior, me encanto 8(*-*)8, es que el arte es divino. En este vol. tuvo el primer conflicto de la pareja y a pesar de que uno pensaria que no fue 'tan grande' si te pones en los zapatos de los personajes tiene todo el sentido del mundo. Me gusto como ese conflicto termino uniendolos aun más como pareja.
Pd. Me encantaron los momentos de ellos en las vacaciones.
Le cose si movimentano un po', arriva il festival dello sport e i nostri due protagonisti sono costretti a passare meno tempo insieme, qualche rivale di poco conto ma i due si rincontrano subito.
Mi ha colpito molto il pensiero di Ao. Consigliato per una lettura leggera e piacevole. Shingo è come immagino il mio compagno da giovane. E io mi sento un po' Ao <3
Reincontriamo i nostri protagonisti. L'avventura si fa più intricata per l'ingresso di altri personaggi. C'è un piccolo problema di comunicazione, che ricorda quanto possa essere importante. Un po' meno ingenuità ma molto più sentimento, e forse un qualcuno malinconico. Una storia classica e tranquilla, ma se vi possono piacere, buona lettura.
Esta série é super querida! Neste segundo volume percebemos o desenvolvimento da relação das personagens principais e finalmente apanhamos um pouco de drama típico de adolescentes. Senti uma certa nostalgia ao ver estes dramas! Apesar de tudo gostei mais deste segundo volume precisamente por isto. Aconselho a quem precise de um leitura leve, com comédia e muito amor.
More of a 3.5 star rating; They’re both still being cute and I really like that the issue that they faced in this volume, ended up being a big case of miscommunication instead of there being a love rival. Although while I did enjoy reading this manga volume, I wish the setting was in college to make the sexual moments more comfortable to view.
