午前0時、キスしに来てよ(8)
A sardonic rom-com manga, Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight is perfect for fans of shojo like My Little Monster and Kare Kano.Hinana prizes her reputation as a serious high school student, too focused on getting into college to pay attention to boys. But she's a secret fairytale romance freak, sneaking away from her studies to see A Roman Holiday and tucking pop idol magazines into her textbooks. When her celebrity crush comes to her school to film a TV episode, she has to pretend to be totally uninterested even as she desperately tries to get close to him. However, she's not the only one who's not what she appears... her dreamboat isn't just a pretty face either!

Nuovo capitolo nuovi colpi di scena che mi hanno colpito molto.

Meh. There wasn't much that happened. It was SO short. Totally disappointing to be honest.

I need a subplot addressing the mother-child stuff ASAP.

Kaede, quanto sei figo

It kills me to say this, but it is only now dawning on me that this is effectively female wish-fulfillment fantasy. How do I know this? Because while it APPEARS that there are stakes involved in their relationship, nothing of note really comes from it. That isn't to say that there aren't risks and the consequences that have occurred are realistic, but the key point is that this story is SAFE. Yes, their relationship isn't public (yet), but there are many ways this story could have shown the harsh reality of a high school girl dating a celebrity, but instead it's just fluff with some conflict on the side. And you know what? I'm honestly okay with that.
Make no mistake, the fact that so many issues in this volume were resolved peacefully is why it's a three star rating, but I'm actually fine with this being a more fluffy story. While I am one that cries "realism" at any point I can with regards to stories like these, the fact that I'm a more character-driven reader is what makes it easier for me to push aside the more unbelievable aspects of the story because I'm so invested in the main couple. Plus, I get the impression this isn't a story meant to be taken seriously or to be seen in a realistic light. It's a fluffy little rom-com that is meant to make your heart squee over the adorable couple and all of their adorableness, with conflict thrown in for conflict and drama purposes. And I am totally on board with this.
I can imagine that this could be the stopping point for most people once they realize that nothing truly terrible is going to happen to these two (at least, I'm predicting nothing will) but I'm still enjoying this story and want to see it through to the end. Let's see what volume 9 has to offer!

Very cute! I love how Mikimoto draws Ayase and Nana during comedic moments — they’re so adorable. This volume had a few moments where I chuckled. I love how they feel like an established couple even though they’ve still not been together for very long. I am excited to see how their relationship progresses.

This was another good volume. I really enjoy the plot and characters. I do struggle with my reviews for later volumes so for more in depth thoughts on the series please check out my reviews on the early volumes of the book and also for the last volume when I finish it.

Today's manga post is on Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight, Vol. 8 by Rin Mikimoto. It is 176 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has the two main characters on it being cute. As it is the eighth in the series, you need to have read the first seven volumes to understand the story. There is some mild foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The intended reader is someone who likes rom-coms, silly plots, and young love. The story is told from third person close of the two main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Wishful Thinking
Hinana's mother has discovered her secret, and now Hinana is forced to realize that who she's with affects more than just herself. Seeing the rift it starts to cause between her mother and her little sister, she can't help but feel responsible. She suggests to Kaede that they call the whole thing off... But will Kaede be able to let her go?
Review- Hinana does a lot of thinking in this volumes, which was not the point of the person who had the photo of her and Kaede. They wanted to make Kaede miserable not give them a chance to have to talk about their relationship in a serious way. So in the end it was a good thing. Hinana and her best friend also have a good talk and hash out some things between them. This was a strong volume with a lot character development. I hope that we get more of the same in the next volume.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Volume con una leggera dose di angst e che apre le porte a nuove, interessanti rivelazioni.
Tanto per cominciare, vediamo le conseguenze di quanto accaduto nei numeri precedenti, visto che alla madre di Hinana viene recapitata in forma anonima una foto che ritrae la ragazza e Kaede. Da lì le cose iniziano a farsi difficili per la nostra protagonista, divisa tra i suoi sentimenti per Kaede e il senso di responsabilità nei confronti della famiglia. Dopo alcuni giorni di lontananza, sarà proprio il ragazzo a rassicurarla sulle sue intenzioni e sui suoi sentimenti.
La parte finale del volume vede invece il piano messo in atto (maldestramente, oserei dire) da Nana e Aki (che rivelerà all'amica di essere stato lui a scattare la foto incriminata e qui Hinana la prende con un po' troppa filosofia per i miei giusti) per cercare di arginare Mitsuki. Alla fine sarà di nuovo Kaede a risolvere la situazione, finendo per rovinare ulteriormente i rapporti con i suoi vecchi compagni
Come detto, il prossimo volume ci porterà finalmente più informazioni sul passato di Hinana. Sono proprio curiosa.
In linea generale, questa serie si conferma essere una lettura carina, ma non delle più coinvolgenti.

Ma quanto sono belle le copertine!!
Le situazioni - per quanto gravi - si risolvono nel giro di poco tempo e dopo tutto procede come prima. Sia la mamma di Hinana che scopre che sua figlia sta uscendo con un attore famoso sia ... tutto si risolve subito. Ma va bene così! Forse è proprio questa la forza di questo shojo.
Mi è piaciuto rivedere i personaggi di Close to heaven, Band 1 dopo tanto tempo. Dovrebbero pubblicarlo anche in Italia: è proprio una bella storia! Con un pappagallino parlante che è la fine del mondo.
Io mi avvicino spedita alla conclusione... Peccato!

In seguito alla foto finita tra le mani di sua madre Hinana inizia a riflettere sulle conseguenze della sua relazione con Kaede. I due hanno sempre pensato a loro stessi, ma la ragazza non ha mai pensato alle conseguenze che potrebbero coinvolgere anche la sua famiglia? In questo momento così complicato come risolvere la situazione? E i sentimenti di Kaede lo porteranno a fare di tutto per lei? Un volume pieno di angst che ti fa un po’ soffrire, ma tutto si risolve sul finale con un po’ di divertimento, anche se nuovamente ritorna in ballo il passato di Hinana che spero sia finalmente trattato nel prossimo volume! È anche ora! Inoltre c’è una storia extra della precedente opera dell’autrice che mi è molto piaciuta e spero che questa opera sia presto pubblicata in Italia.

I picked up the first of the series on kindle unlimited to check it out and ended up reading the entire series ending up staying late to finish. I just loved the idea for this one the celebrity and the high school girl just works. I love that they both grew so much over the course of the series. This is a quick fast paced sweet whirlwind romance. I'm going to need these for my collection. I was super sad to see the series end but I'm so glad that I got a happy ever after. It's a beautiful story with equally beautiful artwork.

I quite liked this volume. The art was so pretty, too. Kaede and Hinana's relationship just makes me smile. 4.5 stars!

I’m glad A-chan confessed and I also like it that Hinana is trying to help Ayase. However, I just don’t understand her actions and the apparent fear she has of (or for) her home life. Ayase is fighting for her though, and I love him for that. Really enjoyed the Close to Heaven short story in the back as well as Scarlet’s point of view!

I find Hinana’s relationship with her family odd. This is addressed later but just one little thing made her question her parents love and she just never asks about it. I hope all adopted people don’t feel this way.

I really enjoyed Hinana and Ah-Chan trying to scheme on Mitsuki lol

(3.75) Un tome qui nous rappelle une nouvelle fois qu'on est dans une réécriture de Cendrillon - pas plus cliché quoi - mais j'aime toujours autant. Je dirais même qu'on évite parfois des complications sur le long terme. De plus, on a enfin dans ce tome-ci une mini-histoire avec les personnages de Close to Heaven éhé !

Habe mich sehr über das Close to Heaven Sonderkapitel gefreut!
