About the author
Nikki Asada
144 books13 followersNée un 19 septembre, dans la préfecture de Shimane.
Après de nombreuses années dans le milieu du fanzinat, Nikki Asada lance profesionnellement sa carrière en 2008, avec une histoire courte intitulée Hatsukoi Cheers (dans le “Monthly Princess” d'Akita Shoten).
En 2010, elle débute sa toute première série, Bienvenue au club, toujours dans le “Monthly Princess” d'Akita Shoten. Cette série s'impose très vite auprès d'un lectorat mixte, grâce à ses personages sensibles… et surtout comiques ! Le succès est tel que Bienvenue au club totalise aujourd'hui déjà 8 volumes.
Grâce à ce premier gros succès, la mangaka se fait remarquer, et commence de nombreuses autres séries chez d'autres éditeurs : Navigatoria (dans Be Love, de Kôdansha), Yowatomo (dans PASH! De Shufutoseikatsusha) ou même Meitanteibu kono ato sugu ! (dans Young Ace de Kadokawa Shoten). Cela n'est pas tout, puisque Nikki Asada illustre également Kanagatari, un essay-manga scénarisé par la très célèbre Kana Hanazawa (doubleuse, chanteuseet actrice). Il lui arrive également assez fréquemment de signer des illsutrations pour les concerts et goodies officiels de cette dernière.
Fin mai 2014, la mangaka très prolifique, débute encore une nouvelle série : Hoshigami-kun ha doukashiteiru sera prépublié dans le magazine shôjo très ado Dessert, de Kôdansha. Cela lui fera donc 5 séries en cours !

3.5 stars, rounded up because I genuinely enjoyed this series. It didn’t do anything that audaciously new, but it had two strong leads who worked well together and made a great couple.
It doesn’t waste any time either, but that’s possibly to its detriment in this final volume, which sometimes feels like it has a bunch of beats it needs to hit and is mercilessly checking them off in rapid succession - the scene with Asahi’s sister, while getting the job done, feels like it was dropped right in the middle of the story.
Also her sister sucks.
The plot machinations threaten to get in the way of Asahi and Yokaze’s romance, but I did like that they spend this volume just being a couple and supporting one another. It’s something more shojo could lean into.
Like I said, there’s nothing new here whatsoever, but I’ll take a basic story told well over something trying to reinvent the wheel and ending up with a mess every time. If you’ve ever been interested in Nikki Asada’s works, this is definitely the series to check out.
I honestly wish it had been a bit longer to give some of these plots time to breathe, but it’s a perfectly nice short series for an afternoon read.

This manga series held my heart in the palm of its hand and tangled my emotions before bringing it to such a perfect ending. I so sad that it has to end, but what a breath-taking series.

I really enjoyed this story. So much fun.
The RA turned out to be a not-so-bad guy after all. And they saved the hall. Even better, the young couple get to stay together, under the same roof, & it doesn't have to be a secret anymore! All's well that ends well. These are the kind of stories I enjoy most. Not earth shattering in scope or size, just a fun little school-life rom-com. Art, very well done. Dialogue, excellent. Characters, believable, likeable, relatable.

Excellent end to a cute series.
The previous volumes could be vacuous at times, but this volume pulled the story together with pleasant dialogue and a heartwarming end. Nikki Asada has become a mangaka whose work stands out for me for her strong female leads with charming personalities.

I need physical copies of this series. On the one hand, hate that it's over. On the other happy everything happened so quickly because I hate waiting for the couple to come to fruition.
