Nekochan's review starts now...
*SPOILER ALERT!*
A man-hater, basically because of how gross they look in her eyes. She adores girls' beauty. No, she's not a lesbian. XD
The narcissistic, already-taken popular guy. XD Who gets frustrated knowing someone can't be charmed by his beauty. o.O He's some kind of a bully, in a different way though. :P
The storyline/story:
Love progress is not fast for Hanabi, most especially for Chikai. They really passed the stage of denial and confusion. It's not love at first sight. I find it nice since, I guess, most of the world's population don't experience (true)love at first sight that most of the manga characters experience. Saying that, isn't this couple realistic?
*Their 1st encounter was short but nice! <- not the usual scenario.
The title:
If I were to change the title, it will be Koibana! Koiseyo Chikai / Love Story! Fall in love, Chikai XD Well, it's because the story is not like making Hanabi fall for a guy (like, Tachibana Mei of Sukitte Ii na yo) But, if the title's like that, Chikai has to be the main protagonist, right? XD
The Art:
It's nice. ♥ But, Chikai's expression seldom changes. XD I find it funny XD
What's in this manga common in other mangas I've read(so far, I've read 22 mangas):
Popular male lead. (the popularity's not over the top though. :P)
What made an impression on me:
The chubby girl character. <-Simply because it's unusual. XD
How irritating Hanabi can be with her hates. @.@
Nanpa and Kuuchan talk! o.O <- I'm preventing myself to actually spoil a lot. You'll discover who is Nanpa as soon as you start reading.
What else?
Their love story is realistic. That's why I love this manga.
Thanks for it! If I could read japanese, I would buy it all. Wait for scanlators is a hard task, they aren't even paid for it =P
ReplyDeleteAbout the manga, well, I don't think it's so realistic, but it's pretty nice =D
I think the love triangle is realistic. :)
