I really enjoy reading Nanba-sensei works so my review may sound bias but, seriously, Ao Natsu gets better!!! It slammed Tonari No Atashi (another work of Nanba-sensei) off the number 1 on my romance/slice of life list!!!!

I love every part of Ao Natsu! It covers that "summer love" experience with having a "fateful encounter". It's really sweet and definitely a representative for the genre "slice of life" especially to those readers who are conflicted with either chasing your dreams or fulfilling expectations placed on you by your family or the community. Like I think most of us can relate to it.

There will be drama but it's not too bad!!! There will be new romantic rivals for both the male ad female protagonist but none of them are THAT terrible to the point that you want to throw stuff at your monitor.

I am updated/recent with it because it was super awesome to the point that I literally spent hours looking for raws! Luckily I found them!

I can assure you that you won't regret reading this manga!

Yup, that's exactly how this manga felt like.

It's lay low, characters are interesting and honest especially Rio.
There's nothing too extravagant about it, but it's the atmosphere that makes it lovely.
Just like the plot, set in summer vacation, you'd feel like you're on a vacation too, and there you meet new friends and a start of something...(The film Grease, haha.)

Although there's probably going to be a little drama. I'm looking forward for more.

Nice and sweet.
