My first Adachi's manga.  
by kzh01

Rating: 8.0  / 10.0
I'd like to say that this manga was a bit boring in all honesty but it wasn't that bad. It tells the story of an average guy named wakamatsu masato, with her sister named Miyuki, who also coincidentally has the same name with masato's crush, also called Miyuki. After being seperated for 6 years, she has changed and grown into a beautiful girl who masato doesn't recognize at first glance. And yes you guessed it right, they're not related by blood.

Now about the plot, Even though it seems that this is one of adachi's manga that doesn't have any kind of sport filler in it so adachi fast forward the time a bit quick to move up the plot than I would like it to be. There's some annoying character in it like the teacher and the father of one of the MC's love interest. They're doing this running gag of men being perverted morons like touching, stealing panties, peeking,etc. But considering the time when this manga was released, I could somehow tolerate it. It might distasteful to you but that's probably what mangakas used for their gags in shounen manga back in the 80s, anyway I digress. The point is there's a lot of filler with the running gags, and in the MC is being a wishy-washy kind of guy, up until the end you won't know who's he gonna choose cause up until that point he never really show any kind of SPECIAL affection or preference to either of his love interest. So it'll definitely make you sit at the edge of sit, well at least at the last 2 volume or so, cause the 1st-10st are just filled with fillers, well there are development but like I said, you won't be able to tell who's masato going to choose in the end from just reading the first volume, unlike many shoujo manga.

As for the art, it's typical Adachi's art from what I've seen from snippets of Adachi's Manga in reddit. It has the same art style like any other contemporary manga in the 80's. I like it personally, arts from the 80s feels, nostalgic to me, not too many features on the face or hair and overdramatic face reaction like today's manga.

Would I recommend this to you ? Well if you like adachi and want to see his manga without any sport filler by all means go ahead. For those of you who are new to adachi manga, well now you know what to expect if you read my insight about the plot above

It's by Adachi.

It's by Adachi. That should be good enough explanation to read it. He is the master of slice of life and light romantic youth manga. There's never a lot of dialogue but there's always something going on, and you really grow to appreciate the characters.

That's probably why the ending for this manga is a bit annoying to me, but I don't want to spoil anything. I just did not like the way Adachi treated one of the characters.

But overall it's an amazing piece of work.

Some people say the lack of a sports element hurts it and that's just not true. The sports in most of Adachi's work are filler. The only one where the sports element is completely in synch is cross game. In the others he tends to forget about it or really fails to make it interesting. Cross game is the only other manga by him that's as good as miyuki.

With the lack of a sport, you can see this as the purest adachi romance story, so you get more of what you like. Of course, it's all built around the guy's good humour. Each chapter is individualized, which again, gives you more stuff.

Anyone left feeling empty?

For some reason, even though it was a "happy ending," I did not feel satisfied (easily at first). Perhaps it's because the manga dragged all the way to the end with both girls. It felt 50/50 (no favoritism) even though it was predictable who would be chosen in the end. Even towards the last few chapters, it felt like something was missing.

Since there was no sports element, Adachi relied heavily on the passage of school years and seasons. Seriously, the seasons went by really quick, and there was no sports filler. Since there was no sports to show the growth, much of it had to be done through monologues and encounters with somewhat annoying (IMO) supporting characters.

The question I have in mind, is if Miyuki knew that there were not blood related all along. But then when I think about it, it's kind of irrelevant. The whole time that they were living together as "siblings" they were actually living as a couple. I think that was the whole point with the baby scene. As that scene was also a foreshadowing moment, as well as the golden rabbit.

I can see why people like to comment, kind of opens up one's thoughts. I feel better about the manga now... =P Pretty good once everything is put together. Remember with Adachi works, you have to consider every chapter and put them altogether. It's not spelled out for you, even in the end. But Adachi does give closure in this one. Once I started from about volume 2. I didn't stop till I finished.

"first love"

It was the very first anime I've ever seen. Back then I was a little kid and had no idea about stuff between boys and girls. It was all totally new. Even after 20 years I still think of this anime / manga from time to time. For me this manga resembles the ideal love. Miyuki is a beautiful, lively and kind girl. The kind of girl who could have everybody for a boyfriend and make him the happiest man in the world. Yet when it comes to Masato she loves him as a brother and as a boy more than anything. He's a good honest guy who cares for his sister, but not as great as a girl such as Miyuki could easily get. Even though she loves him unconditionally for what he is - Masato. Nothing more, nothing less. This pure and unconditional love of this once in a million girl makes it so great. Masato cares for Miyuki not to win her love, he does because he loves her and wishes for even though she would love him anyway. Also this manga has a melancholic mood to me. It's like looking back onto ones youth and telling about the greatest time of their life. How he got that beautiful girl who will make the sun shine every day for the rest of his life. I'm always close to cry when I think about this manga.

i've started getting into Adachi mangas and so far i apsolutely love them. the only thing i hate about them is how all the endings feel incomplete. this ending happened to be the best one in my opinion because it actually brings the romance to a conclusion

I enjoyed this series a lot... considering that the plot was very simple and straightfoward and dragged on for 12 volumes. But for some reason, the ending left me unsatisfied. Although I could see it coming, I still didn't feel like it was developed well enough and shown in the character relationships.

more adachi-ness

the more adachi i read, the more they seem the same. it's always about the doofus main character being strung along by the girl, or in this case, girls, in his life. all in a style and pacing that is an adachi signature. nevertheless, they all have their share of humorous and heart-wrenching moments and remain really readable.

Sweet, funny and heartwarming. Great story and character representation. While the development is lacking, still a good read.
