Well, I mean the complete 9 volumes in Japan, that is.
I saw the raws up until the final 64th chapter.
I won't try and spoil anything (since I can't be too sure if I understood the whole plot line going on in the raws to begin with), but I will say that out of all of this mangaka's works, this one just has to be the best one, only because of her IMPROVED artwork.
Tajima-sensei's story lines are still typical as ever. I may not have read any of her other works, but after reading so many ratings, I don't think I will or else I'll get too sunk into wanting to reading them for no utter reason other than the sheer, typical curiousity that a shoujo-reader gets.
Anyhow, this series started off cute, but right from the beginning, things were pretty rushed...
I think Nanoka suddenly falling for Kou without that much contact or experience with him is utterly ridiculous (well, in my opinion), but this is a typical shoujo, so I guess it can't be forbidden. Still, Nanoka didn't even spend that much time with him. So is it just because of his looks or the way he blushes/is concerned for her that she just "instantly" falls for him?
Other than the fact that the main romance was rushed at the beginning of the story, there's nothing much more to expect from the characters. I mean, if you've only read the scanlations up until now, I'm sure you're probably noticing some small bits coming from Aoi (if you know what I mean). Everything else is just dragged on with other characters interfering for jealousy and other typical shoujo happenings...
I still can't believe this mangaka's works drag onto more than 4 volumes... but for this one to go as far as 9 volumes is something I don't think is logical.
I mean, it's just the same couple going through hardships in the story just to get their love back together... and not to mention, they're ridiculously annoying, especially when Nanoka just has to cry every time you try to look away...
I would've like this manga SO MUCH BETTER if only the main romance of the story wasn't as rushed... Since the main romance is going to drag on throughout all 9 volumes, it'd be best if they slowed down the romance meter just in time for more logical and sweeter moments, rather than your sensationally, typical shoujo romance.
Well, I won't give too much of a good rating for this manga since the huge downfall for me was the rushed romance, but other than that, the artwork kept me going as far as I'm concerned.
