Sumire Syrup - MangaUpdates

The story's not bad it's just not to my liking. I do not like the personality of the main protagonist nor do I like the personality of the love interest but the story is aight. I liked the bonus chapter more than the story personally.

Sumire annoys me in the beginning of this manga, but she does try to change hersef which I admire. If you read this manga don't leave out the side story! It was actually my favorite part of the manga where Sumire's kindness really shines.

just like the typical shoujo romance plot the girl falls in love with the guy who seems very unapproachable yet really cute and hot XP
the romance in this manga is just a bit cutter than the norm

IT WAS SOO CUTE WHEN KEI WAS BLUSHING OMFGG IT MADE ME GO CRAZY ^^ & Sumire was a clumsy yet cute and pure girl yet she should be a bit more open -.-

Cute shoujo

It's only 4 chapters and has all the usual shoujo cliches, but the heroine actually develops throughout the course of the manga. 9/10 because it does well with its shoujo qualities. Fans of the genre should read this one for sure!

Sumire is shy, reserved and indecisive. She is attracted to Kei because he is extremely blunt and straightforward to the point where he's rude (everyone else in the manga openly calls him a nasty jerk, ha!). He openly criticizes her behavior, really voicing Sumire's own insecurities, and it makes her want to be honest with herself and him.

Kei on the other hand finds himself inexplicably attracted to Sumire although she is even MORE "annoying" than most girls (his words, not mine). It's one of those things where her inherent shyness and attempts at being bold bring out his gentle, protective side. It's quite cute because towards the ending chapters Sumire becomes more bold and straightforward while Kei becomes shy and indecisive as he realizes his own feelings!

Definitely could (and should) have been longer.

The side story is from Sumire's best friend, Azusa's perspective. The reader actually realizes that Sumire went for the male version of her friend when it came to selecting a love interest. Azusa and Kei are revealed to have similar personalities (although Azusa admits to being phoney while Kei is brutally honest).

Oh well, the plot is just your typical shoujo manga.
Personally, I don't like those indecisive girls, but I guess the mangaka wants to try something new.. so I can somehow bear with it.

Seriously, what kind of guy would take a girl who just met him several times to his house??

Well, it's only one volume, so I shouldn't expect something much.
