Beautiful

This story is absolutely beautiful. I'm not fond of tragedies but I read it anyway, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Do not let the Tragedy tag scare you away.

Because I like to know who dies ahead of time in a manga, I'm going to put this here.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Kira doesn't die. Nino's bird does.


There were several moments throughout this story that had me in tears. I was also worried about the bird making the story less serious, but that wasn't really a problem and I grew to love him.

10/10 would recommend.

This was exactly what I needed WHEN I needed. Don't let the cliche first two chapters stop you from reading this little gem; It's beautiful. It didn't drag things out when it didn't need to and it has a beautiful underlying story.

Kira-Kun today is the story about an incredibly shy girl who always has a parrot on her shoulder and about a Boy who gets everyone's attention. Both share a secret which in turn sort of connects them. The FMC's secret is that the Parrot can talk and is actually somewhat mature. Whilst the Boy will die in 1 year. So now you have 2 people who share a secret and in turn both people changing each other due to this connection.

Now the FMC is the classic 0 friends, no social skills type heroine. Totally never been done before. Now as you'd expect she hides her face using her hair and when she does show her face (pretty early on) she is like the most beautiful person to date. I think the author was going for a contrast of ugly and beautiful. kinda like an ugly duckling story. But honestly its just down without real passion. Like i didn't enjoy the turning into beautiful swan story that much. Like it was done pretty poorly and too quickly. At the same time i was actually upset we couldn't see her face in the beginning I originally thought the author was going for a self insert by not giving her a face. So you know it happened, its over, im glad we are moving on.

Now this is gonna blow your mind. But the MMC is actually kind of an asshole. I know completely original. I think this is the first Shoujo series to ever pull the asshole boyfriend trope. He's also living right next to the FMC. Crazy i know. I do like the reasoning they gave for assholeness though. I mean if you had only 1 year to live you'll do whatever you want too. The MMC is also a bit of a crybaby. I was pretty shocked about this actually. Like he cries alot.... a little too much. Like im not gonna pretend i eat glass or spit or something in my free time but honestly him crying so much actually kinda pulled the series down. Like when he did cry to stuff that you would also want to cry it doesn't have the same effect because he cries all the damn time. This becomes more of an annoying trait than anything else tbh.

The 2 main issue that this series had was probably the friendship between the MMC and the generic bad guy who is upset that the MMC isn't an asshole anymore. I actually remember the generic bad guy's name Yabe. Its a problem because Yabe obsession with the MMC gets really odd. Its one thing to do it for comedic purposes but its another to make there friendship borderline Gay. Im not gonna pretend that Naruto and Saskue bromance is the best in all of manga but it got the job done and kishimoto who wrote it I felt did an excellent job making them feel like best friends. In here Yabe and the MMC relationship feels more like what a yaoi fanatic thinks male friendship works. The 2nd major issue was the illness that the MMC had. I did not care man. They tried to pull the sad shit card and it had no effect. Its really sad too because its one of the major focuses in the series as a whole. There was also love traingles and bad comedic timings. But overall they weren't that much of an issue. Some of them were pretty fucking hillarious though. Soy sauce made me say lol outloud.

What i liked about the series was the romance though, which as you'd expect is pretty important in a romance story. The romance didn't just get the job done. But it was actually much much better than i'd expected. Look at any of the girl and boy blushing for each other you can literally see the love written all over there faces. The author does such an excellent job of making the character be in love. This is of course partially due to the artstyle though. Which really brings out the happiness and love the characters have. Honestly i can talk about the blushing faces for hours. I will say i liked the Heroine's love face more but maybe its cuz im a guy so my opinion might be a bit more skewed on this one.

Another thing i liked was the talking parrot. That parrot is my spirit animal. Its quite hilarious how this series has 1000 human characters and 1 bird character the parrot ends up being the most relatable thing in the series. I liked it when the parrot was observing and his inner thoughts. Who was just like *don't you pussy out*. *just kiss him you dofus*. **FFS**. These thoughts were really the highlight of the series involving the parrot. Now i don't like how they revealed how he can talk. but you know i considered it a minor issue anyway.
I didn't like it when he was cockblocking though. That was also annoying.

The ending was decent though. It wasn't rushed or anything, i just didn't like how it all resolved. I did like the *ending ending* or the last chapter as it were. It got the job done but you'd still expect something more.

TLDR: Good Romance and chemistry between the main characters and parrot but honestly this doesn't really do anything. The ending shoud've been better, If you really have nothing else to read i guess you can check this out. 5/10

This was a good read: neither overwhelmingly sentimental nor shallow. Although it has a rather dark and heavy story it makes its way quite lightly without making you got depressed through to the end. I like it.

I don't even know why I'm crying. Tears are welling up and nothing sad is even happening. There is something wrong with me. But seriously, this is the sweetest thing I've read in a long time. Nino is a cute little quirky girl full of pure intentions and affection (though sometimes a little too naive). While this would otherwise be a typical fluffy shoujo, the plot's much heavier concept of impending death brings more originality and depth. It's also a little less predictable in terms of romance what will come of the main characters involved because the consequences are more tragic. Despite this, it is a very optimistic and up-beat read filled with happiness. Will be thoroughly enjoying this one!

Art and story direction seems nice so far

I thoroughly enjoyed what's been scanlated of Kinkyori Renai and I'm very keen on gobbling down this title, but I'm really not sure about the direction various secondary characters are about to take and how it will affect the leads' relationship. I know that's part of a good story, you learn something with every couple of chapters, but the mystery which isn't being resolved linearly (about Kira X School Nurse, and the history with his troublesome former classmate) is sort of getting on my nerves right now. Wish it would get scanlated a bit quicker! ^^

So cute... I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. But I can't stop now. I feel like this is going to be The Fault in Our Stars all over again.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't something so good. I'm in love with the 5 chapters that are translated to english. I wish Chibi Manga to continue with this proyect. I want to keep reading and to discover more of this story! =)

Kay, I'm not into tragedy very much to be honest, but this story is amazingly cute and unpredictable. However, I really hope there will not be a sad ending like every dramatic tragedy. I understand it would be more realistic that way, but I don't want neither of the main characters to get hurt at all since this is still a shoujo manga. Like the time I read "I give my first love to you"'s last chapter, I actually cried like crazy. Sighs. I really don't wanna read N volumes just to see a sad ending, things like that.
