Suzuka

Description

From Del Rey:
Yamato is ready for a fresh start. So when his aunt invites him to stay rent-free in her big-city boarding house in hustling, bustling Tokyo, Yamato jumps at the chance. There's just one teensy-weensy catch: It's an all-girl housing complex and spa! Things get even more nerve-racking when Yamato meets his neighbor Suzuka, a beautiful track-and-field star. She's not just the cutest girl Yamato's ever met, she's also the coolest, the smartest, and the most intimidating. Can an ordinary guy like Yamato ever hope to win over a girl like Suzuka?

While it started with a good plot and interesting characters, it develops in a lame way that doesn't has any sense at all, the situations that the characters go through are too forced and most of the times ends up in a bad way, also the characters not being honest with themselves is something that nobody can't stand, besides the main characters is too stupid, to the point that it' doesn't even have sense how stupid he is, not knowing about anything, unsure, unsafe, the worst in my opinion, also his choices were always bad being selfish and only caring about himself.
Anyways, there are some good characters but no the main characters.. it would have been a story with a good developing, with an actual character with a dream, meta, etc, and to finish this, it's one of the worst endings I've ever seen, the reason the characters don't reach their dreams makes the ending so stupid and bad, maybe it seemed that they did their best to have a good life but it was just a bad plot, too normal. I'm sure everyone like complex situations and this didn't have one. Worst main character ever to the point of ruining Suzuka's career.. what was the author thinking..

Not a simple plot, tells the difficulty of a boy to become good at sports for one love and to overcome the difficulties that arise.

I have to agree with Rhadaze: Suzuka + Strawberry 100% = Would be the Master Piece

Picked it up at the right time

You honestly have no idea how much I LOVE this manga. Seriously, I could not put it down. My #1 favourite romance manga. Kept me guessing right up until the end. I was pretty much with Yamato from beginning to end trying to decipher the mind and actions of Suzuka. I felt every single one of his emotions because around the time of reading I loved a girl who very much reminded me of Suzuka, and I was pretty much Yamato trying to keep up with her. I am very much like Yamato, btw. Suzuka was an unsafe harbor, because usually I have SOME idea what a girls thinking; but not with her. I couldn't tell a damn thing she was thinking or what thoughts were behind her sad face. Little did I know that it was a mask hiding her true feelings! I honestly felt for Yamato so much, because shit she seemed so out of left field. It was exactly the same as with the girl I loved that I couldn't keep up with.

Not only were her thoughts vague, but I couldn't even tell if her actions fit the thoughts or when she was fibbing. At times I wondered if they would work out or not. Their was no communication, like the girl and I. I could definitely understand his impulsiveness and frustration when she hid things (shiz, we all have a limit. Imagine being lost in the black tunnel that was Suzuka's mind) Why couldn't women just come out and say things??

God. Her facial expressions. No wonder why he could never give up on her. Her face is burned into my mind and probably his too.You cannot forget people like that. The sheer beauty is outstanding. I couldn't help but gawk at certain panels for ages and ages. Especially that face in chapter 112. Jesus, just like her. How the hell can someone look that GOOD when conveying something so heart wrenching for the both of them? I was clenching my teeth just like Yamato! FFS, where was the logic?? Seo Kouji is a genius at facial expressions. The warmth exuding from those eyes left me stricken.

When Suzuka started revealing the inner workings of her mind I was still a bit lost here and there until I got the whole puzzle sorted. Why can't women just come out and say things?? In Suzuka's case, she was pretty much hiding everything. Never being blunt until Yamato reached the point of no return (cue shit face). When she explained herself, I began to love her character and realized what I could have been doing better with my own unrequited love (though it might not be unrequited). I thought it was a myth but women are truly sensitive animals and are not to be taken for granted.

Also, who else found Honoka annoying? Every chapter featuring her, I wanted to push her out of the panels and tell Yamato to get his head IN THE GAME! We're trying to stubbornly figure out the workings of Suzuka's mind! Not pick up women; there would be plenty of time for that if he failed. Sometimes I was truly worried it wouldn't work out between the two of them. I had to reassure myself that the book was called "Suzuka" and not "Honoka" haha. I also found Yamato's lack of loyalty kind of annoying. He was giving up too soon I felt, but I could sort of understand because he wasn't completely roped in yet. After your roped in, there's no escaping haha.

Lastly because this is getting too long, the feeling of realism during the whole entire series added so well to the story. Her change in lifestyle was a slap out of nowhere and seemed so quick but hey, that's life. I didn't like that Yamato was so easily influenced, but I guess it was for story progression. It was a short series after all.

P.S. If you ever love someone who you can't figure out and are so different from you, keep on it. It's one of the most rewarding things and comes with the best feelings life could ever offer. After you love someone like that, you'll never be able to settle loving someone boring who is very like you, trust.

This manga started off kind of weird (way too much ecchi-ness), so even if you don't like that type of stuff, I HIGHLY recommend that you stick through it. I give you my word that it'll get better. The plot develops quite quickly with only a few side-stories and "other" main character developments. There will be times where you'll want to just throw the manga away (or close your browser), but I stuck through it for some reason... and I'm EXTREMELY happy that I did so.

Suzuka is easily one of the greatest mangas I have ever read. It's truly an amazing Romance manga mixed well with the Sports genre (Track and Field). Right now, I really hope I can find another manga that'll live up to this.

Suzuka isn't a bad manga. Through and through it has its good points. Points that make motivated to watch how things progress. But in the end some characters develope and the 2 most important characters don't (IMO). If you're into plot that just reruns itself this is for you. If not I suggest no getting involved.

This is the first manga i came across that is very realistic in relationships, well think about it.

There is a lot of situations in this manga that can easily happen in real life. also the characters are well balanced and the art is just great!

agree with almost what everyone said about this manga and how its not like love hina. since im a track and field athleth, and a sprinter too, this manga has made its place ot become my #2 favorite romance manga, #1 being i"s, just because it has track and field in it.

but OMFG!!!! the main female lead annoys me!!! i just want to hit her!!!

although it starts out with a similar premise with that of love hina, it quickly turns into a much deeper and emotional manga. a fun read with lots of intense moments. overall a very good manga. highly recommended
