Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Why da hate towards Suiren? I think she's one of the best female leads I've seen in a while. Okay not the best, but at least I'm not running away from my laptop because of the idiotic choices that were made. I'm not annoyed with her personality at all and considering her childhood trauma I think she's changing. It may be slowly, but that's how it is in real life and that's what I love about this manga. Sure her beauty isn't realistic, but that's a different story!
Her lack of facial expressions and words doesn't mean that she's acting like a doll. There are people who are naturally silent and socially awkward, this is why when she says her little words/phrases and smiles ever so slightly (or wholeheartedly in the most recent chapters) it makes the moments precious. Also, because she was introduced as a shy character, it makes the most recent chapter released (12) even better.
Not only did she ask him once to go with her to see the fireworks. She did it TWICE, three times if you include her pointing at the poster and not saying anything. My little Suiren has grown up ;A;
I think the male lead is awkward in a good way too! He has his moments when I think he's a loser for acting the way he does in front of Suiren when he's nervous, but that's what makes it so much better. My boyfriend sometimes acts the way he does when he's embarrassed, I find it adorable <3
This is to those who say the development is slow. It is slice of life, most slice of life mangas are slow paced, like Love so Life (an amazingly adorable manga as well if I may add!). If she were to suddenly change and become extremely aggressive after two chapters, I bet there would be someone complaining about how the pace of the story is too fast. I guess you just can't make everyone happy. However, I'm loving this manga and looking forward to the next chapter. So I hope you'll pick it back up.
