It feels like George Asakura knows her audience and the people in her stories so well. From Negishi, Arai to Ruri, the Sensei, Maki, Shiina, Seiji, Atsuko, every bit was just part of wholesomeness.
I could not stop myself laughing out loud at the part where Arai accidentally passed by seeing Ruri and Sensei hugged. Man, his face was stoned, stoned bad. Haha, and his thoughts oh I didn't see this, I pretend like I didn't see this was just the cherry on top of this outrageously creative manga. I was so wowed by the cleverness in "A Perfect Day for Love Letters". Now I'm even more awed at seeing prolonged version of Asakura's short stories. She's simply a genius at writing these middle to high school love stories. She understands lives there so well. That sometimes, I just might gasp, hey I didn't notice these feelings when I had them. She uncovers those beneath the many layers inside her reader hearts and truly knocks them out.
I prefer this and "A Perfect Day for Love Letters" over "Oboreru Knife" you know. They are just packed of love, of tension, of surge, of sweetness, and of everything in just one chapter, one volume. And you feel so satisfied after reading such fine works of both story and art.
I became appreciative of George Asakura even more after this. And mind the rating, you can kiss my arse goodbye from now. For her case only. For her works only.
