Love Letter from...

Oh this is one of the better mangas from Aruko, it has a total story, the first and second was great, the drawing was somewhat better than a oneshot Aruko did, Aruko likes to draw the main male and female character in a certain way that the female would have a more round-ish face and te guy, an elongated face haha, overall I enjoyed all of it, just the last one was at first a bit hard to understand, as it has three stories, suddenly going back and forth is real confusing, but after a few pages, I finally remember all the characters' names, well at the end it was hmm ok too 🙂

I absolutely loved this manga. Its honest and laidback in its story, but manages to do what it was meant to do perfectly.

Love letter from... reminded me of sleepless in seattle, in the way both the protagonists who are not even acquainted develop affections for each other.

I also adored the last story. It reminds you sort of that relationships don't always work out. They take the time and commitment to succeed. The one shot represented 3 different relationships at the same time. The ending may not adhere to the shoujo manga tagline of "happy every after", but it was quite realistic in its own right.

Whirlwind of emotions.

This collection was definitely worth reading. It's one of those rare Shoujo mangas, that can live without going over the top and just creates short impressions of someones love, without leaving the reader feeling empty or longing for more.

"Loveletter from..." was a good intro, although for me it was sometimes playing with the feel of the main character crossing a personal line of a stranger rather boldly. Still it was charming, how the characters seem to grew closer without actually being placed together or having them interact with each other directly.

"Diorama" had some nice twists in it, but might have been the most predictable of the stories included. Anyways, even that matches the first love theme somewhat and maybe this is just my opinion on this. Also - It was the most fun read and the jokes between the main characters have been pulled off pretty well.

"Tsuki wa Yume o Miru ka" reminded me of a whirlwind. Different characters and many emotions have been thrown in this and at first made me expect things getting a bit chaotic, but that didn't really happen. It was a good ending for the collection, showing many sides of love and possibilities, what love can turn into - or become.

In short: The drawing style was just as appealing as the storylines, so I'm wondering how this series doesn't get more feedback here. Sighs.
