momoyoon's review against another edition
3.0
So, this is a short review for all the manga. Okay, so at first I loved this manga (the first volume was really good) but then, for me, it started to get boring and repetitive (especially since the two were always fighting like oh my god guys) but I guess the ending was good. I liked it, but definitely not my favorite shoujo.

I was, um, kind of extremely disappointed with this volume. I really wanted to like it, I was really hoping it would be good. And it wasn’t.
I think my biggest problem is that I just don’t believe in Karin and Kiriya. They’re cute together, I guess, they have fun and get along sometimes. They have disagreements and move past them. They’ve matured, some, since the beginning. I just don’t believe they’re ready or mature enough. I mean, their story ends with a proposal and a wedding and everyone happy, which I guess is what people wanted, maybe? I didn’t want that. I wanted them to separate, grow a whole lot in themselves and their place in the world, and then maybe go back to each other. I mean, in this volume, they take a trip together and then Karin gets depressed when he leaves her alone for a couple of hours. That doesn’t show me that she knows who she is or how to be sufficient on her own.
I just don’t think they’re ready to be together forever, to devote themselves to the other person for the rest of their lives and yada yada yada. I don’t believe that they’re mature enough, or that that was the right ending for them. I can’t say I was surprised, though, because that was obviously where the story was going.
I think that’s really all I had to say about this volume. It upset and disappointed me, and I’m glad I read it but I’m also glad that it’s done.

Reread - Why do all shoujo mangas I have read have rushed endings!!! Overall this manga was not perfect, the characters did very stupid things and also said stupid things. I hate plots where you encounter jealous characters that do mean stuff and then the main character just befriends them??? But I still really loved this manga, I know most of it is nostalgia but who cares I guess, I still love it after all this time, 4.5 stars :)
