Review covers 86 chapters

Before I start this review, let me ask you all a question. It’s quite simple and if you have been following my blog you’ll know the answer. Do you remember me reviewing Paradise Kiss by Ai Yazawa? I reviewed it as one of the first mangas back in February 2015. But do you remember me mentioning today’s story? Yes, this is one of the stories where the unbreakable shoujo rule of relationship is broken! The heroine stays with the second choice. But let me start from the beginning.

I remember the story left me with deep imprinting only because of the heroine’s final choice, but the again I was following the story for quite a long time hence a lot of stuff was forgotten. I do not know why, but I had this strange urge to reread it again, so here I am writing the review after rereading the story. To say the truth I enjoyed it, but at the same time, I had this feeling that it lacked something. I read it quite fast, though the story is progressing not that fast. It has all the attributes of a good shoujo manga, but I wanted more passion from it. No matter what you say the relationship between Suzume and Shishio-sensei needed more passion. It was bland, and I never has a second thought when Suzume chose Daiki. He’s the character that goes through the biggest character development, and you just adore what he turns into.

Are you up to see the life of a country bumpkin going to Tokyo, find friends and even love? Enjoy a romance of a high schooler and a teacher, though nothing happens it’s still there! Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!

XOXO

Telling me this, at this moment, makes me want to cry even more.”


My heart feels like it's being ripped in two, I'm so torn about who I really like best! This is probably one of the best examples of a well executed love triangle, usually I always have a very strong preference for one person or the other, and it's usually extremely obvious who will ultimately get the happy ending. But surprisingly, Mamura is just as charming as Satsuki, (the scarf scene being a prime example!) just in a very different way. It does still seem like Suzume will end up with Satsuki though (maybe that'll change in the future?). I'll stop rambling now lolol.

Mamura's development and the scarf scene are great! I like that he's decided to not take a backseat.

I'm rooting for you, Mamura!

No sé què pretén la mangaka, però cada cop em treu més de polleguera aquesta sèrie... Ho sento, però no podem acabar junts la noia i el sensei, és que m'hi nego!!!! Ell és un infantil manipulador i ella una fleuma ben curteta i impressionable. Prou patiment :/
