LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

one of the best love triangle found in manga or sometimes even better than those in novels

and the characters! I love the characters so much! even all the side character! even the second LI! every single character in this manga has a special place in my heart

ah! the ending though! I just can’t believe it! it’s so dang cute! so sweet! everything I hope for!

I feel like you guys probably could hear my enthusiasm through my words, and you should read it. totally recommend!

love this so part, although must say that there are some time that I just didn’t felt like wanting to read the manga. and that’s mostly because all manga I get bored for it easier than I am for novels. don’t know why. it just happen

BUT I STILL LOVE THIS SO MUCH! LOVE THIS AUTHOR! LOVE THE CHARACTER! THE PLOT HAS SO MUCH INTERESTING THINGS!

oh forgot to add: I read this online and if I could find the physical copies I’ll buy them. but my review for this is basically my review for all 10 volumes in this story.

Es como volver a leer Aoha Ride. Los personajes son idénticos lol.

OMG OMG OMG I didn't see any of this coming!!
I love Io Sakisaka! Her stories make me feel alive. Alive, not in a frustrated way looking back to things I would've loved to do in a different way but about how you wish things would had been.
Ninako is so clumsy and clueless, still you understand her and follow her.
But as I said at the beginning I didn't expect any of this to happen! So much plot twists! I'm not sure if everything happened too fast or if I read too fast. The thing now is that I'm too excited to see what'll happen

Brainless and fluffy.
It's not Ao Haru Ride but I really liked Ren and Takumi's friendship.

The world knows I'm not into romance stories and cute little things... But Ninako was just so adorable and clueless that I couldn't resist.

emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

While this is perfectly pleasing as a cute manga, and I may continue it at a point where I just need to read fluff, the characters weren't all that unique. I feel like I have read this before - plot and characters - so it just didn't interest me enough to continue on immediately.

A wonderful story about recognizing love for the first time. Kind, likeable characters. Beautiful art, as always from Sakisaka. I would love for Ninako and Ren to emd up together, but this volume would have been good even as a standalone story. Loving someone else has worth even if they don't return the feeling.

I have read manga from long time. I started back in 2010-11, before which I used to watch anime. I still do. I think this is where my interest in the Japanese culture has grown from.
I have read enough genre especially enough of shoujo to know that perhaps Strobe Edge is my second most favorite, right after La Corda d'oro which has a special place in my heart due to all the memories and nostalgia it holds.
The story is straight, there is no unnecessary drama. It's sweet and it's bitter. So much that I finished the entire Manga of so many volumes in one day just yesterday and today I want to reread it.

I have never written review for any manga before. I probably won't write for any in future. Manga and anime have a very niche category of followers. I can finally accept that I am one of them. Since forever. 10/10 I WON'T recommend it to anyone because it is something special to me and not subject to judgment by other people. Strobe Edge though, is a lovely manga indeed.
