I've been given an arc through NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

This was your classic shojo manga with the shy, quiet girl falling for the most popular guy in school. The art was really pretty, I'll give it that. Especially the scene towards the end with the night sky and all those stars, gorgeous. 

Something that I don't like and that is very common in many shojo manga is the insta love. Although, I'll admit, some scenes were cute despite the rate at which the story was developing. 

I also enjoyed the storyline about the falling of the stars' author! 

Thank you Kodansha for trusting my opinion!

I received a copy of The Springtime of My Life Began with You, volume 1, by Nikki Asada from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is the start of another manga that I will be adding to my list of manga to read and follow. I really like these charming and funny shoujo manga and I thought that this was a good start. There are a lot of mystery to the character of Takasago that I’m curious about - as of right now, I’m not sure I understand his intentions with Suehiro but I am definitely intrigued by his backstory and what may happen for the two main characters from here.

Thank you to Kodansha Comics for the e-galley of the book via NetGalley.
