My Love Story!!, Vol. 13 by Aruko, Kazune Kawahara
5.0
Such a good ending to this series! I was so worried about a cliched epilogue, but in a series all about being your genuine self, I should have known it would know better. A wish for his best friend to find someone like he did in Yamato is far more true to this series and to Takeo's love story.
There is so much to love about this series. The emphasis on communication, the integrity of its characters and their relationships, the realism of conflicts while maintaining the fun. I have never gotten to read a love story manga that spent about as much time on the romance as it did on character development and relationship development between other characters. They spent a lot of time writing one of the best male friendships I have ever read! Because his friendships, family, and personal struggles... all still exist when he is in love, and you have to praise an author who makes a point of that! When they had cliches, they were made far more natural like things that could actually happen (e.g., "potential" love triangles that are actual realistic and not forced). The plots and story were always well-structured. There was hardly a scene that made me think that it was unnecessary unlike some other manga. It was also funny because it was real even when it was outrageous!
Some of the last conflicts didn't fit as well with the story, but I don't think they took away from the story much. It's hard to pick out anything truly wrong with this series. It is honestly one of the best shoujo manga and manga in general I have read.
Final Volume: 5☆
Series: 5☆
