A review by absentminded_reader
Marmalade Boy, Vol. 8 by Wataru Yoshizumi

5.0

This series ended well. The art improved over time with some very impressive moments here and there for dramatic effect. Loved the characters. Great story. I highly recommend that you seek this series out. But what made this volume inspirational for me were all the author comments. Yoshizumi was entertaining, informative, and surprising, especially when she ripped on the anime production. In previous volumes she was in high marketing mode, or she discussed ephemera of her daily life. Something about her life when this volume was published allowed her to be more honest. It wasn't all griping, however. I found it insightful into the creation process. I was thoroughly entertained—sometimes even more so than by the story.
