House of the Sun, Volume 1
by Taamo
Atsumori-kun's Bride-to-Be
More shojo which I love but this is the weakest of Taamo's work for me. I'd suggest House of The Sun (3 stars) or the newer I'm in Love and It's The End Of The World (4 stars). A country girl wants to escape her hometown and have her own life in the city and not be married off and have her life dictated to her. A chance meeting with a handsome city boy and a pact that they make helps push her to commit to leaving home for Tokyo to go to school there and work to have better and more. I was with this volume until the second half---it fell flat for me and any blossoming agency the main character had evaporated. Very disappointing. I understand the flaws in characters--that a female lead character is working to figure out who she is with having a personality and navigating the world as a teenager but I just couldn't get into this one.
