The Springtime of My Life Began with You, Volume 1 by Nikki Asada
5.0
Straight of the bat, I can say I just adored this manga. It is quickly established that whilst the Batsu game may be the reason Takasago talking to Suehiro in the first place, it clearly isn’t the reason he continues to want to spend time with her, and as the story progresses you can begin to see as the characters opinions of each other begin to change and deeper feelings begin to develop. The plot moves swiftly and smoothly, meaning that as the reader you get to see and understand why things are happening and learn a little about each characters personality bit by bit.
Personally, I found the character of Suehiro incredibly relatable – she’s a girl that would rather sit and live in her books, rather than having a large group of friends, but she’s also lonely at the same time. This is something that I totally understand, so being able to see this adorable character grow to make friends and realise she doesn’t have to be so alone just warmed my heart. Whilst being popular and confident like Takasago is not necessarily something I can relate to, it was still touching to see how his world gets expanded as he learns about Suehiro and her little world.
