It's so satisfying to finish a series that even though this finale felt a tad rushed I'm not mad at it.

Wanted a quick shojo read and this was it. Nothing groundbreaking, slightly icky with the teacher, but glad she ended up with Mamura. I think it was a good job of conveying the emotions and feelings of a 15-16 year old girl. Still felt they glossed over her teacher too easily. I kinda liked him as a character, but he really was just a sad man who didn't have much going for him and wanted her to make him feel good. I liked his new relationship, but I can't believe she is okay with his past and didn't at least question why he had a relationship with his 15 year old student. Girl stand up. Anyway the cast was cute and I loved Yuyuka. Wish we could have gotten more of her romance!

I'm really happy with the way this ended and I'm looking forward to the bonus story! I was so nervous about what would happen in the middle, but I think the choices that were made fit the characters and the plot very well. This was cute and I liked the characters. It was a good conclusion.

Spoilers spoilers spoilerrrssss
Listen, this series took me on a roller coaster of thoughts and emotions.
I liked Mamura and Shishio both quite a lot. But I spent a lot of time rooting for Mamura even though, in my head, he was quite clearly the second male lead and therefore wouldn't get the girl. Which is pretty much par for the course when it comes to my taste in shojo manga men.
SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE THAT IN THIS BOOK SHE TURNS DOWN SHISHIO and his confession because she's decided that Mamura was the one she belongs with because he's been her rock for forever. I was literally so happy I cried. But then I was so sad for Shishio... Because, like, he didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't bad or mean or anything like that (well, except you know, trying to get into a relationship with a minor...) But he took it well.

“When the stars fall into darkness I will quietly shine for you. During happy times, during sad times, I will always be there for you. Your hand, your smile, your everything. For as many years to come, I shall watch from the place closest to you. My existence will become you daytime shooting star.”
As expected... my heart is filled with both happiness and sadness, because of an ending that is bittersweet. I always knew it would be this way, but that doesn't lessen my tears. Even with that, I still love and adore this story.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Mamura and Suzume, they're adorable together, and in some ways he's better for her, but I just can't let go of my love for Satsuki. He is the 'Daytime Shooting Star', and he always will be. It's kind of funny that when I watch the movie (which I watched before reading the manga), by the end I was rooting for Mamura, yet somehow by the end of the manga I was was rooting for Satsuki. I really am hopeless lolol.tributevictor's review
