 Hello mixed feelings!!!

On the one hand, I loved the heroine of the story. Hotaru is incredibly sweet and relatable. I enjoyed seeing her struggle with the idea of romantic love. She seems to be coded as demiromantic and/or demisexual, but I doubt those terms will actually be explored in this particular story. It's still nice to see a different sort of heroine in that sense.

HOWEVER. The male lead is incredibly questionable. It's clear that Hananoi is in love with the idea of love more than Hotaru herself. There's an obsessiveness to the way he treats Hotaru and their tentative relationship. He certainly has some lovely, romantic moments dedicated to Hotaru but they are tainted by his need to be her perfect boyfriend. If this weren't a shojo title and he wasn't set up as the romantic lead, I would have expected him to do a 180 turn into a creepy stalker.

My hope is that as the story develops that Hananoi will grow and change. If done well I could see the narrative becoming more favorable. Still, I will be hesitant as I try another volume.

Der Manga war zuckersüß.
Hotaru ist ein eher schüchternes Mädchen, dass über alles nachdenkt und alles analysiert. Sie ist sehr verkopft und auch ein bisschen naiv. Hananoi verliebt sich in sie gerade weil sie so anders ist. Da Hotaru aber nicht recht weiß was Liebe ist bzw. denkt sie weiß nicht wie sich Liebe anfühlt, einigen sie sich darauf ein 'Beziehung' auf Probe zu haben, wo Hananoi sie umwirbt und Hotaru herausfindet, ob sie verliebt ist. Es passiert so gut wie nichts was man jetzt erwarten könnte und trotzdem hat mich der Band nicht an einer Stelle gelangweilt. Alles wird so langsam entwickelt aber es passte einfach. Wirklich herausragend war für mich Hananoi. So einen Charakter habe ich bisher noch kaum in Shojo Mangas gefunden. Er ist auch ein wenig merkwürdig und verträumt. Gerade zu aufopferungsvoll umwirbt er Hotaru und ich fand das alles einfach super süß. Alles war so richtig nachdenklich und emotional und doch irgendwie federleicht. Ich kann es schwer erklären.
Der Zeichenstil gefiel mir auch sofort. Ich mag diese süßen großen Augen der weiblichen Proto und das verstrubbelt Haar und den verträumten Blick des männlichen Charakters. Obwohl hier eher wenig mit Details gearbeitet wird, gefiel mir das ganze und da bin ich sonst kein großer Fan von. Die Gestik und Mimik wurde aber so schön dargestellt, dass mir das schon fast allein reichte.
Ich habe mir noch während des Lesens von Band 1 den nächsten Band bestellt.

Story 4,0/5
Zeichenstil 5,0/5
Charaktere 5,0/5
Emotionen 5,0/5
Gesamt 5,0/5

An interesting idea for a manga series about a young woman who isn't sure what falling in love feels like. The characters are well created and the illustrations bring them to life. I found myself rooting for the two and wanting to know more about them.

Super cute and cheesy. I love it! Definitely fangirling. Hananoi san is kind of obsessive but I still loved it.
