AH THIS SERIES. Period I loved this so much, like I can’t describe it, I binged it for like 48 hours. I love shojo manga and this one is so well written. It’s a love triangle, but not an annoying one and the characters are sooooooo good! I might actually reread it on the plane because I’m so sad there isn’t another volume for me to pick up. It’s like a comfort series and I loved that! My only complaint is she made her decision and that’s valid, we loved it. But you couldn’t give me one kiss with the first love interest? I wanted one kiss with them, one passionate kiss because they had a forbidden love and nothing??? UGH.

P.s. I was right with an earlier review, she did come back to the first love interest momentarily because he did get injured.

What a good ending, I kinda want more though because I want to see them actually in love and at school now but it’s fine.

“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.

SpoilerDon'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.

this was definitely a ride. this last volume really had me worried there for a second when it seemed like suzume would get together with shishio, and i'm grateful that didn't happen. not only do student-teacher relationships make me extremely uncomfortable but also i've been rooting for mamura ever since volume 1. my heart is filled with happines because they ended up together !! it's what they deserve, really.

My favorite manga of all time. If you are not really into manga or "japanese stuff" you should totally start reading this serie.

I just cannot express how much love I feel for this history. Everything in it is amazing, the characters, the plot, the art... omg don't make me start to talk about Mika Yamamori's art.
Everything is so beautiful, the way it flows and how the characters have their own style and you can see it through the entire story.



You can feel how the characters grow throughout the story and how the different situations makes them change.



I don't know. Maybe it's just that I'm really obsessed with student-teacher relationships and this is the first time that I have found one that is not cliché or creepy.



The mangaka played with my heart so many times. I surely can say that is the first time that I didn't know who the protagonist would choose. One moment you think is Sensei, next time Mamura and so on. The most awful part is that you finishing loving them both, and you know that one of them has to win. So cruel ;-;



But well... I just want everyone to read this manga and shout my love for it.
Please, if this review makes you want to read it. PLEASE PLEASE don't look the other reviews. They are full of spoilers!!! -.-

PD: I NEED THIS PUBLISHED IT IN ENGLISH. PLEASE!!! I need it on my shelf
