Waiting for Spring, Vol. 1 by Anashin
5.0
Manga Status: Completed
My Reading Status: Currently Reading/Completed (vol 14 are side stories)
Published English Volumes: 13 Volumes (Vol 14 2021)
Genre: Shojo
Current Overall Series Rating: 4.5/5
Thoughts: I adored this manga! I originally only bought volume 1 because it looked interesting, but I hadn't planned on reading it until much later on. I own so much manga that I've decided, for new additions to my collections, to only acquire the first volume and purchase the subsequent volumes once I decide to make that my next series to read. I clearly did not follow my own rule with this series.
I picked this up on a whim and told myself I'd skim through the pages to see the art. I ended up seeing a beautiful panel that made me intrigued, so I began reading it instead. I binge read this series and bought the next volumes right away because I just needed more! I haven't had a binge like that with a manga for a while, so that just goes to show that I really enjoyed it.
I adore all the characters with every fiber of my being. I also want to note that I generally dislike love triangles, but this one was done so well that I didn't mind at all! There were even times when I didn't know who to root for. The romance is a slow burn but it's done in a way that it feels like so much is happening if that makes ANY sense. It felt oddly realistic to me and I think most people will end up enjoying this. Volume 1 is a great start, but it's not until volume 3 that the series really begins to shine.
