ひるなかの流星 12 [Hirunaka no Ryuusei 12] by Mika Yamamori
4.0
Probably the best, most desirable end to a shoujo manga. I finished this manga in a day - and I loved it.
In the middle I was really REALLY frustrated (because I was rooting for Murama (I don't like his first name much lmao xD) from the beginning), because Suzume was constantly head-over-heels for Satsuki. I didn't hate Satsuki until he showed hostility to Murama. I really liked Yuyuka's character development, and Inukai's extra chapter was so cute!!
What I really enjoyed was the character development in the last few volumes after Suzume is trying to get past Satsuki. I was annoyed at Tsubomi for trying to push Satsuki on. When Satsuki confronted Yuchiki-san I thought that Yuchiki threw the sake bottle at Satsuki!!
Anyway, Suzume proved to be a good protagonist (although in the middle I was face palming 99% of the time at her decisions). I originally thought that Murama's reason for being hostile and embarrassed around girls was something extreme - like rape or abuse or something - but it was minor (which was a WEE bit of a let down for me - because it would have shown MASSIVE amounts of character development if he had been abused, and chose to open up to Suzume about it... But I don't really care about that at the end of it all).
OVERALL: Definitely worth reading - even all the agonizingly annoying parts. It makes the end that much more satisfying and WORTH IT!!!
I'm so happy I read this - and EVER HAPPIER THAT FOR ONCE, MY SHIP IS THE ONE THAT SAILED!!! Bless you Yamamori-san!
