Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 2 by Mika Yamamori
4.0
I went into my favourite story of Forbidden Planet and they suddenly had loads of copies of all of the recently published Daytime Shooting Star! I ended up buying volumes 2 and 3 on the same day because I did enjoy reading Volume 1 a lot, and then after I read volume 1, Read With Cindy recommended this series so I knew that I had to carry on reading them. I did thought it was weird that my local, small, Waterstones had Daytime Shooting Star before Forbidden Planet but now I'm happy Forbidden Planet stocks them because I got it for 3 for 2!
I really enjoyed reading this book. I feel like it's both not a stereotypical shojo manga, and a typical shojo manga. It's refreshing to ship the main female character Suzume with someone that she doesn't currently have feelings for. I find it refreshing because shojo is the sort of genre where romance between a student and a teacher would be okay to depict, but in this series, you don't end up shipping the romance that the main character wants. I really enjoy that because I do love a good second lead syndrome.
I did like the plot of this book because I felt like things did happen and the characters did develop. I always love it when the manga does the holiday/trip plot line because I feel like that's where the characters grow closer faster.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and so far I would recommend this series!
