A review by randomly_kait
Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 12 by Mika Yamamori
Spoilers spoilers spoilerrrssss
Listen, this series took me on a roller coaster of thoughts and emotions.
I liked Mamura and Shishio both quite a lot. But I spent a lot of time rooting for Mamura even though, in my head, he was quite clearly the second male lead and therefore wouldn't get the girl. Which is pretty much par for the course when it comes to my taste in shojo manga men.
SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE THAT IN THIS BOOK SHE TURNS DOWN SHISHIO and his confession because she's decided that Mamura was the one she belongs with because he's been her rock for forever. I was literally so happy I cried. But then I was so sad for Shishio... Because, like, he didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't bad or mean or anything like that (well, except you know, trying to get into a relationship with a minor...) But he took it well.
