ひるなかの流星 1 [Hirunaka no Ryuusei 1] by Mika Yamamori

4.0

Tbh this might be the first time I'm disappointed in a typical love triangle in a Shoujo Manga. I loved the first 8 or so volumes but then Suzume and Shishio break up and well……it just doesn't turn out as I expected. Sure the third last chapter annoyed me, but then I got surprised by the ending even though I understand the reasoning. I liked Mamura as a character, same as Shishio-senseI and Suzume. But wow, you know in a way, there is a really realistic feel to the way this story ended (and by god I will admit I loved this story a whole lot more compared to Moe Kare <---- I really hate that Manga btw even though these two are slightly similar). But well the pairing I reallu shipped just didn't happen so yeah. I give the beginning and majority chapters 4/5 but I give the LAST volume 1/5 because I'm disappointed in the tie up. It seemed messy at times, yet only the last few pages solidified the meaning of Suzume's feelings. But still I didn't love her choice. Of course this is just my opinion and I'm in one of those moods where I wanted to read something light and typically predictable. Oh well, in a way I guess I saw it happening, but I still hoped!
