This is the review of the whole series.
Ao Haru Ride is probably one of the best shoujo mangas I have ever read! The story is really good, with big twists and a solid love story. The characters are very realistic and the manga explains their personalities in depth. Plus, another positive is that it concluded all characters' stories and not just the main ones. In addition, unlike many manga which just end after the couple confesses, this one takes the reader a step further and gives us a few extra chapters where we can see the relationship blooming. The love triangle was definately a killer, with the two boys being equally adorable and perfect candidates. That said, the illustration was wonderful as well, and I especially appreciated the chapters when we had two povs at the same time, just like in movies. The only flaw I could find in it was that it got a little boring in the middle of the story, but it quickly recovered. So, 4 out of 5 stars.
