i must definitely say that this is one of my favourite manga i have ever read, because the love being portrayed here is so sincere and fluffy that you can’t help but fall in it too.

i really love the art style in the manga, it’s quite shoujo but not excessive with sparkly eyes and wavy hair, which is really perfect for me. yanagi is just such a big boy crush and kujou is the real black hair beauty (she’s similar to sawako from kimi ni todoke) most importantly of all, their perfect height difference. PERIODT. it gets me every single time when yanagi decides to bend down to kujou’s height and listen to what she’s saying like KSJDJSKDK yes king man i loved that scene (´-ω-`)

but again back to the plot, the manga really does a great job because i did not ever hate any character or find them annoying in any sense, and they are really essential to bring the entire story to a climax. for example, how momoka was motivation for souma to confess to kujou and kujou to realise her feelings for yanagi and go confess too. some characters were really just side characters like the two weeb senpai and maybe even shiori’s boyfriend (i didn’t remember his name at all but it starts with m i think) but really, the important characters were made important and i think the manga was not excessive in chapters (there is development in every chapter/phase.

BUT there is this little part of me that is triggered slightly and only slightly and that is: the characters’ names !! just for example, yanagi started off as yanagi hisato but midstory he suddenly became naoto and was called nao-kun by his mom and family. so i was like whA and i did a little googling and japanese and i found out yanagi hisato and yanagi naoto can actually have the same kanji as the writer intended; 柳 尚人 so i take that as an interpretation/translation error i guess. there is actually a time where kujou calls yanagi naoppe so i guess naoto will be what the author intends? i mean or else hisappe won’t really work right, so i guess i assume. but personally i prefer hisato as a name but whatever yanagi sounds posh as heck so whatever.

and for souma, there is also a change in names. his name changes to kei around the period where hisato changes to naoto (again, if i’m not wrong. also the first name he was given started with m but i forgot again) anyway, i prefer kei because it’s real cute when kujou calls him kei-kun (he’s a fluff omg) but honestly i think it’s fine because other people calls him souma which remains the same throughout.

apart from small translation/interpretation mistakes, i think the manga is so perfect, having read it twice throughout. again, it’s a shoujo so if you are not very interested, you may not find it all that cute (subjective!)

the story ends on a high by showing our all time favourite scene: the wedding, and on top of that added some scenes of them at home having the married couple life which is great too. man i just love the story too much i hope i’m not sounding biased of any sorts.

again, last game is really worth the read because it’s cute as hell. reading it twice did not make me tired from reading, i feel i understand the characters a little more which is great. last game is one on the better known shoujo romance manga, and i also really hope it gets animated ;-; give yanagi a chance to make your heart flutter! hope you enjoyed reading thus far 🙂
