Un día lluvioso de invierno, Hotaru le prestó a Hananoi, un chico de la clase de al lado al que acababan de dar calabazas, su paraguas, y poco después este se le declaró, y ella decide darle una oportunidad. But I feel as though some of the weird things he said were slipped in there for comedic effect and that at his core Hananoi is not actually as serial killer-esque as some of his comments suggest. Hotaru is a 16-year-old high school first year who has always been ambivalent about love, preferring instead to have a lively life with her family and friends. What really works with this story is the realism; the characters, emotions, and situations (for the most part) are true to life.

She turns him down - having, again, ZERO interest in boys - but he shows up in front of school at the end of the day, waiting to walk her home, anyway. I'm thankful that Hotaru has been VERY encouraging that he need not change either and to do the things that make him happy (as well as look out for his own well-being). They're two teenagers trying to figure out their relationship, and though I was apprehensive about the "trial" dating, I find myself really looking forward to the next book.

The main character simply shared her umbrella, and the next day he shows up in her classroom to make his "love confession" in front of everyone. Instead she ignores all of the many warning signs that there's something seriously off with the guy, falling into a relationship with him because he manipulates her emotionally. Not trying to excuse problematic behaviour, but the poor guy just doesn't know how to have relationships of any kind, never mind romantic ones.

He stands outside her house for literal HOURS every morning so he can be sure to walk to her to school.

On the other hand Hotaru seems to be your average naive blushing teen but she maintains a very refreshingly active and positive attitude that’ll no doubt heal the wounds of poor Hananoi.This romance manga is set in high school and has a girl who really doesn't think about love or dating. their communication is beyond amazing, I’m so tired of miscommunication in manga series when they extend the plot for a silly reason that would’ve been solved through talking ;-;. On découvre un Hananoi complètement co dépendant et qui est sans arrêt dans des relations dysfonctionnelles. I won’t say the plot is amazing or anything but it’s entertaining enough, with nice characters, a bit of comedy and good art to boot.

Ay, pues la verdad es que ha sido muy cuqui, pero también tanto cariño por parte de Hananoi tan repentinamente resulta un tanto ¿extraño? Sometimes, slice-of-life high school shoujo manga can be pretty problematic for one reason or another. the way hotaro is such a cutesy and pure character just wanting to find love at her young age is so wholesome.Obviously this is a fiction work, but it seems to stay away from typical over the top-ness of a lot of anime and manga that really made it enjoyable for someone like me, who can find that approach a bit much. This story is a perfectly charming and lighthearted romp as a young girl learns what love truly feels like.
