Hi guys today I'm here with another manga review!  (◕‿◕)♡ It's nearly Christmas so I'm enjoying the vibe really much since everything started to look bling bling and all sparkly (￣ε￣＠)

Without further ado, let's jump right into the review!!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Summary: 

Risa Hanakago is a middle-schooler who has never been in love, until one day, popular, sporty Touga Yuugure comes into her life. For these two, suddenly, the world has become a very sparkly place.

My review: 

1. The characters: 

 Hanakago Risa- Main female character. She's a typical shoujo manga girl with big sparkly eyes and always seems really fragile. I really like her despite the fact that she's too clumsy and over-reacting (also overthinking). Risa is also a nice girl who tries her best helping the people surrounding her without any returns. She is the traditional Japanese stereotype girl, however I find her really cute and lovable, a perfect kind of heroine of this manga.

Risa is described as a normal girl, not like really really pretty but a good-looking girl. I don't know if I'm weird but I think she is really cute and might be the cutest girl in this manga!  (//▽//)

Yuugure- He's the prince of the school, literally perfect (Smart, handsome, good fashion style, cool boy,...), every girls are up on him. But no one ever believes that he hasn't loved anyone and Risa was his first love. He's also really mature and cute at the same time, I just like how he always tries his best to help Risa with her problems and be her reliable shelter (*ﾉ∀`*) I like him so so much and he's my ideal type!

Takechi- The second most handsome boy in the school after Yuugure. He has a large amount of fans and also, all girls are going nuts about him. He is friendly and funny. Unfortunately, he somehow fell in love with Risa. It might be because she was so nice with everyone surrounding her all the time without knowing that they're gonna be impressed by her and eventually fell in love with her personalities. Takechi is not an exception. However, he was really concerned if his actions were right and started to act weird around Yuugure. His love for Risa was deep but it's not deep enough to ruin his friendship with Yuugure. He is an awesome guy because he knows how to balance love life and friend life.

Yuko- She is Risa's bestfriend, a cute, sporty and straight-forward girl who has a boyfriend (Haru) from another school. Yuko is always willing to help Risa with her problems and she seems to be the perfect bestfriend a girl could ever have. 

Characters rating: 8,5/10 (Too many side characters that the story started to mix)

2. The plot:

I must say, Risa and Touga's love, it's just too perfect that seems to be unreal. There aren't many drama happens between those two (for example: third wheel, long distance relationship,...), their relationship is just peacefully peaceful. Times by times, days by days, it's just like that, sweeter and sweeter. However, there are small incidents but I can still accept them. I just loved how the manga is split times by times and interleaves past of the characters between. 

If you don't want to stress your mind and just want something softly and not-much-drama, this is the perfect manga for you!

I rate it 9/10 because I like this type of manga <3 

3. The art style:

I fell in love with the art immediately when I started reading chapter 1. It's well drawn in every single details and every characters seems so precise and represent their personalities. For example, Risa is fragile so she has big sparkly eyes and girly curly long brown hair. Yuugure is manly so he has his eyebrows and eyes well drawn also. I love the art and will probably rate it 9,5/10!

Overall thoughts: 

I love this manga so so much and it will probably be on my favourite and recommendation list for a long time! I enjoy watching a love story that is pure, cute and long and this is just the perfect manga for me  (o^ ^o) Also, if youre a fan of side characters's couples so you would probably love this manga cause all the side couples get to each other and there are no one getting sad or anything. It's just a perfect image for the school life of Japanese students and high school students in general.

Overall rating: 9,5/10 <3 

Thanks for reading and MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS <3

Be sure to check the manga out!
