Maybe that'll be my new year resolution, seeing as how I haven't bothered to choose anything else....>.>
You know those mangas, movies, stories even songs that are so sweet and romantic and pure that it melts your heart? Well this is one of those.
At first I thought it was just like every other shoujo manga, that i'd enjoy, but that wouldn't have much of an impact on me once it's done- but with this one there was something new right off the bat!
IT'S THE GUY WHO'S THE NARRATOR!
AND HE'S THE ONE WITH THE UNREQUITED LOVE!
Ninomiya-Kun.
He's talented, rich and of course incredibly handsome. All the girls love him and he knows it.
But then one day he crashes into the tiny, cute girl named Emma.
Her reactions shock him as she doesn't seem to sway over him like all the other girls, turns out she has someone else she likes.
This catches his attention, he begins to watch her constantly. Tries to get her attention and gets pissed when she's with another guy. He's not some stupid dense guy that can't understand what he's feeling, he recognises his attraction towards her, in particular, her smile.
Which he tries hard to protect, even causing himself heart break to make sure she can continue to smile.
I really enjoyed reading the guys inner thoughts. He thinks about her all the time, but how he does is what gets me. He never thinks anything bad about her, just craves her attention.
He knows her.
It takes awhile but he starts to change her tune towards him. Sparks begin to fly but OH! She's a decent girl with real emotions and sincerity so when she realises her feeling are changing she feels terrible. She hates herself for her changing feelings and believes herself to be insincere because of it. She cares about others and how she makes them feel.
Eventually, the two come together like in every great love story.
And i've never been so convinced of the love and romance between a manga couple.
The way he looks at her....
So needless to say the art is fantastic. The emotion really comes through and the characters are pleasing to look at and noticeable! Sometimes you'll read a manga where too many of the characters look alike and it can become confusing.
I loved the story with it's heart throbbing romance.
I loved the way it was written showing the guys thoughts and feelings over the typical girl's narration.
I loved the art.
I loved the personalities of the characters.
Great manga, it's short but wonderful!
