Again, it there's a chance it's just the translation's fault. Lastly, I feel like the ending was badly executed. There's a chance it isn't the mangaka's fault though it's possible that she had a page limit and couldn't stretch it out as much as she wanted to. Personally it also gives me this bad vibe that the mangaka wanted to focus on the romance way too much to the point of disregarding the development that should come before it. It hinders the impact of the characters' feelings and the story itself. The story rushes too much to reach the climax, when the girl's already a high school student. It's not that big of a deal though, since most of the story's development happens when the girl is already a teenager.Īctually that's also another flaw. Although it might be just the translation's fault (and I hope it is too, for the sake of people who hype this story way too much). One annoying thing for me is how the girl who's supposed to be six years old (nine years old later) sometimes acts like a teenaged girl. I will say that the backgrounds are a lot better here though, and that should be expected of the fantasy genre. It still suffers the some of the flaws of the last story, especially the few and unvaried facial expressions (although the characters still seem to have a bit more personality here at least).

Honestly everyone makes a buzz about this because it's so tragic and it just so happened to have a movie adaptation. Oh well, decent read for a shoujo anyway so 7 for this.Ģ. The art part of storytelling is crucially important if the words aren't as great, and the story suffers because translations of manga on the internet usually aren't that great compared to official translations. Because there are only so few facial expressions, it's hard to really grasp the character's feelings without the help of their words or their blushing. On the downside though, I feel that because of the said plainness, the impact of the story is lessened by a lot. Nice way of showing that it's just a simple story about a normal guy and a normal girl. The hair isn't big and the foreheads aren't big either.
The characters' faces are plain, without too much eyelashes or sparkles. Speaking of art, its plainness actually makes a great slice-of-life feeling too. Overly plain heroine with little characterization, the backgrounds are meh, and so on. The story better than your usual shoujo angst, but it still suffers the same flaws. Having rare blush moments makes those moments more meaningful, and creates a nice slice-of-life atmosphere at the same time. What I appreciate is that blushing isn't so obvious all the time, because when it is noticeably dark, I can tell that that character must be really embarrassed.

The the last two stories are pretty irrelevant now, and it's a pain in the ass to write more full length reviews.īasically your typical shoujo fare about a normal girl who meets a delinquent guy. I believe the second story is overrated, and I want to express why I think so 3. Reviewing the first story will give you a primer on the mangaka's style of storytelling 2. I'll just share my detailed reviews for the first two stories though, and just have some short reactions to the latter two.
I've read all four of the one-shots, and I have mixed reactions for all of them. The reprint contains the identical title story as chapter 1 (Hotarubi no Mori e), and three additional new stories: But things will never be the same as they were in their innocent days. (Winter story) About a sister and brother who reunite because their family decides to get together again after 8 years.
