Another great work from Yamamori-sensei!

Honestly, I enjoyed her work in Daytime Shooting Star (DSS), so I decided to give this series a try as well.

In Tsubaki-Chou Lonely Planet, we get more or less the same feel of what we got in DSS. Like DSS, I thought the pacing of the story was quite good. In fact I was pretty surprised that I finished reading the series already. I also thought it was good seeing Akatsuki and Fumi's relationship slowly progress. There were times where I felt the pacing was quite stagnant or felt rushed, but nonetheless, I still thought it was good. Huge age gap aside, you can really see how they both treasured each other. Also, while I understand that Yamamori-sensei MIGHT have wanted to steer clear of the usual shojo tropes, I thought there would not be anything wrong seeing their relationship experience a few bumps. Personally, I thought that the huge age gap could have been utilised more. Irregardless, I still truly enjoyed the series. Indeed, I will continue to look for Yamamori-sensei's work moving forward.

Also, is it wrong how much I enjoyed reading/seeing Aioi and Yoh's relationship MORE than the leads? Honestly, I wish Yamamori-sensei could give us a spin-off manga or more chapters about them. While she did give us quite a few scenes, I would still love to read more about them HAHAHA
