Will definitely contain spoilers in it


In the beginning I thought the manga was cool, normal like other shoujo manga and it is, but the art is absolutely beautiful so I kind of fell in love with the manga as I kept going. I'm normally the type that ships the first and most obvious pair in any type of romance manga, anime and books, so if you have read the first chapter, our first main characters will be satsuki shishio and yosano suzume. I like suzume as the main character, she's expressionless and not your average generic female mc, and I really like satsuki being paired up with suzume. He is a teacher who doesn't act like a teacher, does that make sense? Idk that's how I feel

I really liked those two being together, satsuki chooses a nickname 'chun chun' for suzume was very cute in my opinion, and it really surprised me when he shown up as a teacher in suzume's class, I thought it would be a secret teacher and student relationship and it made me more interested in the manga, but around the second quarter of when they started their relationship, I kept thinking that they really have to overcome this status problem of being a teacher and a student, like maybe wait until she's older and out of high school to officially become a couple or something

But no

everything sort of went downhill for me in the entire second half of the manga. The other male main character which daiki mamura has developed feelings for suzume as she is the only female that has ever gotten so close to him, that I can understand his reason for falling in love with her. I don't dislike mamura but I also don't like him, especially when he gets close to suzume. It kinda sounds clingy but that's how I really feel, the fact that I can only see suzume and satsuki together make it impossible for me to accept mamura as another romantic interest for suzume.

In the first half of the manga I thought that the manga is good, but it's going too good, that's when suzume's uncle showed up, he found out about their relationship and pressured satsuki to think about their status. I was kind of pissed at him but have to agree because reality is like that. After thinking a lot, satsuki decided to end this relationship convincing himself that this was for the best (I can understand putting myself in his shoes, but don't you think it's kind of cowardly?), even lying to suzume when she said "do you love me?" In which you know/can guess how he replies.

After the first half, i decided to keep my hopes up, thinking that they will be together at the end.

But the authors completely kicked satsuki out of the entire second half of the manga, where he only appears 2-3 pages per few chapters, like they forgotten all about this character called satsuki. I was sort of despairing, desperately wanting to skip all the chapter and find out who suzume ends up with but i kept going, until the last chapter

In that very chapter, hearing her answer to satsuki's final confession, all hope was gone. I kinda just quit reading the rest of what the manga is gonna show, since it's the final chapter I don't think I'm gonna be missing anything anytime soon, although I contradicted my self cus I can't stand dropping out midway and finished the entire thing, was real tough for me

overall I think this manga is good in the first half, and absolutely boring in the second, why?think about it, most shoujo mangas mc are high school student, I think I had my fair share or reading shoujo mangas to find all the clichés and overused scenes, with both of them, suzume and mamura being high school students, and in the same class, it's just gonna go down the same routes of the shoujo mangas I have read

that's why I rate
the story :5/10 (first half good, second half bad)
The art: 10/10 (as I have said, absolutely beautiful)
Character development: 8/10 (I think they did a great job)
Enjoyment: 4/10 (first half good, second half real bad)
Overall: 4/10 (still my final vote on the whole manga)

I really truly enjoyed this manga, but I can't take it when my original ship goes down without any real hints, the ship just exploded out of nowhere into tiny particles, it's the last chapter that really, truly sank my heart and ship, the fact that the manga even give the Satsuki×suzume shippers hope that they might actually get back together is what decided on my overall vote, not the fact that the second half was boorish, even if any type of manga is clichéd, it's sort of the story line that decides whether the reader will or will not enjoy it, as for this manga I did enjoy it, but not till the end

ps. I think satsuki is way hotter than mamura
