YUMEMIRU TAIYOU MANGA REVIEW

OVERALL: 7.8

PLOT: 8

The passion to achieve your dreams and the heart that aches to love. Everyone of us have that dream we want to obtain. Everyone have that love for something that it made our hearts fulfilled once we are doing it. I love how this story stressed on this part. We, as an adult, learned to live the life the way it used to be. We go with the flow, we take our dreams forgranted because there is no room for it. Though the concept is really great, the love side is kinda fast pace from the start. And the never ending hope of the guy who loves the most on this manga has been neglected. Along the story, someone may realize how fragile love is, how someone can sacrifice his pride just for the sake of getting loved, how someone can be so immature, how they rant and how people cannot give up easily even if they've been hurt over and over again.

CHARACTER: 7

I love a senseful protagonist. Someone who is weak but keeps on moving forward. Someone with a reason. Someone with a decision of her own. Basically, it is not this one. She is moving on her own accord using her emotions, yes. She help others and wanted happiness, yes. And she revolves her world around the man she loves. This is a love story, I guess. But I've wait. I've wait till the girl realize what she wants. What her dreams are. And I've waited for nothing. In the end, she live her life for the guy. Isn't that bad? No. It's just that how can someone have no dreams of her own at all? Someone cannot grow just because they want to. Someone will grow through something they've face head on. From the start to the end, I saw a little bit of development in that area. Some characters mature, most of them do not.

ART: 9

The art is perfect on its own. The characters are cool and the emotions the mangaka wanted the readers to feel can be felt. The sad expression, the lonely one, the happy or crying face, it can be seen on this story. I'm really attracted on the kimono and I literally wanted to see a person wearing one. I wanted one.

ENJOYMENT: 8

I enjoyed it, yes, partly. The story is kinda like spinning in a roller coaster ride a dozen of times. Though the scenes changed, the feelings was repetitive. One has been hurt, one expected, one acted carelessly, one think wisely. It was like searching for a right way in a maze of emotions puzzled between the characters. The one thing that will make you think is who's gonna end up who. A reverse harem, it is.

ENDING: 7

The happy ending of the second guy is what I really love. At last, he find someone who can return the love he can give. Well, it's a given that the main characters get married and have a happy ending. That is a shoujo manga. That is what love story is. That is what most of the girls want. An ending where happiness is absolute. An ending where her and him existed.
