[⋆̩] Shining Rain Review:

Hiyokoi is a simple romance to enjoy an afternoon reading manga. I think that was my conclusion after following the manga throughout all the years of its release. It is one of my favorites manga among dozens of those I have read, doesn't it have a story not unlike the conventional, honestly? it's quite cliché, but you will not fall in love with Hiyokoi for this reason, but for the development of the relationship between the main couple.

It is spontaneous and sweet, in my opinion, the two have captivating personalities despite being very different, but seeing how Hyorin is inspired by Yuushin, trying to overcome her own fears and insecurities in someone who she has fallen in love makes our hearts smile. And seeing Yuushin open up and be able to be himself freely with someone he likes without worrying about other things makes you realize that they were not made for each other, but are building up to be because they are young and are now understanding the responsibilities of sharing feelings with one another. And it’s good to realize that even the biggest problems involving the plot between them doesn’t make the relationship toxic, misunderstandings or love triangles are not the focus (just as they shouldn’t be lmao)

Seeing them learning about each other, growing up with each other, and falling in love with each other makes you want to read more and more. It's a rhythm of history that makes you want it to be like that in others too. To tell you the truth, the two probably have one of my favorite developments among all the shoujos I've read. I read the other reviews and realized that maybe this story is not for everyone, but if you haven't read it yet, give it a try, I think it's incredible and I hope you can find the same.
