The main reason why I decided doing this review was because I haven't seen any other that expressed the thoughts I have about Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare. The story isn't really complex or impressive, like the most mangas I'm obsessed with, but in the "shoujo" category I have to say it is really good. Its the type of light manga which is ideal if you just want to spend time because your sad or bored and, who knows, you may like it so much that you will not be able to stop. Even though I heard a lot of people saying this manga is cliché, depending on your point of view that may not be so true. Actually, it is, but is a really well worked cliché. You will understand as this review passes by.

Story (7):
As I said, the story isn't complex or impressive, how I usually like, but is not bad either. I guess you already know because of the synopsis, but I'm gonna explain the plot to you in my own way: The story circles around four characters (lots more around the two girls) and each one has their single way of seeing love. Yuna only learned about love in shoujo mangas and... well, you know what that means, she thinks love is something eternal, cute and much more strong than it actually is, and she seems to believe in destiny and hopes for the man of her life, or her prince, to find her and love her the way she is, without doing anything on her own to find this love. Akari thinks like most of the girls nowadays and her "love" lacks feelings. She just confess her love if she's sure the guy likes her back and enjoy the "seductive game" of the boys. Rio suffers of an deadly disease called "unrequited love" but, this time, he really CAN'T confess and, trying to give up the girl he likes when he still wasn't even rejected by her, he just pick up beautiful girls and hopes to fall in love with them. If they're not pretty he simply rejects them, but he says its just because they never talked to him before (the pretty girls didn't either). Kazuomi it's just an average teenager who's absurdly clueless, but cute and has no interest in love at all, has no problems with girls and actually seems to not differ then from guys with skirts (my opinion), though he understand their feelings better than any guy in this world. Lies, he doesn't, but by miracle he treats them like they want to be treated. In other words, he's really kind. The story shows how love affects and works for this four types of people or, at least, is what I think it should do. That's the only point where I think Sakisaka should have worked better, that if she at least thought about this possibility because, from my point of view, the love came from the exact same way for all of them. Their opinions about love almost didn't changed the story at all. Conclusion: None of them was right about how love works, and that's what the story seems to talk about, crushing all their expectations, but they seem fine with this and are not stubborn even though the way they were seeing the world changed suddenly in front of their eyes. Another think that bothered me (only me as it seems) was the bad use of secondary characters. Yuna's best friend moved in the first chapter and she was really sad, but it seems she forgot about her friend really fast. Other secondary characters are pretty useless too, even when they shouldn't. Something I think it's important to say is: THIS MANGA IT'S NOT A LOVE TRIANGLE! Just in a single moment, for 3 chapters at worse. Look, P(person)1 likes P2, who likes P3 who start to like P4 who doesn't like anybody. In other words, nobody is loved for more than one person. Just in some chapter a P5 start to like P1, but P1 likes only P2 and that's just a love triangle because P2 started to like P1 as well, but it's so fast I think you can disregard that. And, if you wanna know, I don't think P5 liked P1 so much, since he accepted just fine being rejected, not getting pissed and did not shed a single tear. Was even smiling (though he smile all the time and I think he just can't get serious). Though in the future that may change, P1 will be already getting out with P2.

Art (9):
I didn't gave it a 10 because I know that exists better art, but is really pretty and pleasing of looking at. Not just that, it fits the story perfectly, and I think the art just get better as the chapters pass by. In the beginning, Yuna's appearance bothered me a little (eyes too small for the head), but that changed fast (or I got used, I don't know).

Characters (8):
I guess what I liked the most about the characters is how they changed as the story passed by. Especially Yuna. They were really cliché in the beginning, but got more interesting with time. I think I like characters that change more than characters that were already good to begin with. But, if it wasn't for Yuna and Rio, I don't think I would give the characters more than 6. Akari and Kazu are nice and all, but they are predictable and boring. Consequently, I end up loving Yuna x Rio and getting pissed when Kazu x Akari steal the scene, which is the same problem I get from mangas like Kobayashi ga Kawaii Sugite Tsurai (I loved Mego x Sanada and found Azusa x Mitsuru boring). Luckly (or not, if you like the other couple), Sakisaka seem to have thought the same thing and Yuna x Rio are way more frequent to apear. Well, let's keep going:
Yuna: At the beginning, Yuna it's such a timid girl that almost everything she learned about other people and life in a hole were all things she got from mangas. She would stare ate the ground when interacting with others and was easy to trick if her hearth was touched, though she wasn't stupid and was actually pretty careful (well, at least that's what it looked like to me). Since the beginning she was a well worked cliché, not being weak and coward although she was really shy. She was kind and cute, but not in a way that pissed me of, it was realistic, and I liked that. And she could actually interact well with people that she knew for a long time, like her previous best friend, that moved in the first chapter, and her childhood friend, Kazu, with who she wasn't shy at all and she didn't had a crush on him just because he was the only boy she talked with. As time passes by, she shows being a strong kid that wouldn't cry for everything and gains more confidence even after being rejected. Even now, she got quite a potential.
Rio: Rio was another good cliché. He's the so talked playboy that is interested in every girl as long as she has a good face, but he's not such a bastard as everyone thinks. As I saw, he's spoiled and childish, and because of that he does some pretty bad things when he's angry, but he doesn't get angry easily, recognizes his mistakes, it's kind in his own way and actually thinks about the others, though he will put himself in front when he thinks his hearth is in danger and the only person that he may put in front him sometimes is the girl he likes. I say "sometimes" because when he's angry at her the thing changes an he thinks he has the right of getting advantage. He doesn't change as much as Yuna, but he tries his best to do so, inspired in her. And when he solves his problems he naturally become someone better, since when his sad or pissed he becomes a "bad person", accidentally, but who doesn't?
Akari: I think this kid became realistic while wanting to be a dreamer just like Yuna, because she really make some effort to love for real (just like in Yuna's mangas) after meeting her new friend. I think the best part about her is her sociality and coldness, even though she smiles a lot. She kinda remember my mother (I think "feelings" were lacking when God created her). It's nice how normal she is. I meet persons like her in the street all the time. What more changed about her was definitely her coldness, also inspiring in Yuna. She became more sincere and cute (less mature) and it's nice how she started liking somebody-that-I-will-not-tell (thought you already know who it is) since he was so different of her type, and because Akari in love doesn't look like herself. It's like me discovering love for the first time when she's a lot more experienced than me (since my only love was my geography teacher, and the motherfucker it's married). And she doesn't become shy at all, she actually seems to be having fun with the new feeling. But she keeps being colder than other manga characters (even the really cold ones are more affected when rejected by the first time), but is still cute. I don't enjoy her as much as Yuna, but she is an interesting character.
Kazu: The most cliché character, Kazu is so easy to read if your used to shoujo mangas that it's kinda boring. He's not bad at all, just... Well... Kazu's strong point as a character is the fact that he's so direct and say some amazing things without even noticing. He's not distracted, he's really dumb. Again, Sakisaka noticed this and he's the less appearing character. Since now's gonna start to focus more on him and his crush (again, you know who it is) I hope he's gonna evolve more. I want to see different sides of him. Something I want to say about him is: He has a mania for scratching his nose when he lies. I just discovered this later and I got really pissed, because I wanted to observe in which moments he did that. Now, what I enjoy the most about him is tease my computer like he's listening every time he scratches his nose. It's pretty fun.

Enjoyment (8):
I think the enjoyment was so high because I read it at the right time. If your not bored os sad, don't read this. You're gonna start to compare him with other mangas which are so much better and you're enjoyment's gonna be low. If you are a "new otaku" then I think you will love this manga, since the clichés are not going to piss you off. If you like complex and interesting stories... Well... It has a lot of good mangas out there. Read just some chapters of this manga and, if you get bored, try another one.

That's it! English's not my main language, so I hope I wrote everything wright ^^'
