review 1: I was right! TT.TT It was painful to see the break-up! TT.TTAnd now there is a second love just around the corner waiting for Suzume and I don't know how I feel about it. If there wasn't any Shihio involved in the first place, Mamura is definitely the one I will support because he is so kind and sweet albeit a little shy around girls. But it didn't and we got to know sensei and he was the guy that Suzume met first, so I'm a litte sad right now.There is a total of 12 volumes in the series so I still got hope about Suzume and Shishio. But don't hurt Mamura! Ok?
review 2: The previous volume is a powerful one, and I'd say this is quite a well done continuation. It's kind of refreshing not to see much of sensei while Mamura got the spot light. I think it's quite tr... moreicky to make the two love interests in the obligatory love triangle to have a rather balanced appeal to both reader and the main character. In Hirunaka no Ryuusei, I find it done pretty finely. Though sensei is most likely to be the main love interest, Mamura had his scenes and back stories drawn regularly and thoughtfully to the point that he can appeal some readers to accept him as Suzume's choice. The last time I find an example quite close to this is maybe Strobe Edge, which character designs and background stories are necessarily done closely tied to the story. Compared to, for example, Ao Haru Ride which felt so Futaba-Kou-Futaba-Kou again and again, even after introducing some interestingly desgined/supposed to-be-of-regular characters, they seem to later still be neglected (though I don't say the overall story is bad at all, Ao Haru Ride is pretty recommended in fact).Anyway, I just realized that I find it significantly more comfortable to read Hirunaka no Ryuusei compared to other shoujo manga. I wonder, I think it's likely because of that Mika Yamamori's artwork is not as 'crowded' with the characters' elaborate wavy hair or that it's cleaner with stronger lines. Kind of reminding me of josei artwork.And kudos to Mika Yamamori's style to regularly change characters' hairdo and appearance which are almost always interesting to look at, as they show the characters' development, or as one plot continuation device, or just simply to please her fans. Very refreshing. less
