| Synopsis: |
Yukino Miyazawa is an average girl who
works excessively hard to present a perfect social image. Her true
identity is discovered by her rival, Soichiro Arima who blackmails
her into helping him maintain his status as the perfect student.
Their interactions cause Yukino to fall in love with Soichiro who
likewise, discovers his true personality under his stoic facade.
Soichiro begins to express angst in his new personality, believing he
will become like his abusive parents. However, Yukino comforts him
and Soichiro confesses his love to her in response.
There
is a smaller second story about a young woman who hides because she
is afraid and a young man who accidentally gets involved in her life.
She begins to learn to not be afraid and he begins to learn to think
about other people instead of just brushing them aside.
| My Thoughts: |
Given that this is my third time reading this you'd think I'd
remember more beyond knowing it is a highschool drama. But nope, not
a bleeding thing. So this was like reading it for the first time.
First off, I appear to have a soft spot for highschool drama, even
while castigating it and rolling my eyes. Otherwise I can't explain
why I enjoyed this so much. Two 15 year olds filled with young pride
and angst learning to navigate Life and thinking that nobody before
them has ever encountered the same horrible problems that are
currently destroying their lives. Hahahahahaa.
I am not expecting to be able to make it through the whole series
even while I really enjoyed this volume. The second couple's story I
think sets the theme for the whole series. The two main characters
and their issues and then side stories about ancillary characters.
Not a bad way to spend an hour or so.
★★★★☆
