Fair enough, I see what you mean in that this is important in moving the plot forward, but I just don't like how it's being done here. It feels.. forced, unnatural and not interesting. The following chapters have been predictable, boring, and.. just not fun to read. They left me disappointed and just hoping maybe the next chapter will be something good. That's just how I feel though.

And yeah, those sort of feelings are understandable in the situation she got into... but running so far away that it'd make it hard for the others to find her (even just.... skipping graduation) is taking it too far for me. I see how it is emotional for you, but I've seen the other side where people are not very happy with it, and well... I gotta be with them on that. o:

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from...even if I'm of the opposite mind (though it's certainly rushed, I'll admit). I'll probably concede on predictability as well, even though that's something I actually prefer in this genre. I might be in the minority there...I just really hate surprise endings in romance/rom-coms. I much prefer steady build up towards one obvious conclusion over something that seems to come out of nowhere. Though middle ground is good too...if possible.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy Hirunaka! I read it a few years ago, and thought it was cute. It actually ended the exact same week as Naruto, which is funny because my pairing of choice happened in one, and absolutely sunk in the other. :P #shipperproblems

I'm not too sure where I fall when it comes to endings. I guess I like endings that have a good closure, wraps up all the loose ends and show some post stuff. Bakuman was one example of an ending I hated! Hopefully Nisekoi gets a nicely wrapped end.

I will! I am definitely liking it so far! Suzume is likely going to be my favorite character already. I just love that face of hers xD

So courtesy of Platters, I picked up a new manga recently, Hirunaka no Ryuusei, which so far has been really charming. The main character, Suzume, is a bit of an odd ball, but in a good way. She's very spacey and somewhat awkward person with a bored expression on her face, but is very comical, especially with her expressions. She's also someone who isn't very shy for the most part (except with it comes to love, haha). I guess that could happen when a country girl suddenly has to move out to the city, so cityfolk may think of her as plain and weird. It's funny seeing how she lives her life in the big city, making odd friends, and learning more about love as well. It's really cute and charming to read. And it's just fun to see Suzume acting silly at times... x )

I sort of want to reread this manga despite completing it only about a month ago... :p

 

Also, planned to start the 1st Let's Read soon, when people's schedule becomes more lax. Let me know if you want to join as well!

Ahaha, let me try to finish it 1st. Also, looking forward to starting the let's read soon!
