Preliminary Spoiler Apr 13, 2016 Futari no Renai Shoka is a sweet, vanilla romance about two bookish people from broken families who find comfort, solace, and love in each other. The only possible turn-off for some might be the 10 year age-gap: when the manga begins, she is in her mid-20s, while he is about to enter high school (10th grade). If that doesn't bother you, then this is an extremely good romance manga. The story is fairly simple, as this is mostly a slice-of-life romance. The little story that is here is driven by the two fascinating characters. Young woman takes over her father's old bookshop, ... Apr 30, 2017 "Have you ever had a book you couldn't help but flip through when you remembered it?
A book you kept coming back to, over and over again? That's what you are to me." Futari no Renai Shoka is a case of getting many things right about telling a short yet profound romance story. Conveniences and clichés are present but they are layered well enough that none of them stands out enough to drag the story in unwanted directions. It took me quite some thinking to come up with a reasoning behind why this manga left an emotional impact within me, nevertheless it’s a work that I can’t ... Apr 3, 2023 A veeeeeery fast paced manga, and since most of the focus is on the female character, my guess is the author ran out of time to do the male character's background. You could say it's unrealistic as well, and the side characters aren't even that much. A light read, if you may.
The main characters are pretty cute. Although I did find the age gap a turn-off, the story is so unrealistic and basic it didn't even incite that much rage in me.
It was interesting, however, seeing the author, Yamazaki Kore, transition from this kind of mindless seinen writing onto the masterpiece that is ... Oct 19, 2017 I loved everything about this from start to finish. The characters are perfect. The way in which they mould as one is beautiful. I'm not usually into things like this but it has converted me toward romance manga heavily. There has never been a time where I have wanted a manga to continue so badly. The way in which the story progresses is done perfectly. It would have been nice for it to be a little longer but that's just because I enjoyed it so much. I love the way in which they use quotes from other writing and how it shines such a positive ... Sep 20, 2024 A pedophilia, harassment story dressed up with sweetness. what happens when a man who has started his business life tells a very young girl to marry me, be with me, move to my house, etc. and she is a child with no family at all? even if we ignore this, it is not a quality story.
If the age of the child was a little older, if it was someone who had just started university, the story would not lose anything and I would not criticize it so harshly, but even then the story would still be lame. What an unnecessary feature that I need to write ... Sep 15, 2024 Futari no Renai Shoka was great; I loved reading it and seeing how all of it pieces their love together. This is good if you like a romance/comedy type of manga. I loved how the art style was kind of expressive; something about the art made it even better to read. Their romance is quick-paced, which can be frustrating, but it is all worth it in the end. The age gap can be a big thing for some people when reading; this didn't affect my read of the manga but could affect others.The author could've made Akio older. I would've preferred the author go more in-depth ... Nov 2, 2017 "Futari no Renai Shoka" is a case of getting many things right about telling a short yet profound romance story.

It took me quite some thinking to come up with a reasoning behind why this manga left an emotional impact within me, nevertheless it’s a work that I can’t help falling in love with. This manga might have hit home with me because of my personality or because of my want to have someone who'd give me the warmth of companionship. ... Aug 17, 2024 A manga that brings a strange feeling of “home”, where right from the start the author shows the protagonists' childhood traumas, with the problems with their parents leading them to traumas and mental blocks.
How could these childhood problems disrupt their personal relationships? In both cases, comfort was found in the books. It's cute, the artwork is a little fickle, but it has its charm, and I'd easily recommend it to anyone who wants to read it on a Saturday.
The idea of finding yourself and feeling good in each other's presence is a good thing to have once in a while. Oct 16, 2018 This was a manga that had a pretty sweet tone throughout. The core as expected is the relationship between the two, which starts off pretty amusing but then continues on in a pretty relaxed manner. This takes up the majority of the manga. It shifts as the manga approaches it's end however, focusing more on Kanako's past and her family situation, with Akio helping her close past wounds and help her move on, which was pretty involved and resulted in solid development. It felt kind of lopsided though in that Kanako's side got development and Akio's didn't really get anything at all. This made it ... |
