narutolvr's manga / #shoujo(188)

Cute. That's pretty much it.

This is the sort of touching tragedy story that makes my heart hurt! It was really sweet TT^TT

The script used for narration/thoughts for the first story was too fancy and hard to read, so that was a bit annoying. To be honest, I didn't care for the first couple at all, either; I would much rather have read multiple chapters on the 2nd and 3rd couples.

Even though the first and second stories were pretty cliche (if the male lead is a good guy, his competition always has to be a bad guy for some reason) the entire manga was a nice read. The last story was sad because of how her family treated her and how easily such a traumatic experience could be resolved. I really hate those sorts of parents who get off on comparing their kids.

Manga with little kids is the best!!!!!

The stories were nice, though the art was pretty inconsistent (just how much did the author's style change?)

Sweet stories.

The girls' eyes legitimately took up half of their faces, so that was a bit hard to get over. Other than that, the stories weren't anything special: typical whiny heroine, typical "resist, resist, resist, then give in" male leads, the works. Interestingly enough, it also felt like the quality of the stories decreased towards the later chapters (or was it just me?), especially with the last chapter. It's like the author just gave up on having sensible plot development.

What separates a good short story from a bad one when dealing with 30 pages or less is being able to generate an emotional reaction from the readers. This story didn't have that at all, and the times when it did try to show an emotional shift in the characters, the story was bogged down by the odd pacing and inconsistent dialogue. Also, I don't get the obsession with the whole "first boyfriend" thing. Did he say that when he confessed or something? It seemed like everyone's focus was on that but it didn't make any sense for the girls to claim that was the only reason he was dating her. I mean, he was at least a year older than her; you're telling me there were no girls in his grade who never dated before?

Super adorable! Just so sweet ~^.^!
