I’m not sure why I download this chapter, neither the name nor the description motivated me. Guess I was just bored but, I really glad I picked it up.
First of all, this manga is funny. And I mean, it’s really funny. Lot of situations are greatly exaggerated in a way that’s surprising and really funny at the same time.
The main character, Masaki, has a problem. She’s not very feminine and because of the way she dresses, people often mistake her for a boy. One day, when her girl school uniform finally arrives, she’s crossing the street and doesn’t see an incoming truck. She’s saved by a boy and she suddenly falls in love with him. She then discovers that he ice skates and that she’s actually interest in the sport herself.
Anyway, the plot is not the strong point for now, I loved this chapter, because the main character is really interesting and keeps you wanting to read more. There’s also the comedy, I haven’t read something so funny in a while.
For now, it’s the comedy and the relationship between Masaki and Kaoru. I’m not sure if in the future, the ice skating competitions will become a more important subject of the story and the manga will become more shonenish, which would be a good thing.
The art is very cool and detailed and it’s the kind of style I really like.
- Personal Enjoyment: 4/5
