![]() ![]() ![]() It's no lie, if you are a big shoujo reader, you would always observe that the male(love-interest),is always better than the protagonist no matter what. Furthermore, I'll give you a list of the regular cultures in a manga that I admire little to none. You see this, don't you? Maybe it's just me. And my motto will always be "judge a book by its cover". It's just.the cover isn't that appealing. ![]() Here's the thing:I didn't want to read this manga after so many friends of mine recommended this to me. But, jeezum crow, this mega-slow treatment of their story killed me! Not everything has to be a series goddammit – just tell the story, stop treading water the whole time! And they’re likeable characters too, Sawako and Kazehaya – I’m rooting for them, I hope they get together. I thought it’d be a cute romance, and the unusual horror angle seemed promising, but unfortunately Karuho Shiina’s first volume of From Me To You just kept putting me to sleep. Repeat for 200+ pages and then slap a completely unnecessary “To Be Continued…” on it! It’s amazing that for a book with so little going on that the story is stretched into a series! It’s like Japanese manga isn’t allowed to tell a done-in-one story – everything’s gotta be a serial, no matter what! And there is almost nothing happening. Then one day popular boy Kazehaya starts talking to her and her classmates see her in a different light. Sawako Kuronuma is a lonely schoolgirl, ostracised for looking like Sadako, the creepy girl from The Ring movies. ![]()
