Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 1

A heartfelt comedy from the creator of orange! Shimana Kameko lives in a home where she feels she doesn’t belong. Her mother is dead, her father has remarried, and her six-month-old baby brother takes up everyone’s attention. Kameko skips school and runs away to a nearby park, where she literally stumbles over a mysterious man in a kimono. The stranger, Fujiwara Taiga, offers Kameko a place to stay—on three conditions. The first condition is that Kameko tell him why she ran away from home. The second is that she fetch the stranger’s lost apartment key (he is locked out!). The third condition is...to have a dream. Kameko meets the conditions, moves in, and begins a journey of romance and self-discovery.

I love Takano's other series Orange. This one is amusing and the characters are pleasant to be around. I'm kind of surprised by how positive most of them are. Kind of reminds me of Fruits Basket or Good Morning Call.

Home Is Where the Heart Is When Shimana fails to work up the courage to ask Asahi out on a date, she decides it’s time to get a makeover as part of her self-improvement plan. But when she calls Asahi to come check out her new look, he’s too preoccupied with his own crush to pick up the phone. Is her transformation all for nothing? And what are those weird heart palpitations Zen’s getting every time he looks at Shimana? It’s a full house of unrequited love and self-discovery in volume 2 of this slice-of-life romance!

Much better than volume one. What is it, a love triangle? Love quadrilateral? Anyway, the story gets much more interesting in this volume, with all the relationships (and their problems).

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 3

Typical shoujo, but it's still fun and amusing.

Kameko meets the conditions, moves in, and begins a journey of romance and self-discovery.

Typical shoujo. Wish there was a relationship chart at the beginning because I can't remember who all these characters are.

Shimana Kameko ist seit dem Tod ihrer Mutter zu Hause sehr unglücklich. Seit ihr Vater neu geheiratet und ein zweites Kind bekommen hat, fühlt sie sich, als hätte sie niemanden mehr auf der Welt, dem ihr Wohlergehen noch am Herzen liegt. Also packt sie eine Tasche und reißt aus!! Ohne Geld und Plan wo sie unterkommen kann, steht Shimana nun ziemlich verloren da... Zum Glück trifft sie jemanden im Park, der ihr weiterhelfen will! Aber nur, wenn sie ihm drei Wünsche erfüllt. Ein modernes Märchen aus der Feder von Ichigo Takano, der Mangaka von ORANGE!

This was super cute! Every character had it's own quirks and I really liked all of them. I'm excited to find out what is going to happen next.

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 2

This was super cute and not at all wgat I expected. I can't wait to see how it continues.

This was super cute! But I don't know if I like where the story is going...

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 4

Ok, I'll admit. At first I wasn't into where the story was going, but I am enjoying it more and more. I am even on board with the love interest. Let's see where this is going next.

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 5

This is getting better and better. Although the love interest is kin of a jerk...I really enjoy the main character ad the story gets more and more interesting as it is going on. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 7

I really like where this is going! I want to know what happens next sooo badly. I even ship the main romance! What is happening, I'm falling for this story, hard!

Shimana is still trying to work through her feelings for Taiga, her curmudgeonly landlord. As if that weren't hard enough, almost everyone--from her roommate Zen to Taiga's father--seems determined to keep them apart! Meanwhile, Shimana's biggest ally, Asahi, is suffering heartbreak of his own...

Dreamin' Sun Vol. 8

Yep, I am definitely liking this series! I have grown so fond of the characters and I'm rooting for the main romance!

“LET’S MAKE SOME MEMORIES.” It’s summertime and Shimana is determined to spend as much of it with the landlord as possible! But just as they are enjoying a nice day at the beach, Shimana learns that the landlord is being transferred to another city! Can she find a way to keep him close, or will it be their first and last summer together?

Cute, cute, cute! This was extremly cute! I liked the characters and am interested in what happens next.

JOURNEYS END WITH LOVERS MEETING Despite Shimana trying her hardest to keep the landlord by her side, Taiga is still moving to another city for work. But before he goes, he makes sure to spend the day with Shimana...and promises that he will return. In the final volume of Dreamin’ Sun, will Shimana finally see her dream come true and be reunited with the landlord?

This again was very cute, but I can't help it: I was a bit disappointed! I LOVED the other volumes and the story itself, but the ending felt a bit rushed and I didn't feel that many emotions in the end. All in all it was a great series though.

Dreamin' Sun, Vol. 6

Awwwwww, soooo cute! This was definitely the best volume yet! I just loved every second of it. And the ending was just too cute! I really enjoy this story and can't wait to continue!

The art is so beautiful. The story is really funny and silly. I’m interested, but at the same time I don’t feel instantly drawn to the story. 

I like light hearted romance when it comes to Shojo, but I can she her with any of the characters that have been introduced.

I like the landlord guy, but he’s a little too older for her at the age she is right now. Will see.

The story is so weird. Like it’s silly, but then super intense... I’m not sure how to feel about it! 🤷🏻‍♀️
