oh, how i want every mamura and suzume interaction buried deep in my memories forever, never leaving a single strand of conversation between the two of them behind.

Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 1

this was fun and all but ... idk how i feel about the love interest (possibly) being a pedophile. i feel like i can’t give it a higher rating because it might be heading in the direction of romanticizing that, but if you take out the 2 (maybe more?) panels that made him look a little suspicious, i really enjoyed this.


also the formatting of this confused the heck out of me and it took me 20 pages to realize i had no idea how to read it. i *think* the panels/dialogue are supposed to be read right to left, but no i didn’t know that beforehand because i’ve never seen that in all the translated manga i’ve read.

This was weird. The artstyle wasn't for me and the story felt disjointed. It just wasn't for me.

I’m starting to believe I have a thing for older male/younger female shoujo... it was Dreamin’ Sun by Ichigo Takano’s fault!!!
