Futari no Renai Shoka · review
This was a manga that had a pretty sweet tone throughout. The core as expected is the relationship between the two, which starts off pretty amusing but then continues on in a pretty relaxed manner. This takes up the majority of the manga. It shifts as the manga approaches it's end however, focusing more on Kanako's past and her family situation, with Akio helping her close past wounds and help her move on, which was pretty involved and resulted in solid development. It felt kind of lopsided though in that Kanako's side got development and Akio's didn't really get anything at all. This made itfeel a lot like the manga ended too early. The pacing overall was pretty good, with the possible exception that the manga gave enough time to some side characters that it felt like they mattered, but didn't give enough time to actually give them any development. The art was decent.
tl;dr: A sweet manga about two people that have similar emotional wounds coming together that's a bit too short.
