Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei · review
At first glance, I wouldn't say that this manga has a very interesting or attention-grabbing plot, but I still liked this manga to the very end. The story itself I have to compare with shoujo manga. It has the same type of almost hurried romance between the main characters and of course, the male lead is the type of perfect person that doesn't express his feelings for the other. On the other hand, the protagonist is the type to be somewhat weak (?) and easy to bully to some extent. However, I still find that the light-heartedness of the story made it very sweet. There isno stupidly outrageous humour and definitely shows things in a more realistic and mature manner except for some obviously "set-up" and almost impossible situations.
I personally found the art to be very captivating and appealing to look at.
Again, there was lots of similarities to that of shoujo art as well.
There is not anything too special to discuss about the art, but I have to say that I enjoyed observing the different expressions of the characters.
Moving on, the character development was never quite there at all.
Perhaps it was the result of the length of the series, or perhaps the mangaka put more attention to the story and less into the characters themselves.
After pondering it a bit more, I have to admit that the characters are still rather one-sided without depth, even if there are only 2 main characters that the story surrounds.
Maybe this is because I am more of a shoujo manga reader, but I still enjoyed this series very much to the very end for the way it was so sweetly written.
