Review of Honey Lemon Soda
if you're looking for a light and simple slice of life shoujo with a bit of drama mixed in, I think this is perfect. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, some may think it's cringe-worthy but honestly you can't judge MC's actions probably unless you've been in the same level of anxiety or years of bottled up emotions just to pretend being happy, to your parents. Besides, Ishimori actually takes a lot of improvement than most people in reality. If you are used to being locked in a comfort zone then you'd still have trouble handling new things (like the stutters, stammers) evenif you have so much will to change it, it realistically doesn't completely change right away. I wouldn't wanna compare it to Kimi no Todoke but it did remind me a bit of it, like a very 'mild' version. It's one of the a bit above average shoujo you'll get amongst the many shoujo animes out there but I'm glad it can make you giggle and blush at times.
I wish MAL allowed half ratings cuz I'd actually rate it about 6.8 : D
