:: Manga Review : SAKISAKA Io ::

Salam, good day peeps!

For today's post, here I am to write my first manga a.k.a. Japanese comic review. Straight to the point. Yeah. 


First is Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring Ride), created by Sakisaka Io in 2011. This comedy-romance and school life manga gives a story of Yoshioka Futaba, a first-year high school girl who wanted to reset due to her past middle school experiences by changing her personality. However, it did not go well as she met her first love, Tanaka Kou in the same high school and began to accept herself and then fight for Kou's attention and love(perhaps).
The reason I want to recommend this is, I personally how determined and absolute Futaba is when she wanted to redeem her past mistakes towards the man she really loves. Also, I personally think that all of us can relate ourselves when chasing for something we wished for, when reading this.
So, for those who enjoys love dramas and love triangles, you may go read the manga right away.
By the way, if you find manga a bit long, you can go watch its anime version which is more short and understandable. There's film version too, but it's not yet available in online streaming drama sites.


Another one is Strobe Edge, also created by Sakisaka Io in 2007 and ended in 2010 and yes, the manga is completed last year so you guys can check out the manga in any manga reading sites! This romance school life manga tells the story of Kinoshita Ninako, 15-year-old girl who fell in love at their encounter inside a train to Ichinose Ren, who is her classmate and yet has a girlfriend of his own.
My reason of recommendation for this one is, I think that anyone who is in Ninako's shoes will feel the same thing when you love someone who has a special person or has a liking towards another person. I realized as reading this story, it can be seen that neither Ninako nor Ren wanted to let go of their feelings for each other and thus, they tried to give in their all to make their relationship a reality.
So, for those who love this kind of story, you can check it out and see whether it's a story you prefer.
Yes, there's a film version for this one too but it will be released officially in March this year and the streaming drama sites won't have this until July or August.

Okay, that's all for now. Will be back to write more reviews. Perhaps another genre. Till then!
