Hapi Mari: Volume 3

July 30, 2016

Volume three of Hapi Mari has a lot of great stuff going on, especially when it comes to looking deeper into Hokuto’s past and family troubles. I think the big theme that really ties this volume together is the family you choose can be a better family than the one you were born into. … More Hapi Mari: Volume 3

Boku Kara Kimi ga Kienai: Volume 3

July 29, 2016

This manga just continues to get me frustrated as we get further and further in. All the drama seems badly fabricated to the point that you’re just kind of groaning every time something happens. Volume three starts off with Yukako coming running back to the group shouting about Kousuke getting stabbed by the robbers and how he’s dying back there in the woods. … More Boku Kara Kimi ga Kienai: Volume 3

Hapi Mari: Volume 2

July 22, 2016

Volume two of Hapi Mari gets a little deeper into the complicated emotions involved in marriage and self discovery. Mostly though, I think these four chapters focus mainly on the growing jealousy of both of them as their feelings for each other progress into love. We also get to see more background and characterization of Hokuto including a peak at the real reason he decided to marry Chiwa. … More Hapi Mari: Volume 2

Boku Kara Kimi ga Kienai: Volume 2

July 15, 2016

I went into volume two right after we see Yukako basically breaking off their friendship after she sees Kousuke in Hotaru’s room. I was honestly hoping this manga would get better as we moved away from the starting relationship troubles and basic background explanation, but unfortunately I’m not that lucky. Maybe I’m too far removed from the highschool scene now that this kind of drama is starting to not appeal to me, but that’s questionable. … More Boku Kara Kimi ga Kienai: Volume 2
