Title: Ao Haru Ride aka Blue Spring Ride
Created By: Io Sakisaka
Type: Japanese Manga
Genre: Romance, Drama, School life, Comedy, Slice of Life, Shoujo
Status: C O M P L E T E D
Anime Version (Yes/None): Yes
Season 1: 12 Episodes + Episode 13 OVA
Live Action Version: Yes (Released: 2015)
Tags: Ao Haru Ride, Blue Spring Ride, Yoshioka Futaba, Mabuchi Kou, Tanaka Kou, Kikuchi Toma, Love Triangle, Love, Friendship
Remarks: A friend of mine was really hinting me to read this manga and I kept putting her off as I wasn't at first interested with the cover of the manga. I was reading a particular manga when it was time to wait for a few weeks or months for it to update and so I decided to check Ao Haru Ride then. Instantly, Tanaka Kou and Yoshioka Futaba became so dear to me. I don't know if it's because I can easily relate to their situation (except for Kou's mother tho) but their relationship as a whole: it's strong, intense and those feelings cannot be easily discarded. This is a test for how much they're willing to waste time or take action and delete all 'what ifs' and turn them to WHAT IS. (It would be best to read the manga first so you won't be left hanging as the anime is only up to Episode 13 which is the OVA. So the sequence should be: MANGA → ANIME → LIVE ACTION Seriously, the live action was better than I expected. Usually, live actions are not up to standards with their manga but this one is good to go!) Watch to your heart's content!

Tags: Rachelle, Landon, Dindin, Rach, Where Tangents Meet, Love, Love Triangle, Acceptance, Modelling World
Remarks: Just recently came across with this webtoon but the minute I started reading this, wow--- I was completely flipped with Landon and Rachel's undeniable chemistry. Landon seems the stuck-up rich boy who clearly despises people approaching him with ulterior motives but actually has a good heart, deep down especially after meeting Rachel. Rach, the former ballerina on the other hand displays sincerity and innocence with a genuine smile but can sometimes become too oblivious to her surroundings and tends to seal her true emotions. This webtoon was just recently completed so go check it out and journey towards their fresh, sweet and intriguing love story.

Title: Hirunaka No Riyuusei aka Daytime Shooting Star

Tags: Suzume Yosano, Daiki Mamura, Satsuki Shishio, Hirunaka No Riyuusei, Daytime Shooting Star, Province Girl, Student-Teacher Feelings, First Love, Second Love, SuzumeXSatsuki, SuzumeXMamura
Remarks: The plot and pacing of this story is good as the characters gradually change while not getting rushed or rushing the readers as well. Suzume is from the province and just recently arrived in the city and came to live with her uncle who has a friend named Satsuki. The story gets complicated as she continuously grown fond of him then afterwards, she finds out that she's her teacher at the new school she's going to--- don't get me wrong though; you may think it's cliche but not entirely. Our second protagonist appears as he becomes Suzume's classmate, named Mamura. Choosing between both these men is already quite handful and let alone you're soon opt to decide who fits more our female lead! If she goes out with Satsuki, it won't be easy given the circumstances they're both in: restricted meet-ups, secret dates or getaways, no public display of affections whatsoever etc. They both need to be very vigilant as not to arouse suspicions. While on the other hand, if she ends up with Mamura--- he's very popular especially among girls, he's quite reserved and picky (I mean seriously, you'll get it as soon as you start reading this manga) he hated it at first, I mean her being around him like morning greetings, saying hello when they see each other etc (Of course, it all starts with annoyance then that blossoms to curiosity then whaaaaaam!) Of course, being with Mamura since they're both students is the most appropriate and correct(?) relationship since being in a teacher-student relationship is really complicating. (Come on, you're being asked by your mom while you're always staring into space with that stupid grin on your face and you can't just easily blurt out that you're behaving this way since you kissed your science teacher or professor and is feeling quite in love) Join this funny, epic and heartwarming love story and decide which ship you're on board. Hurry up, the ship is sailing!

Live Action Version:

Tags: Hana, Vivi, Hana to Akuma, Demon King, Demon World, Love, Pain, Trust, Time, Family, Marriage
Remarks: I sincerely enjoyed Hana and Vivi's road to happily-ever-after as they're really opposite! But like everyone says, opposites do attract and so they did--- so much more. Vivi may try to appear like he's heartless and doesn't think about other people's feelings, but he truly isn't, especially when it's concerning Hana. He may have not shown more than a feeling of liking towards her in the beginning but it gradually grows through time especially when Hana finally became an adult. He says hurtful things, make impulsive decisions, try to marry someone for the sake of the Kingdom but one thing is for sure--- he whole-heartedly 100% loves Hana. And so, Vivi and Hana will take you on a roller-coaster ride and try to decide which world is better!

Tags: Kei Takishima, Hikari Hanazono, Special A, Forever Number 2, Love, Friendship, Adventure, Journey
Remarks: I remember falling in love instantly with Kei who's so obviously smitten by the oblivious and "second-best", Hikari. I watched the 24 episodes in one day and I experienced post-Special-A sadness when I finally reached the last episode and at that time, I was completely NOT AWARE that there was a MANGA VERSION and consisted almost up to 100 chapters! Hikari and Kei will always be one of my anime couples who're definitely display the kind of relationship I'd like to see myself to be in. Well, except the super-human skills Kei and Hikari possesses. I mean, come on! They're like heroes with super powers. I can't compete with that! Kei and Hikari will take you to a sweet, frustrating journey but definitely worth the ride. In the end, it will all be worth it.

Remarks: I've read this throughout my high school years thus, it's kind of my "high school' mantra, just kidding! I've known this manga for years now and I still think it can compete with its love story story line with today's present mangas. (My best scene of Komiyama when he was the the leader of the cheering squad for their sophomore or junior year. Kyaaaa, he looked so hot!) I highly recommend you to just read the manga but you can go check out their live action as well. Also, look for Enren Debut after reading Koukou Debut for more epilogue!
