Blooming Love

Synopsis

As a member of the art club, Shintaro Ibuki is stuck with the arduous task of making a piece of school equipment by hand. While crafting, he notices the intimidating Kyoko Sugisaki glaring at him. Unsatisfied with his clumsy efforts, Kyoko eventually steps in and quickly finishes his work for him. Wishing to return the favor, Shintaro helps with the sketch Kyoko was working on. Fascinated by each other's different areas of expertise—Shintaro by Kyoko's special talent for handcrafting drums and Kyoko by Shintaro's impressive art skills—they begin working together on various projects. But their shared passion for creating beautiful things may be just the first step for romantic feelings to appear in full bloom. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Do you know that feeling when everything is going well (almost too well), and then suddenly everything comes crashing down on your head - while also wrecking your spine (I’ll say right away that the recovery doesn’t go well either)? If not, you’ll get to know it by reading Hanninmae no Koibito. Pros: - the first 14 chapters - no unnecessary drama - an interesting take on the work of a craftsman Cons: - the main character is a total wimp- underdeveloped supporting characters - a clear lack of any real concept for the manga in the later chapters - CRÈME DE LA CRÈME: PACING. Oh my God, using timeskips like this should be punishable Is it worth reading? I personally think not, but I have mixed feelings, because maybe some people enjoy that sensation I mentioned at the beginning. And the ending fits perfectly. It’s mid, just like the whole manga. Let this be the best summary: the best part of the story was the jealousy arc (SICK!).
