Air Koi

Its been a while since I read a manga which touched me like this one did. And I make it a point to read every shoujo manga I can get my hands on. It really caught hold of my heart and it really made me cry. I'm still crying when I'm doing this review. I normally never review anything even if I like it, but this is an exception. I am reviewing this because I want people to know that this manga is worth it. I'm not including a summary because it would spoil the whole thing. All I can say is, DON'T DROP THISMANGA IN THE FIRST CHAPTER! Because that's what I nearly did. And boy, am I glad I didn't. Because if I had, I would have missed one of the most heart wrenching short story manga of this year. DON'T LET THE SUMMARY FOOL YOU! There's a reason why its called a dramatic love story! If you have read the first chapter in this manga, you would know that it starts out pretty much like other manga and you'd think the female lead is an idiot. SHE IS NOT! DON'T DROP IT! You might think, ho-hum, boring, but wait until the second or third chapter! THE END AT THE THIRD CHAPTER IS WORTH IT! When you read the third chapter of this manga and everything is put into place you'll feel like you've been slapped on your face. I had not liked the heroine until then. But when I read the third chapter, I felt guilty. I felt mad at myself for hating the heroine. What i say probably won't make sense until you finish the manga but really, its very beautiful and sad and painful. Be sure to read it. You won't regret it.
