It was a pleasant and heartwarming read. I really enjoyed reading it throughout the end. The Characters are so cute and lovable, and I can't choose from the 2 main heroines of the stories because both are so cute and hawt (and with big bewbies). The Story was Very Good and quite relaxing, no heavy drama, no heavy comedy, just a warm feeling that you'll really love till you reach the end chapter. Overall, I loved everything on this manga, It was warm, enjoyable, and a romantic happy ending. If you're looking for a heart-warming Romance manga, this is for you.
tl;dr: A manga that has weak romance but has pretty good CGDCT. Yumekuri is a manga thatâs somewhat different from the first impression it gives. The basic premise is that the protagonist, Yukami falls in love with the goddess of a hot spring, Shirahane, and ends up working at that hot spring alongside a bunch of other girls. Based on that, my expectations would be a romance focused manga with some light supernatural elements and a harem subtext. However, the vast majority of this manga is actually just cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) with a romance plot thread on the side. It starts off with somefocus on romance and in the end it focuses on romance once again, but in the middle while the romantic thread persists to a degree very little time is spent on it. Thus while it does have its cute romantic fluff moments and the heroine is pretty adorable, the romance overall really doesnât feel developed enough. This is especially true for the ending, wherein in terms of romance it has some really strong points, but it simply doesnât feel like its showing enough and things just happen too quickly without really spending enough time on them and thus it doesnât properly feel like things have been properly resolved, which is a bit unsatisfying. Instead of focusing on the core couple, the manga spends a considerable amount of time focusing on the rest of the cast, which is composed pretty much entirely of girls. However, itâs important to note that this really doesnât feel harem like at all, as it mostly focuses on the girls themselves and very little on their relationship with the protagonist. The protagonist often has very little involvement in their stories and the focus is very heavily on the girls themselves and their bonds with each other. And thus, the manga is mostly just slice of life where girls deal with various lighthearted events and become better friends along the way without anything too heavy or any real plot arcs or major character arcs occurring, which is pretty standard CGDCT. The manga isnât particularly exceptional in this aspect either, but it has enough heartwarming, amusing, and cute moments that it feels that it does what it needs to and thus manages to be solid enough at this. As an additional note, how the manga handles supernatural elements felt kind of weird, in that theyâre in this middle area where they felt prominent enough that it was strange that they werenât more prominent. I was also somewhat disappointed in how at times it felt like the manga was going to go in the direction of having more in depth in providing information on hot springs and how theyâre run but it never really committed to it. Lastly, the art has a really nice style that fits the manga really well and is overall pretty high quality, especially the color pages.
Yugami Makoto likes to travel to different Hot Springs. On his 100th visit to a Hot Spring he meets a beautiful foreign girl in the bath. Stunned by her beauty, he immediately falls for her. But there is more to the girl than meets the eye. And why is Makoto forced to work at the Inn afterwards? (Source: MU)
I've never left a review before but decided to after seeing there was only one other review for this. I decided to check out Yumekuri because I really liked the art, and I kept reading it for the hint of potential romance. I'm surprised slice of life isn't one of the genres this manga is listed under as that's what it mainly is, with a few fan service panels. The story wasn't particularly interesting but the characters and art were good enough for me to read it through to the end. As for the romance there are maybe ten pages devoted on building the relationshipbetween the mc and main girl for every ten chapters, so it's really slow, but then then last five chapters are completely devoted to their relationship. Overall, this is a worthwhile read if you want a nice slice of life and I can tell the author put a lot of love into making this manga so I'd give it a 9 despite its shortcomings in terms of story.
