Giri Koi

"This is my first love, but my first love ended with my broken heart." Summary: Mao's had to start fresh when she entered a new school. On her first day she "saved" a first year from being bullied but it turns out Riku wasn't being bullied at all. From that day on he started to call her Prince. She thought they were going to be together until she met his girlfriend.... Each chapter starts with a question anyone that's been in love or has had their heart broken will have asked themselves. Mao's conflicted emotions was the most genuine thing about it. Does she forget him? Can sheforget him? The characters emotions are it's defining points. Riku is tuck between what he wants and obligation. He feels obligated with Miu. He feels like it's his job to rescue her from everything and everyone all while loving someone else. Even though it was only eight chapters long, it still had depths to it. And it showed but a glimpse of first love and the long hurtle that it is. It wasn't believable enough for me, the falling in love. They don't show how falling in love with Riku happened, one page she was meeting him and the next she was already in love? I know they say about about love at first sight but, come on! ]The ending was seriously flawed, I want to believe in miracles and happy ending as much as the next person but it doesn't work that way. It was short and sweet but at then end, I was :/ It just didn't do it for me.
