Nameless Asterism

''It's a secret'' - literally everyone in this book Love triangles can be something wonderfully dramatic (and thus entertaining) or completely pointless. So when you make a story that revolves around a love triangle, you have to put effort in it to make the triangle seem interesting. Nameless Asterism manages to do that… actually it does it too much, but I will get into that later. The love triangle is simple: Tsukasa likes Nadeshiko, Nadeshiko likes Kotooka, Kotooka likes Tsukasa What's the problem? They are all really close friends and they don't want tostop their friend group because of their love for eachother. But if you keep your feelings locked, they will try to get out, which the girls have to struggle with throughout the whole story. Their relationship gets even trickier when Tsukasa discovers about Nadeshiko's love for Kotooka, which results in Tsukasa having even more mental problem. The triangle gets even bigger when a third party is apparently in love with Tsukasa called Kyousuke. Shall we make the triangle even bigger? Let's make the triangle even bigger! The twin brother of Tsukasa apparently wants to stop Kyousuke to like Tsukasa because ''He has a sistercomplex'' *are kidding me with this shit? We are now getting into Citrus levels of love triangles!*. With all of this happening, all the three of the girls try to keep their friendship alive, but it receives punches nonetheless. *sigh* yep, this sure is a complicated story. The biggest problem that I have with this is not the complexity of the story, but how this manga loves to overly explain their feelings. The first time they something like that it is actually pretty emotional, but it isn't after the 29th time. Because of this the middle is pretty boring until chapter 19. I am not going to spoil what happens in this chapter, but I am gonna say that finally some actual drama happens instead of drama in their heads. The aesthetics are fine I guess. The art looks pretty good and I love the panels where they zoom in on the faces to show the details in the hairs and such. So in short, do I recommend it? Well, if you love love triangles and kinda corny humor, I would recommend it. If you don't like complicated love stories and/or long explanations of feelings, it's not something for you. And if you excuse me, I am going to watch K-ON! to shower my brain.
