Bokura no Fushidara - Reviews

omg i didnt expected that coming at all , i mean i thought this manga it some sort of smut borderline H manga but instead i saw metamorphosis manga vibe like how the FMC lost her self to something that she addcited to it however the different here is between these two manga is our manga here is focused on psychological side and human desires regardless the first few chapteres were a bit MEH to me  especially when her teacher figuered out her power i felt the author rushed the story otherwise the ending shocked me , at the end dont anticipate something deep but the story was enoguh to keep me read it until the end

So I was not expecting this to be as engaging as it ended up being. I was expecting a hot and steamy erotica with the plot acting as set-up for sex scenes. And that pornographic element is definitely there throughout the entirety of the story. But by the end, the sex scenes became background noise to the psychological suspense. And the entire story was well-crafted, with the characters acting in ways that seemed to fit their personalities. I don't always like the ways they act, especially with Minami, whose obsessive and insular mindset leads to fem making some dark decisions--decisions that leave fem a shell of a person and that make me feel icky inside--but I can understand how those decisions fit the characters. Minami is by no means a good or mentally healthy person. And feir nature is precisely what makes Shinichi's story such a great tragedy.

It's a bit hard to give this the score I'm giving it. It has all the right elements for a much better score. I really liked it, and I definitely recommend it as a good read, but there are a few things that really stick out and drag the score down.

Story: As the synopsis says, MC gets the power to stop time, at a cost. Her adventure with this power, and her relationship with her friend are the two main driving forces for this story. Not much to say here without spoiling it, but I find it to be a really well written story for the most part. Ultimately the only part that bugs me is the very end - it feels like the author ran out of ideas or time and had to wrap it up a bit too abruptly, plus I just generally hate stories that end with the implication that everything in the story either didn't happen or was undone somehow. So, in all, great story clear up until the last like 5 pages. If that were simply the end of the story - that the last few pages didn't exist - I'd give it an 8 here.

Art: Superb. Plenty of detail in all the right places. Nothing feels lazy or hastily done, and each character is represented quite well and distinguishable. There are a small handful of places it could have been improved, and I would have loved to see it in color, but overall I really like it.

Characters: In roughly the same vein as the story, it has a lot of stellar characterization and development, but suffers from a rushed and somewhat unconvincing ending. The MC develops and grows over the course of the story (for better or worse), and the characters around her act believably. One character does stand out as being slightly *too* willing to go along with the MC's whims, but that character's arc wraps up believeably.

Overall: A great work with a lot of great ideas, that suffers from being cut too short with an abrupt ending and dissatisfying epilogue. I recommend it.

Note on tags: Definitely deserves the Explicit Sex and Borderline H tags, although it's probably on the more tame end of that spectrum. You never see any actual nether-regions of either male nor female characters, but there's some implicated actions involving said regions in basically every chapter that get plenty of detail in every other regard.
