Sugars (Mika YAMAMORI) - Reviews

A different episode, a diferent shade of love. Just like there´re different kind of sweets in this manga there are different love stories.

It is episodic even thought it takes place mostle in the same school so we do have some story progression and character development even if it is scarce.
It's quite heartwarming to read but by the end it is a bit difficult to keep up with so many characters.

I had to re-read this story 2 times to remember its characters and what relationship they have with others. To be honest, that doesn't bother me at all, I love mangas with characters that connect in the story. And I will give my arguments in 3 points:

1- I feel that everyone is in a "same world" time-space;

2- that unrequited love of some character is resolved with another in the story, to explain myself better I will give an example: *spoiler * Mami and Momoya fail with their first love, but then they make the perfect couple. (2.1) - that's why everyone (almost) ends up having a happy ending  ¡yei!

3- I have the unhealthy tendency to pair up the poor second protagonists, because yes, I have the second lead syndrome -don't listen to me.

Now, I understand that it can be a bit difficult to follow the development of the plot, and especially when the chapters turn out as "separate" or "episodic" stories, so my advice is to make a concept map or an organized list of characters (with image, profile, age, appearance number). It's a lie, don't believe it -although I hope I'm not the only obsessive who made that list out of simple love for this manga.

In order not to dwell on this ridiculous review, I just want to make it clear that I highly recommend reading this manga. It is the first work I have read by Yamamori Mika, and I must highlight its great drawing and ingenious panel layout.

Enjoy too connecting each story with your characters, family and friends. And of course, I am a huge fan of all romantic, funny stories and things in life. I had to empathize with various characters in their way of thinking and acting like Mami-chan, Eri, and even a little with Ryouma.

Even though I said I didn't want to go on any longer, I'll just do it a little bit. I have to make a criticism about the vague development of the graduation, but I also understand that the point is basically ‘love’. It would have been nice if you told a good student story, with student thoughts and feelings, in a STUDENT LIFE. I can't quite believe that all that pink atmosphere, fulfilled dreams and loves that end up almost perfectly reciprocated.

But it's shoujo, and I can't do much * throws a rose *.

 If you got to that point: Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it (and if not, all the better) <3
