Today's post is on Waiting for Spring volume 1 by Anashin. It is 208 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comis. The cover is pink with Asakura-kun on it. It is the beginning of a series. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo, high school manga, and sweet stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from the perspective of the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
from the back of the book- Mitsuki longs to experience true friendship, but she struggles to open her heart to others. As a high school student, she's determined to make a change. Her change to make friends comes from the last place she'd expect- four handsome, popular members of the basketball team! Although Mitsuki is wary about getting along with this school princes, she starts to see the possibility of a lasting connection when she gets to know their unique personalities. With a new group of friends, an exciting high school life may be waiting for this former wallflower!
Review- A cute start to a series. The plot gets going very quickly in this series and I liked that. We get to see the characters and get to know them soon. Mitsuki is a sweet girl that is very shy but she works hard to reach out to those around her. The boys make friends with her because she thanks them for helping another shy girl make friends. Add in her willingness to tell them the truth and they are friends. Through them, Mitsuki makes other friends but she still has a long way to go on this journey to being herself. I like how honest the characters are, there are of course misunderstanding and people get shy but when it is important the characters are honest. I look forward to the next one in the series.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
