Today's post is on Kiss Me at the Stroke of Midnight volume 2 by Rin Mikimoto. It is 170 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover is a close-up of the main male character looking flirty. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo magna, Cinderella stories, and funny love stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The story is told in third person close of the main character Hinana. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Roller Coaster!
As their newfound relationship deepens, high schooler Hinana and superstar Kaede must learn how to keep their romance a secret. For starters, Kaede is so busy! But even when he sneaks out to meet Hinana, she finds it impossible to keep up with his freewheeling spirit. Her routine life is suddenly filled with heart-racing excitement, but heartbreaking insecurities are never far behind. Luckily, her childhood bestie Akira is always there to remind her she's not alone. But when Hinana falls ill one summer day, who will be the first to show up at her door...?
Review- Another good volume in this new series. Hinana and Kaede are having to figure things out as they go on. But they do know one thing and that is they really like each other. So they have to find a way to make this work. Of course there are problems with Kaede's past with hints at his past and Hinana is still learning what she wants from a relationship. But they are cute and willing to work together towards a happy goal. We get mostly character development in this volume but there is some world building with the hints of Kaede's past. I liked seeing more of the side characters and how they add to Hinana and Kaede's character arc. I look forward to seeing where the story is going from here!
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
