Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 9

Today's manga post is on Daytime Shooting Star, Vol. 9 by Mika Yamamori. It is 198 pages and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Suzume and Mamura on it. As it is the ninth volume in the series, you need to have read the first eight volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes coming of ages stories and high school drama. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Suzume. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Suzume has moved to Tokyo and is living with her uncle. Spring arrives, and Suzume and her classmates are now second-year students. There’s just one problem—all the first-year girls are obsessed with Mamura. Suzume and her friends come up with a plan to make Suzume his fake girlfriend, but Mamura is conflicted.

Review- Mamura is being chased by new girls and they are really annoying him and Yuyuka. So Yuyuka has the brilliant idea of Suzume being his fake girlfriend, to make them back off. It does work but it also makes Mamura think about having Suzume as his real girlfriend. Suzume is still getting over Mr. Shishio but she is in a different class now so more Mamura and less of Mr. Shishio. I like how Mamura is growing and being more open with his thoughts and feelings. But Suzume still hasn't noticed how he feels about her. That comes to a head and I can't want to see how she is going to react to that. 

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.
