Love in Focus, Vol 3

Today’s post is on Love in Focus, Vol 3 by Yoko Nogiri.  It is 192 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has Mako with her camera on it. It is the third in the series, so you need to have read the first two to understand the characters and story. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, simple love stories, and slice of life manga.  The story is third person close of the main character, Mako. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book-  Swept along by Kei’s suggestion to give dating a try, Mako struggles to see where she really fits in. Meanwhile, Mitsuru has become instant, and in her attempts to get back the friendship they had, Make discovers his hidden past.  Mako, Kei, and Mitsuru now have to confront their own feelings, and they might get a little lost before they find their true answers…

Review- A good ending for a very sweet series. Kei is trying to get Mako to see him as more than a friend and she agrees to try and date him. That makes Mitsuru deal with his own feelings for Mako but he does not have the courage to speak up about them. Instead he pushes her away until his past comes back to see him. Some plot in this final volume but more character growth. All three have to face their feelings and they have to handle their feelings like caring human beings. For a love triangle manga, this is a good one with no stupid drama, just teens discovering themselves and what they want from the future. I enjoyed this manga and I would recommend it. 

I give this manga a Four out of of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. .
