Awe!! The first page grabbed my attention immediately! Aoi asked Komatsu to be his girlfriend so smoothly. :)
Aoi: Hey Komatsu, do you have a boyfriend?
Komatsu: Hm? No, I don't.
Aoi: Then, can I be a candidate? Aoi even smiled... ><
It's great to learn that Komatsu is very passionate and dedicated to photography! Taking pictures for her newspaper club is great practice! :) And it's nice of her to take personal requests, and smart of her to ask for money in exchange! XD
LOL, Komatsu really had a reporter's heart, when she took photos of Seki (captain of the basketball team) and Moriwaki (from Class B) flirting as potential evidence. ;P But...it could be that Seki and Takeko haven't announced that they broke up? According to Aoi, this isn't the first time she invaded people's privacy... ^^
OMG... Aoi is bold, for approaching Komatsu to ask for her answer to his confession. :O I know people who wouldn't have this much courage... Aoi is patient, for waiting for a whole month!
Ou...Aoi seems popular then. A member of the Student Union, Komatsu receives requests from girls to take photos of him...He's definitely well-liked.
A 17-year-old who has never had a boyfriend is normal. I understand Komatsu's perspective of not wanting her relationship with Aoi to be exclusive news reports, if she does date him... It makes sense if Komatsu wants to have an ordinary, peaceful dating life.
OMG, this is very easy to relate to -> "As friends, I didn't really know him that well. To suddenly date him is something I can't imagine myself doing..." I understand that feeling of not knowing whether you like someone or not, Komatsu! >< OMG, I love how realistic this story feels!
"You're so sensitive to other people's affairs, yet you can't even handle your own..." <-- Rai made a good point, lol. It's normal to know how to handle situations when you're not in it, lol.
LOL!! Aoi! XD OMG!! When Komatsu earnestly said, "Give me some more time to consider!", Aoi smiled and casually said, "No" with a heart. :P LOL, Komatsu's request to answer in a year did seem a little long... ^^ Starting a relationship when you're graduating doesn't sound too ideal... A week sounds reasonable. I like that Komatsu and Aoi are mature enough to talk about this, and that Aoi is so patient! <33
LOL, Komatsu's reaction when she saw Suzuki kissing a girl on the forehead. -> "It really is...IMPOSSIBLE! I can't see myself getting all flirty like that with someone!! I would absolutely die of embarrassment!"
I lol-ed at all of Komatsu's efforts to take good photos!! XD Please be careful. ~
When Komatsu saw Aoi with a girl (they probably came back from shopping), and thought, "I would have helped him if he asked me," did she start to like him?
T____T These sentences made me sad --> "Speaking of which, Aoi-kun is that kind of person: he's always surrounded by girls, pretty girls like this one. That's why, it's hard to picture myself dating him. I'm not pretty, and I'm always wearing sportswear. I have a bandage on my face. I don't wear makeup either." <-- BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN!! Who cares if you wear makeup or not?? Sportswear is easier to move in when you're taking photos, than a traditional school uniform! And that bandage will go away eventually! >< I think Komatsu is pretty. .______. What is she talking about?? I bet Aoi saw something in Komatsu, which is why he likes her, not those 'pretty' girls he's surrounded by. <3
LOL. Okay, I laughed when Aoi looked at Komatsu's direction, smiled, and made a peace sign for her picture. xD Awe, Aoi posed, even though he doesn't like his photos being taken. :-)
Honestly, I applaud Aoi again. He told Komatsu to look him in the eye, and reject him properly!! >< Komatsu didn't seem very confident when she rejected him...
Komatsu improving on her writing skills is what I like seeing! :) It's not good that Aoi was skipping class, but it was awesome to hear him say he read the sports festival article Komatsu wrote. :) I love seeing Komatsu's enthusiasm when she talked about Kengo, the runner! XD Komatsu talking about wanting to buy an SLR camera, travelling around the world to take pictures, and meeting different people and having many experiences... <3 She's so precious. Like Aoi, I feel happy when Komatsu talks about her passion. :) The way Komatsu puts her all in something she loves is amazing!
Aoi was nice for giving Komatsu a water bottle as a consolation product, since he saw her running up the stairs two steps at time. He's really considerate!! ><
OMG. Aoi ;__________; When Komatsu sighed in relief that he was leaving, he said, "You just sighed in relief, didn't you?" and "Because I will get hurt again." </3 He's so honest ;____; So Aoi liked someone before (wonder if Onee-chan will appear later?), and got his heart broken... He didn't want to get hurt again, so he didn't even look happy when Komatsu came to the Student Union office and even covered his ears!! ><
AH!! THAT ENDING!! Komatsu's "Please...take care of me..." and Aoi's "Me too <3" XDD I like that Komatsu laid out her feelings; she's inexperienced and doesn't think she's suitable for Aoi, but they'll start a relationship now!! Bravo to Komatsu for holding onto Aoi's arms and telling him her answer. (Komatsu thinks Aoi is cute, since he's kind and innocent. ^^)
I look forward to reading about Aoi and Komatsu's relationship! I think they're compatible. Heck, Komatsu is starting to like Aoi romantically, even if she isn't sure yet... :) I love the characterization. This chapter is an easy 5/5. <3 |
