I feel like Houkago, Koishite is one of the most generic shoujo I've ever read, and I've read quite a lot. Shoujo are often not terribly original, and as a fan, I'm not necessarily looking for originality, but I feel like Houkago, Koishite has nothing to distinguish it at all. The characters don't feel to me like characters so much as very generic character archetype blank slates that are there just to hit all the right beats at all the right times, in order to follow the extremely route shoujo formula. There's the kabe-don, here's the sleeve-roll, drying the hair, hiding together in the futon.

Story: The story of Houkago, Koishita, might seem a bit too regular at first. And yes, it's pretty much like all the shoujo romances, but somehow this one had something so eye-catching, that I just had to keep on reading!!

Okay simple way to review this, it was generic. It's mid. Nothing really special.
But I just really read this cause one it was completed, I didn't wanna wait for updates so if you're looking for a shoujo manga that's rich in plot, this isn't it. The female lead was dense as fck. Literally the 2 guys are giving all the signs in the world that they like her but she couldn't get the point. I gave it a 7 but as I'm writing this review, I might change it to 6 cause I realized there wasn't really any much reason as why it ...

Very light-reading, feel-good manga. It's got a good mix of drama and seriousness, lots of comedy, and a surprising range of deep emotions. I will say that the beginning is a bit slow and repetitive, but, if you give it a few chapters, things do start to pick up.
The story itself is pretty good. Nothing fantastic, but it was complex enough that the narrative gave readers multiple threads to keep up with and follow. Additionally, it added some depth to characters in an otherwise fairly straightforward story. The art is the zenith of the manga. The characters and settings are very beautiful and carefully ... |
