A sweet romance, built around an off-the-wall science fiction premise, about reconnecting with "the one who got away".
Story (7): The premise is very interesting: a guy reconnects with his ex-girlfriend, who mysteriously hasn't changed at all and has some connection to an alien orb floating over the city. And at first it's handled well. But as the story moves forward, the twists and turns of the plot become a little hard to follow, and the explanation doesn't entirely make sense. It's always interesting, however, and the plot holes didn't bother me too much.
Art (7): The artwork was solid.

This is probably one of the highest ratings I've given to all of the manga that I have read so far, but I feel that it's well deserved. Ashita Double is a great sci-fi romance story that has bits of sweetness, sadness and laughter mixed into it.
It's hard to talk too much about this manga without spoiling the plot because there is a central mystery here that gets unraveled over the 30 chapters that concerns Ashita herself. That being said, the pacing of this reveal as well as the overall pacing of the story is a real treat. It's nice to see a manga ... Apr 16, 2017
This is my first review manga on this site, my friend introduces this manga and I can't stop read it until the end. It's a romance manga with sci-fi elements with a great story backline. The art is good, not the best but I think it's ok, but sometimes I feel the lips of present Ashita is too big lol. About the story and plot, I think author has created a creative story with 2 girlfriend, present and past for main, and because of this, Kyouichi decide to choose one. Overall it's a sweet, great short manga for people to enjoy with no doubt.

Ashita Dorobou is a romance manga with sci-fi elements that talk mostly about getting together with the one you love and coming in terms with your feelings.
When talking about the story of the manga, we can separate the story in two aspects:the more sci-fi aspect, and the more romance one. I will separate them because in the sci-fi aspect the story fail horribly and in the romance aspect it succeed quite well. So let's dive in. In the sci-fi parts we have an UFO that appear just above Tokyo, and just as it appears the main character meets with his ex-girlfriend and reunites with her. After ... May 26, 2019
tl;dr: A story that gets a convoluted at times, but overall works well in telling a good story that conveys some good points.
This manga I thought got a bit messy towards the end, but overall was put together quite well. When it comes to the plot, there were a few plot threads, though they acted more like layers building upon each other, each with their own points focused on character development in the two main characters. The first layer is with Kyouichi living a tremendously boring life but managing to escape it thanks to Ashita, wherein she's ultimately his desires come to life. He is full of regret ... |
