I'm not a fan of writing or reading of reviews, as i think to myself - "why would i rely on someone else opinion, when i can check it myself". So when my eye stumbles upon review - i dont want someone to retell me whole story. I want to know, whether or not author recommends us all to spend our time on title.
And here, as an author - i write - YES - with large letters. I wish i found this manga later, when it would be finished, but now i'm forced to write review with 13 chapters and hunger for more. I wont

Reader beware: this story is so vanilla you'll get a toothache. Itoshi no Karin tells the story of Yutaka Hanagasaki, an overlooked theme park gardener, and his fondness for the popular park mascot, Merun-chan. This is the author/artist's debut published work.

There are also some bits that ...

"It's a hard task to grow the flower we call "love", to make it fully bloom one day. But I want to nurture it as best I can, for the sake of my beloved Karin."
Itoshi no Karin is basically summed up in the quote above. Love isn't an instant connection nor is it a fairy tale where a prince and a princess live happily ever after.

Not the best in terms of actual romance, but it was really realistic and cute.
This will contain spoilers. The story was short and every chapter was sweet. I do have the complaint of never seeing them as a couple, as when Yutaka confessed, the manga ended. The whole manga was really heartwarming. The art isn't too unique, and there are some panel that are text boxes with a white background and some gradients. But, it didn't bother me, which is the most important part. The character art for Karin was cute, and the flowers were not rushed. The characters were thought out and real. Yutaka was relatable when ... |
