This manga is like a person with hidden talents. People will only discover the persons' talents by getting more noticed. Therefore, this manga deserves the spotlight. The story isn't unique but the plot is very well written. The character's personality is very bright and refreshing, the atmosphere is warm, and relaxing, and the manga itself is very enjoyable. The pace is just right, no third parties, happy feeling! This manga is about character development, romance, friendship, creating stronger bonds with different people and trying to do something new.

Story: 10

The story isn't very unique. Popular guy meets shy girl and they fall in love. Why ... did I rate it a 10? Well why not?! Here are my reasons:

-The pace: It's not fast, its not slow either. It's perfect, just the way I like it!!
-Genre: It did say Romance, Shoujo right? Well it definitely focused on both equally. I love romance shoujo mangas. The romance is not very strong and it is not week aswell. It has the right amount in the manga.
-Friendship: Seeing how strong Risa's and Yuuko's friendship is really amazing. They both do things for eachother at any cost. They keep their promises, cover eachother's mistakes, doesn't hide anything, and sticks up for eachother. True friends.
-Events: The situations they went through, you could definitely relate to. All the inexperience love going on, the nervousness, the skipping-a-heartbeat moments, and all the cute things they go through.
-Flow: The plot is very smooth. It doesn't make you want to punch your screen or scream in frustration, it makes you feel very relaxed and happy.

The story itself is very enjoyable.

Art: 10

You just cannot give the art a "10". The art is very unique and cute. As far as I know, i have not seen a manga with this kind of drawing before. Chibi is very adorable!! I love their hair and especially the eyes!! Definitely refreshing!

Character:10

-Risa: Shy, cute, inexperience with love, true friend, cheerful
-Yuugure: Popular, Top Rank in school, mostly ever girl liked him, confident, outgoing, inexperienced with love, cool

Both the two main characters are the complete opposites of eachother yet they are very compatible. All characters in Nagareboshi Lens are likable!! The guys are flippin attractive and Risa and Risa's friends are really pretty!!

Enjoyment: 10

I'd be lying if I said i dont check sites everyday whether the manga was updated. You just can't miss a chapter or any little single detail in this manga. I've re-read this manga six times and watched the OVA three times. I never got sick of it. I love Nagareboshi Lens and it is my favorite manga out of all my favorites. You'll love every chapter and will be craving for kore chapters after reaching the last page.

Overall: 10

I truly love this manga.

It is inspiring and very cute! You cannot miss this manga if you're into romance shoujo mangas. The OVA was not satisfying so I started reading the manga from the start. I was very glad to read this manga and will be sad when it ends.

Well, I hope my review helped!! Im not very good with making reviews but I just had to share my thoughts about my favorite manga!♥♥♥

To all romance shoujo manga lovers out there, this is a must read.



Well, Happy Reading Everyone!!(:

Please, don't give up on NAGAREBOSHI LENS!!

I like the anime but I LOVED THE MANGA!! (MUST READ THE MANGA!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE KIMI NI TODOKE)

The rating of Nagareboshi Lens may look like a "D+" or almost to "C-", but overall, I watched it and I liked it. It's not as bad as you think it is!! I think everyone should give it a try if you like the shoujo/romance genres, and if you also like those fluffy, heartwarming feelings when you watch an anime. I highly suggest reading the manga(currently ongoing) right after watching this 18 min. OVA. You will not believe how ... much stuff that was not included in that eighteen minutes you just watched.

I want to start off with the story: 8

The story is nothing special or extra ordinary than other shoujo romance stories. Both two people(the two obvious ones) live in different worlds because one of them is just plain and the other is the top rank in school. They met eachother, realizing it was love at first sight and then randomly jumped to them saying that they were going for two weeks. In the anime, the story did NOT include: how they actually got together, when they started going out, who asked who and all the other cute stuff ect. ect. That's what bothered me the most. The scene starts off with them meeting eachother then randomly just jumps to them actually going out without any explanations. The next few minutes left of the eighteen minutes is just them doing their own thing. I really do recommend reading the manga. Not only reading the manga fills you in the "plot-holes", there are EXTREMELY cute moments that the anime 100% missed.

Art: 10

Some people hate these kinds of drawings but I love "Chibi"!!(: Im inlove with Risa's hair, eyes, especially her natural blushing cheeks. Yuugure-kuns eyes amaze me. It's just a wow. The art is somehow similar to kimi ni todoke but Nagareboshi Lens's is drawn in the young, middle school stage and KNT is drawn in an older, highschool stage. Their smiles are similar as well. I think the art really sands out in this anime.

Sound: 10

Sound isn't bad or good. It's just okay. The character's voice aren't annoying or oblivious, I think that it really suits them and their personality.(:

Character: 10

The characters is what pulled me in this anime. I love those "popular guy liking simple girl" romance/shoujo animes. Lets start off with Risa. Risa is a simple as she can be, curly hair, no experience with love what so ever but she does dream of seeing someone "sparkle". She is best friends with Yuuko, she would always back her up, help voluntarily with school work, and gives advices. Risa is also often shy to tell Yuuko some embarassing things such as(who she likes). Yuugure-kun on the other hand is the total opposite. Yuugure is the most hottest and the most popular guy in school. He is in Class 2 which is on the opposite building as Risa is in. He is known the "Top Rank". Most of the girls have a crush on him. Yuugure has never had a girl friend or first love until recently. Both main characters are both lovable and just really cute. You'll love the characters from the begging to the end. Risa is one of the cutest girl I've ever seen and Yuugure is one of the hottest guy I've ever seen. I've got nothing against these characters!!

Enjoyment: 8

I didn't really enjoy the anime as much as I did with the Manga. Eighteen minutes was just rushed and was time consuming. I still wouldn't have thought of making an 18 min. OVA if there were so many plot holes. It was just not right, it's like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. The anime only had the border of the jigsaw puzzle and picture(all the main events) were missing. I still enjoyed it because it gave me the same "fluffy" feeling that kimi ni todoke gave me. It would have been better if this was turned into a series. it would have been MUCH MUCH better. Watch the anime for the fun of it and read the manga if you're still hooked(which i know you will.)

Overall: 8

I did not hate this anime nor love it. Based on the rating, I really thought I'd hate and I prepared myself for the worst but it wasn't. It was quick and it was okay! I guarantee you watch it!! And don't forget to read the manga! Start from the very beginning because there were more things that happened!!(;

Well here is my review!! I hope I helped!

This is my first ever review and this might not be as helpful.. Hehe.

Story: 9

I think that the plot was amazing!! It was very unique and very interesting. I'm not very interested in animes that involves sports but this was a very fantastic anime and I just loved it. I rated it a nine because it was ALMOST perfect. The story could be a bit slow and drags through out the episode and just cuts off to the very exciting part, then the episode ends, leaving you eventually hanging. Cliffhangers pretty much on every episode and I would always check everyday to see if there ... was a new episode!!

Art: 10

HOLY MOLY!! Their eyes are amazingly gorgeous!! Especially Taichi's ^_^! I just love the animation and like I said, their eyes. Chihaya is freaking beautiful, and Taichi is FLIPPING hot. I love these kind of Art. It somehow reminded me of Kimi Ni Todoke, just a bit.

Sound: 10

The sound was not much of a big deal to me but I think that the sounds were pleasing.

Characters: 7

Don't get me wrong, the characters were very lovable and inspirational. But what irritated me a bit is that I really wanted things to happen between the main three characters Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata. But then Chihaya is waaaay too into karuta. But I guess it's not the anime producers fault since the anime was not listed in the romance genre.

Enjoyment: 10

Even though there weren't any romance, I wanted to have atleast a bit of signs of pairings in this anime. I do ship TaichixChihaya ALOT but I am also considering about shipping ArataxChihaya. I really like this anime. I enjoyed every bit of it, watching this anime wanted me to play Karuto soooooooo bad!!-_- It looks really fun and I grew interest in it!o:

Overall: 9

Just an outstanding anime. I'm really glad that I found this anime and watched it.
