Polaris at Dawn Manga Reviews

I never thought Polaris would get licensed before Ore to Joushi no Kakushigoto... But that aside, I've been following this BL since vol. 1 came out in Japan. It seems cute and fluffy, though the student-teacher relationship might put people off... But please look past that. This story is SO much deeper. Vol. 1 is just worldbuilding. There's also a good amount of foreshadowing in it, so pay close attention to details! Polaris quite literally changed my life. Kosei in particular has captured my heart with how much he grew in the story. Yes, he's a brat! He's just some teenager that's growing up! That trait of his is what makes his development so much more heartwarming than if he wasn't so selfish and pushy. Next, you got Ayato. He does set boundaries (but Kosei tries to pass it) and also carries a bit of Something that's a spoiler. His development is great as well. Actually, all of the characters are great and the plot is too. Genuinely Kashima's best work by far and my current hyperfixation, LOL. I'd also like to mention that Kosei's and Ayato's names connect to the title! "Kosei" means "glittering star." The first kanji in "Ayato" relates to space from how Orihime weaves fabric by a river and the second kanji means "big dipper"! Kosei in particular actually represents Polaris, which people use to guide themselves. "Dawn" represents new beginnings...which is a good thing to keep in mind while reading! I could say so much more, but character limit. TL;DR: PLEASE READ POLARIS!
