Byleth's Reviews

It has been a long time that I have read a shoujo manga that did not follow the stereotypical formula: female lead in love with “friendly” hot male (turns out he sucks, shocker), hot male in love with female leads best friend, hot best friend is actually a bad person, female lead is a door mat. This manga is NONE OF THESE THINGS. The relationships and interactions b/w characters feel real (aside from the usual unrealistic anime flare but that’s expected). Instead of waiting 50 chapters for the female lead to grow a backbone and defend herself, she confronts the issue almost immediately and COMMUNICATES CORRECTLY. It was so refreshing having the main character directly voice her concerns instead of being wishy washy and saying it in a round about way that can be interpreted incorrectly, or being overall vague in her responses. If you read a lot of shoujo you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. I am thoroughly enjoying this story, it’s well paced and doesn’t drag at all. This is worth my money.
