Review: Girl Against the Universe

Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I actually give it a 4.6, but the rating system won't let me put that number here.

The summary called my attention. I started reading it and the circunstances around the main characters where intriguing enough that it kept me reading.

I really liked the story, the way that some things were described were interesting and easy to visualize. My favorite character was Jordy, his personality and stubborness in most situations were endearing and I loved that even after some upsetting moments, he wouldn't give up.

I understand that the main character's thinking was filled with her past experiences and fears and for that reason, there were parts where I wanted to shake her and make her see sence, but the people around her took care of that most of the time, so I was able to calm down my urges.


In conclusion, this was a great story, with funny, sad, dramatic and sporty(oh yeah, a plot around sports is another war to get me hooked) parts that made me keep reading until the very end.

Review: The Heiress and the Chauffeur, Vol. 2

The Heiress and the Chauffeur, Vol. 2 by Keiko Ishihara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Last vol of this series.

I liked that the heroine was a no-nonsense, strong willed person. It was interesting the way that the Class and Rank differences were potrayed in the story, the view of the Taishou Era society and how strongly the main characters felt for each other.

It had some predictable moments and some well-known tropes but, in the end, it was a good and entertaining story.

Review: So Cute It Hurts!!, Vol. 8

So Cute It Hurts!!, Vol. 8 by Gō Ikeyamada
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm used to the author's style, so all cliches and over the top cheesy and cute parts(Come on, the title is pretty much tells you what this is about) are things that I just let myself enjoy.

This manga is one of my guilty pleasures that reminds me of the chessy shoujo stories I used to read frequently, including some of other works by the same author.

This is vol 8 out of 15, and new feelings start to blossom, rivals declare intentions and the main characters' feelings are really awww inspiring.

Review: Say I Love You. Vol. 15

Say I Love You. Vol. 15 by Kanae Hazuki
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this Volume!

The transition from high school to college, from seeing your friends everyday to seeing them once in a while or never, college entrance exams, mixed feelings related about their future.

It's also a volume full of reflexions of the past/present and emotional growth since the start of the story till now.

I can't wait to read the next vol! I wonder when author is going to conclude the story. At the start of college life? In the middle of it? or are the characters going to fullfil their dreams one by one?

In conclusion, this was a great read and I recommend it.
