Goodreads Synopsis:
Cell phone novelist
Yukina Himuro has decided that, in order to satisfy her fans' demand for
love stories, she must experience romance firsthand. But with her icy
reputation, how can she find someone willing to play the part of
boyfriend? By blackmailing the most popular boy in school, of course!
Review:
The release of this
series has slowed down immensely, and I’m not sure why. It sucks, mostly,
because I want more.
The cliffhanger
from the last volume introduces a new character, Shigure’s brother, who clearly
tormented Mami in the past. But that all falls on the backburner for the
majority of this volume, as Yukina is forced to choose between Shigure and
Akira.
And, frustrating
enough, she chooses wrong. Her impulsive action proves wrong when she has a
hard time continuing her cell phone story, and can’t keep Shigure off her mind.
But she doesn’t know how to take it back, and she doesn’t want to hurt or lose
Akira, even if she only sees him as a brother.
Even if I’m
frustrated with Yukina’s decision, and I feel so bad for Akira (and Mami, since
I like her with Akira), I do enjoy the depth to her story we see. Yukina can’t
figure out what to do with Shigure’s character, and thus immerses herself in
his head. This shows her Shigure in a new light, and that makes it even harder
to stay with Akira.
At the end of the
volume, we got to see how Yukina’s parents met, and what Akira’s father had to
do with it. It was adorable.
I miss this series,
and I am not looking forward to the wait for the next one.
