Goodreads Synopsis:


Clueless country girl Suzume moves to Tokyo and finds her heart caught between two men!

After arriving in Tokyo to live with her uncle, Suzume collapses in a nearby park where she had once seen a shooting star during the day. A handsome stranger brings her to her new home and tells her they’ll meet again. Suzume starts her first day at her new high school sitting next to a boy who blushes furiously at her touch. And her homeroom teacher is none other than the handsome stranger!

Suzume has moved to Tokyo and is living with her uncle. With Mr. Shishio’s true feelings for her out in the open, Suzume tries her best to figure out if they are an item or not. Meanwhile, Mamura grows suspicious of Shishio and Suzume’s relationship.


Review:


We're getting some conflicting messages here. Suzume and Shishio are growing closer, even making plans for Christmas. Shishio seems to be taking every chance he can to be around Suzume, but then he gets pulled away during Christmas, and Suzume ends up hanging out with Mamura during a surprise walk.

Mamura is always in the background here, and he seems to be taking a few steps forward. I'm not sure where his journey is heading. Because Suzume and Shishio are super cute, and we get a few scenes of that in this volume. Slowly, they're progressing their relationship. Then there's Yuyuka, who is trying to be a single girl and yet this boy keeps coming around. I think this new information for her puts them on a more equal level, though.

I'm definitely getting intrigued by the side character relationships, but I'm still very invested in the main romance. Definitely still following.
