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. Mr. Shishio’s change of heart causes Suzume to
shut herself up in her room. When Suzume's mother returns to their
hometown for a brief stay, Suzume makes the sudden decision to return
home. But Yuyuka and Suzume's other Tokyo friends are determined to
bring her back.
Review:
Recovering from the breakup, Suzume needs to get away. Coincidentally, her mom is back home, and so she gets to go back home for a little while. It's nostalgic and sweet, her getting to see her old friends and be back at her old home. But her new friends miss her, and Uncle Yukichi is worried about her, and her new home wants her back after a point.
Despite my feelings about Shishio at this point, and all the brewing things between Suzume and Mamura (which I thought was done with!), I really like how all of this is handled. Suzume needed to step back, and she needed to see her mom, and she gets to take that time away and do that. And when she gets back to school, she's stronger for it.
I think I'm still for Shishio in the romance, but I do love Mamura. And getting to see his family again was really fun. I like Mamura, I just don't know if I like him as much for Suzume. But, honestly, I'm a little conflicted about it at this point.
Why'd Shishio have to go and ruin it?
