Yuuki Ashikaga is a high-school freshman at Sakakino Academy. While working as a student librarian, he grows enamored of Kotonoha Katsura, a girl who frequents the library. Unfortunately, Kotonoha is already dating Makoto Itou, another schoolmate.
The situation is further complicated when Chie, Yuuki's older sister introduces him to Roka Kitsuregawa, her kouhai in the basketball club. Roka becomes interested in Yuuki, who only has eyes for Kotonoha. In order to make him jealous, Roka lies and claims she already has a boyfriend, her former classmate Makoto Itou. Unfortunately for all of them, Roka's lie sets off a chain of events no one could have predicted...
Note: Cross Days takes place in the middle of the original School Days storyline and provides an alternate take on how things might have turned out.

CROSS DAYS review
"Oh Bullucks" was the first thing that popped up in my mind when I looked at this .When I first saw the picture of Cross Days, I immediately noticed something familiar. It was the girl. Kotonoha. The psychopath in the series School Days. I began to gain the bad memories from her picture and needed an hour to cool myself off. On the first page, I also noticed the picture of the three main characters from School Days and almost punched my monitor. After giving the first chapter a go, I realized that this was just like the happy start of School Days (Until
the cheating, f***ing, and pregnancy crap kicked in). And so, I tried to read the first chapter again and tried to forget ever reading and watching School Days. After doing so, I realized that this was a completely other story without Makoto (THE CUNT), Sekai (the CHEATING BITCH), and Kotonoha (THE INSANE TRAMP). This included Yuuki Ashikaga (a wimp), and Roka, who might be the heroine (not sure). The story was the normal fan-service, romance story I read almost every day. Nothing really stuck out except for the art. The art was somewhat childish and was fun to look at. The characters were quite bland except for Yuuki's sister. I only read this because I wanted to get it out of my way. Overall, I think this could be School Days 2.0 made with an even crazier ending, or a half decent one.

CROSS DAYS review
If you think that raping a girl just because you're irritated with her is fine, then this manga is for you. Then there's the couple falling in love for no particular reason. It's a classic deus ex machina. Who needs a reason? Just throw the couple at each other and that of course results in love. The story also tells you about one particular relationship fairly early on. Then, surprise, one of the girls involved drops a bombshell by informing the main character, who already knew what was going on, about what was going on. And he is surprised! It doesn't work folks. It's only two volumes. Nobody did any checking of the plot to see that they were repeating themselves before it was published. Spoiler of sorts: The most disgusting thing of all is that the guy attempting the rape, even though he's stopped, suffers no consequences. After all, it's the girl's fault cause she ticked him off. |
CROSS DAYS review
Cross days is a cute manga up to the part where you find out Itou's true colors and then it kinda just made me mad after that.It Gives us guys a bad name, but over all it was storyline and had good art but just a little dark.

CROSS DAYS review
Let's get this out of the way: I love school days. The anime is on my favorites. Trust me, as much as you want to avoid this manga anyway, it's twice as shitty if you're actually a school days fan.
The first thing that you have to understand is that this is NOT an "addition" to the franchise. It doesn't add extra detail to the original plot or anything like that. It takes place on an alternate timeline where the school days harem ending occurred, effectively killing any drama there and creating a stupid anticlimax. This series is actually pretty big on anticlimaxes. There's at least 3. There was actually a happy ending. Yeah. A happy ending. In a part of the school days franchise. The worst part is that it looked like the ending would be tragic and slightly redeeming, although the tragedy seemed kind of forced in the first place, but tragedy was somehow (it was literally physically impossible) averted and it was shit. School Days is known for not following conventions of the industry, but this manga did just that. The two MCs were inexplicably shipped by the MC's sister for the sake of the plot. The MC dressed up like a girl after an extremely convoluted line of reasoning convinced him it would somehow help his situation. Why? For the sake of the plot. School Days was a clever deconstruction. This is a cliché shounen romance slash gender bender. The characters were empty and dull. The main character was a pathetic loser with no redeeming qualities and the heroine was a very typical tsundere. The characters from School Days were simplified or just changed completely. Makoto became a generic villain, Taisuke became a cliché and possibly homosexual bromantic foil, which is the very archetype he originally deconstructed, Sekai became nothing but a slut, and Kotonoha was as boring as always except she never really went yandere. Setsuna was my favorite character in the anime, but here she is reduced to an unimportant plot-device. None of the characters were good, realistic, or redeemable in any way, form, or shape. The ending of School Days is the best part for most people. Well, in this manga Makoto is an even bigger douche, and a rapist to boot, but he ends up fine. One funny thing about the original series was Makoto's flawless skill with the ladies despite being a bland loser. It was satirical and entertaining. Him losing this aspect of his character, and not being able to seduce the female lead really made him less entertaining. I would have honestly preferred it if Makoto ended up NTRing the main character and subsequently adding the trap version of him to his harem, or just making him kill himself. The best part of this manga was the protagonist's reactions to Makoto's sexual escapades and the one of the best parts of the original series was the tragedy. This series ultimately failed to capitalize on either of these things and just ended up with wasted potential. Really, the whole thing was nothing but wasted potential, which completely kills the enjoyment factor. The art was quite lackluster. The characters were dreadful. Overall it was a bad experience that, despite its length, I wouldn't recommend to anybody, least of all an actual fan of the franchise. Story: 1/10 Art: 3/10 Characters: 1/10 Enjoyment: 3/10 Bonus: 2/10 Overall: 10/50 or 20% |
CROSS DAYS review
Cross Days was a fairly interesting side story surrounding the events and leading up to the conclusion of School Days, but also one that made me think twice about Makoto as a character. While Cross Days focused on fellow classmate Yuuki Ashikaga and his series of unfortunate (and sometimes comical) misunderstandings, in a subtle way it also gave the reader a different perspective on School Days main character Makoto Itou that radically changed the way I felt about him.
The true purpose of Cross Days, I felt, was to not simply tell a related side story to School Days, but give us a different perspective or a greater depth to the characters we knew and loved (or hated) from School Days. Even though his story has merit and entertainment in its own right, Yuuki Ashikaga’s true purpose in Cross Days is to uncover deeper moral issues of the School Days characters and observe and judge them from the reader’s point of view. He not only acts as the reader’s moral voice in the actions of all those involved, but also, oddly enough, becomes Makoto Itou’s conscience; something Makoto severely lacks and needs. The art work reflects the same level of creativity and flow from the original series. Moments of emotional expression are well drawn and panel flow was done in a manner that was easy enough to follow with few exceptions. My only real complaint would be the penultimate conclusion of the story in the final panel which can potentially lead to confusing the reader as the character is drawn in such a way that makes you question the identity of the person in question. This point, while still shocking once I realized who it was, frustrated me because I had to spend a few moments in complete confusion until I figured out who it was. Cross Days offers the reader a chance to see a side of Makoto they did not see in School Days. Yuuki’s comedy/tragedy of timing and misunderstandings is a pretext to a part of Makoto’s personality we did not witness from the main story line. While the primary love triangle story revolves around Yuuki Ashikaga, Kotonoha Katsura, and Roka Kitsuregawa the true purpose of Cross Days appears to provide the reader an opportunity to reexamine character personalities in School Days that were not fully explored in the primary story arc. |
