This is my first review ever on MAL since I have started to use this site just a couple of months ago despite being a manga&anime fan for over a decade.

I have to come clean- I started with the anime when it came out, there was one thing that really piqued my interest and made me check this one out- the color picture of Fuuka herself for the anime thumbnail. then I started watching and by the time I was done with the anime I realized 2 things:
1- Fuuka(the character) has charmed me as few other characters ever did
2- something felt fishy with this anime, especially the ending.

And so with that, I went to the manga- chapter 1. and I read all the way to where Truck-Kun makes his appearance, and then everything fell into place.

Story 6 :
Highs and lows, sometimes it was thrilling and exciting but many times it was dragged out, over-dramatic and major plot twists were handled poorly

Art 8:

I liked the art style, one of the redeeming qualities of this manga.

Character 6 :

There was character development but a lot of it felt quite awkward, and overall I could not really connect on a deeper level to any of the characters in this manga except 1. more on that later.

Enjoyment 6 :

Reading this was sometimes very fun and exciting, but more often than not I was bored or frustrated by how things progressed(or didn't). but in the end, I did "enjoyed" this manga a bit more than i "didn't enjoy" it.

Overall 7:

I was lured in by one of the most mesmerizing characters in AnimeManga I have ever seen, I connected to her and sympathized with her more than any other character in this manga, and yet she was the one who had ended up as the most major plot-twist by having her meeting with the infamous Truck-Kun.

I will not forget easily the character Fuuka, she really captivated me and honestly, I have read a 204 chapters manga pretty much just because of her, but objectively speaking- this manga has lots of problems and I would not recommend it unless you did your research and know what you are heading into, but if you do, than its quite possible you will love this one despite its flaws.
