I seem to be adding to my collection of them. Though they'll likely dwindle down a bit once I get out of the mood for making Wallflower icons.
But yeah, the actually quality is...not always there. But the spirit is always spot on. And every time you go "you know, this mangaka is actually a bit lazy..." she goes and kicks an annoying trope in the face and reminds us how awesome Sunako and Sunako/Kyohei is.
I mean, part of me will love the mangaka forever simply by taking the pretty, perfect, popular girl and having her adore the weird girl and be her cheerleader, and not only not fall for the rebel punk alpha lead, but be alternately annoyed by and ignore him when not actively shipping Sunako/Kyohei and go for the nice, slightly-social-awkward beta guy.
The problem with this manga, I think, is that for 20 volumes, nothing happens. I love it. I do, I adore it. But sometimes I just wish to god that SOMETHING happens, that Kyohei and Sunako will FINALLY realize their feelings for each other or something. There's only so long you can drag out a series because I think the themes of it are starting to be repeated over and over again. And if there's too much of that, the series will lose its appeal. Which would be sad, because I love YamaNade. 16 was a great volume. XDD I love the weight losing story. And that Kyohei tricked her into attending the party by pretending that one of the guests was a world champion arm wrestler, ahahahah.
I tend to think Kyohei knows how he feels. He just has too strong a sense of self-preservation to let on. Sunako, though, is still in denial land.
every once in a while, we are gifted with vague semblances of a plot, like looks into their backgrounds and Sunako's relationship with her aunt and how much better she does in society than she did originally, but mostly, our plot is the mangakas list of annoying tropes and cliches to kick in the face.
