Sypnosis ~
Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants
to "reset" her image and life as a new high school student. Because
she's cute, she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and
because of a misunderstanding, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one
boy she has ever liked, Tanaka-kun.
Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but now things can never be the same again. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that never even started from three years ago?

Dopes Says ~
The story isn’t mind blowing which it doesn’t need to be to
be good, it’s unique in a refreshing way. I am a huge fan mangaka Io Sakisaka I
even wrote about Strobe edge in my previous posts a long while back. When I
heard about Ao haru ride I was like I must read, and to be honest it didn’t
fail me at all. I loved every inch of it although downright frustrating in some
parts it was well worth the read.

What I enjoyed most about the story was it wasn’t
complicated, it was about past lovers meeting again in an unpredictable way and
taking it from there. What I really enjoyed was all the characters their
presence in the Manga itself was great, we found a compelling story from all of
that, we also had the typical triangle for two characters and it was really
interesting.
Tanaka, to be honest was a confused young boy with a deep
regret in his life. He was lost but what was great about his character was the
thought process of his. We knew he couldn’t get rid of Futaba but couldn’t keep
her close either he was always confused. So the story progress in a slow way
for him.
Futaba is very headstrong, she never gave up which I loved.
Most shoujo characters did but she did cry a lot, but at least she tried to
move on with Kikuchi which I found amusing because I really loved their
encounter. She made things happen and made effort in alot of things to get
together she made memorable moments and friends and finally got the person she
wanted again through trials.
The side characters were also a very interesting thing to
see where we get to enjoy another side triangle but with a little twist to it.
So it wasn’t at all bad more refreshing in a way!
Music was great in the show! I really enjoyed it was well
put for the show and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
Io Sakisaka's art is probably really cute, I
enjoy all her artwork and manga because of the way it it. I never get tired of
reading it ever!
Dopes Dislikes ~
Besides the odd short
episodes which didn’t clearly show the rest of the Manga. I wasn’t disappointed
with anything else, although I wish it could have added a few OVAS or so! There
was a live action for this Manga and I really didn’t enjoy it, it wasn’t that
good so if you want to be disappointed don’t watch it if you do go for it.
Dopes concludes ~
Overall, I would give this
a thumb up for the Manga and the Anime! Although the anime didn’t show more it
was well worth the watch. The atmosphere in the show deciphers a lot compared
to the Manga but no fret! It is worth the read and the watch as it is! Its not the best melodrama but it hits a spot
with the characters back-story and all it’s sweet. I really liked it, so if you
haven’t checked it out make sure you do, or read it if you want to first.

I shall leave you with some songs :3 ~
