きょうのキラくん１[Kyou no Kira-kun 1] by Rin Mikimoto

We have the girl who hides behind things (mostly I guess due to her past), a girl whose only friend is a cockatiel named Sensei, a girl bullied at school. Still I am really interested in those 365 days, will we see Kira decline in health? What will happen to him after 365 days? Will he die? Will he live? How will they go on as the days pass by and the time of his death is coming near? This isn't bad, it is just something that seems a bit standard with this kind of manga. It is a cute story, though a bit predictable and more of the same. The blurb seemed really interesting and the art looked pretty. I was looking for a new manga to enjoy, and I found this one. Still going to give it a chance if hopefully something different or some twists come up.Īnyway, is it just me or the screentone in this manga is kind of overused? Overall it's a quite funny and pleasing shoujo manga, with a note of not expecting more than that. Not that I can't always care about stereotypical manga, but when it seems to underline the tragedy genre and there's nothing really different compared to other shoujo, that's kind of unexpected. The main issue I have about this manga, though, is that the relationship of the two leads is just as stereotypical as the other school romantic comedies. It's still interesting to see his-currently-still-mysterious attitude. I find the other tragedy, on the dying character to be just okay, though. Perhaps I've read too much manga with the main characters having difficulties in socializing (to being bullied) or that this manga relied much on this issue that it became obvious and thus rather predictable.

I'll call it a stereotypical shoujo take on tragedy.
