My Thoughts:
I usually do a star system, but for this one, I am not. I like the premise. 4 stories of unrequited love, which makes each character see the other person and turn away. However, the first volume just was a little confusing for me. I could not really get a good grasp of any of the characters. Because it was supposed to be on 4 characters, I knew it would skip around a bit, however, I kept losing the thread and none of the characters was really memorable.
I think with volume 2, if the pace slows down and perhaps takes one character at a time, it may be easier for me to follow. For now, it was confusing enough that I wondered if I was reading it correctly.
I did enjoy the pun of the main male character, Ohtani and the Japanese/American baseball star. Shohei is hot this summer.
From the Publisher:
One might call Hikari extraordinarily ordinary. One day, she takes up a new hobby--imagining what a romance would be like between her pretty friend Mari and the cute guy in their class, Ohtani. It's all in harmless fun, until the roles start to get tangled in Hikari's mind. Does she really have to be just the best friend in this love story? And just who is on Ohtani's mind when his eyes drift away...?
