In the Clear Moonlit Dusk 1

Product Information

So I really like what this book is doing, but it feels like it’s taking its sweet time doing it. I might be wrong, but it felt a whole lot more introspective than we normally get in something like this, but without commensurate anything else to balance itself it kind of wobbles. Please be advised I received an advanced reviewer copy of In the Clear Moonlit Dusk volume 1 from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Again, this whole volume was just super refreshing and deeply enjoyed it! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this series because I love the premise and how it's a "different" kind of shojo! Definitely recommend!

This was a cute shojo manga with very lovable characters. I love the pacing of them and I like how Yoi doesn't get swept along with the Ichimura. Both of the characters felt comfortable with each other and Yoi , being called as a prince and like a guy her whole life and suddenly being treated like a girl its refreshing for her. Ichimura's curiosity turned out for them to getting to know each other and them slowly developing feelings for one another.I love Yoi’s character, she’s a really great prince-type who just wants to have somebody think of her as an actual woman (I do feel she could probably grow her hair out and the series would end, but shhh…). Despite having her very wounded side, she’s no less of a badass when she needs to be too. This is the art style that I really love especially when it comes to shojo manga. I don't have to say much, this art style is everything I need to make me interested to read the story. It is so neat and clean, and all the characters look really good! If you are searching for shojo manga with pretty art style, this should be in your list! nowadays not only is a good means of entertainment that is good for your mental health but also save

The art is lovely, the story & characters mediocre. Maybe those who haven't read many shoujo manga will be able to enjoy this more.

The art style is simplistic and perfectly captured the scenes. I love the clean panels and layouts making me as a reader appreciate the details and I just love reading them.

This was a wonderful and refreshing shojo! While I don't feel it's uncommon for shojo manga to have young women characters who struggle with how they look and/or feel insecure, Yoi honestly hits a whole other level in the world of shojo manga! In no way do I meant that as disrespectful to our "Prince" because I just found her story to be one of the most realistic views on self-image that it made me feel seen as a reader. Due to Yoi's more quiet nature, I'm very thankful we have the more daring and outspoken Ichimura! I really liked his character and how he really didn't give a crap of what others thought about him. Even though I feel at one time he pushed himself onto Yoi, I admire that he is respecting her boundaries and that he himself isn't pushing lines. He genuinely cares for our main girl and excited to see where that goes! I FINALLY READ MIKA YAMAMORI SENSEI'S NEW WORK!! Ok, I've only read one volume, the first one, but I've finally started it. I'm so excited for this new story of hers. I've seen my friends love this and share all kinds of scenes on social media, I'm giddy about getting to those. I have a deep love for Daytime Shooting Star, so I cannot wait to continue reading this story. It's something she seems to have resigned herself to at the beginning of the series. While she isn't overtly bothered by being called a prince, we also get the impression that she's not all that thrilled with it either, resulting in her keeping as much to herself as possible to avoid interactions with smitten girls. She's uncomfortable with their adoration, not necessarily because they're female, but because a piece of her simply doesn't like being framed as masculine. It's gotten to the point where she largely avoids most people because she's not comfortable with the way they react to her, and apart from two friends in class, Yoi is very much a loner.ebookjapanマンガ大賞2023の大賞受賞.

Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki (うるわしの宵の月) also known as In the Clear Moonlit Dusk is a Shojo manga series written and illustrated by Mika Yamamori. Pineda, Rafael (April 7, 2022).

That still leaves, of course, the other half of the romantic couple-to-be. Frankly, Kohaku’s character is a bit difficult to get a handle on but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Given Yoi’s status as the lead character, it makes sense to let the reader look on in intrigued confusion just as she does. The resultant picture we get it one of a character who acts fairly inconsistently, largely due to his being unsure of how to approach Yoi. He shifts considerably in likability from scene to scene, with the worse moments coming from how forceful he can be. With that said his brashness can also be endearing at times, such as when he calls some girls out about the way they’re discussing his and Yoi’s potential relationship. Time will tell how much this relationship proves to be one worth rooting for to succeed. In a way, it’s a shame they move past the part where he thinks Yoi’s a guy and is still infatuated with her anyway. There’s a great chance for a little ‘love is love’ message that they don’t manage, although I do love Yoi’s two friends - one is big on her BL and figures that Yoi is close enough that she can ship it anyway.
