"Sitting alone in my tiny little universe. Waiting for someone to come and find me."
[Contains up to Volume 6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yamamori Mika is one of the best at combining innocence and depth in her romances. While Hirunaka no Ryuusei is her most famous work, Tsubaki-Chou Lonely Planet features something that Mika Sensei excels at: everyday life.
Of the various series I’ve read or watched that centers on a character’s daily life, this series stands out. Most of the story takes place at home instead of at school (which I prefer) and entire chapters can be about the romantic moments that happen during breakfast, while going out to dinner, or taking a trip to the supermarket. Sound boring? If it was any other writer it would be.
Mika Sensei frames her whole story around the exchanges between her two main characters. Technically there isn’t much story going on, but there doesn’t need to be. Every moment feels authentic, and Fumi’s innocent but overflowing feelings give extra power to her interactions with Sensei. Also, unlike a lot of shoujo that can grow annoying, there are developments that happen in the relationship and it doesn’t take forty chapters for the main girl to figure out her feelings. It’s well-paced and there’s always a new pairing moment around the corner. Even if it was a chapter about shopping for rice, I was dying to see what would happen next. (It shows how awesome Mika Sensei is that she can extend a shopping trip for rice into two chapters and make it one of my favorite parts of the series.)
I also have to include that TCLP was the first manga I read since I took my trip to Japan. Not only did the streets, houses, and Fumi’s life in the suburbs look exactly like what I saw in Japan, in the middle of the series they go to the Inari Shrine in Kyoto, one of the places I visited, and it looked the same in the manga as it does in real life. Realism is a constant theme with this manga.
I easily fell in love with this series and the adorable romance it presents. I love how down to earth the characters are and Fumi manages to be innocent but still mature, similar to Suzume in HnR. And I can’t leave out one of the best parts: Akatsuki Sensei. Such a great, nuanced male lead. He’s reclusive and super introverted which makes it that much harder for him to form relationships. And he is seriously hot. I don’t want to be THAT girl, but the way Mika draws Sensei is ridiculously sexy and there’s no other way to put it. And Mika does it on purpose. The characters can be having a simple conversation and yet Sensei is drawn in such a sensual way it adds sexual tension to everything. Yet the manga is PG. Because Yamamori Mika is a PRO.
If you’re looking for a new romance, I highly recommend this manga. Be warned: It isn’t completed yet and chapter releases can be slow. It’s worth it though.
Note: I am still confused about Sensei’s name. After double checking I believe Akatsuki is his first name and Kibikino is his last. This still makes no sense to me since multiple people call him Akatsuki and no one EVER calls him Kibikino, but according the the Wiki page and the Japanese spelling of his name, Akatsuki is his first name. I am fascinated that Sensei is okay with people calling him by his first name and if anyone can help me figure this out, please leave a comment.

*i freaking love this, it's really well edited and Tsubaki-chou is my favorite manga so T.T* About your review of the manga, i completely agree, i loved that it was most about the everyday life instead of everything happening at school. It was easy to see the characters' growth, Fumi's personality was such a delight to me because i'm honestly tired of the typical girl in every shoujo manga, as well as Sensei's personality, he wasn't the cold dude just because that's how many other mangakas portray the male leads like that, he was just introverted with not much experience about how to show his feelings to others. One of the things that made me a big fan of Mika Sensei: her art style, i freaking loved both Fumi and Akatsuki Sensei, and i totally feel you, i'm not someone who becomes obsessed over 2D boys hahaha but Sensei is so freaking sexy. I loved everything about this manga.

months ago, I finished the hirunaka no ryuusei and i really didn't get moved on about the ending then I discovered this manga but then I found that it has the same author, tbh I got trust issues😭 I was really attached to satsuki sensei and it really startled me when the second lead won than the mc that's why I hesitated at first but I still read it though. Yeah i'm relieved they end up together, seems like the author likes age gap relationships.
