Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. This is one of those shojo titles that wears me out. The lead character just drones on and on in an angsty fashion as she fixates on a mysterious boy who acts strangely. Yadda yadda yadda. And the creator sprays word balloons and narration captions across the page in a scattershot fashion, letting them cross over and under each other, each containing only a few words and an infinite number of ellipses. Tracking a complete sentence over a couple pages and three or four word balloons is just plain tiresome. I could barely finish this volume. I am certainly not reading any more of the series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieTwinkle Stars (Omnibus 1)
"Sakuya Shiina lives with Kanade, her male cousin and foster parent. In times of pain and sadness, she's always taken comfort in looking up at the stars. One day, a mysterious boy suddenly shows up at Sakuya's house. He leaves her with kind words, but she has no idea who he is! All she has to go on is his name--Chihiro! Not one to let that deter her, she sets out in search of him with the reluctant help of her two best friends, Yuuri and Sei. Everyone says that Sakuya should just forget him, but she's oddly drawn to the curious boy. Then, a twist of fate allows them to meet once more! Will this meeting bring them closer together... or will the feelings between these lone stars remain forever in the dark?"--Back cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Fruits Basket is one of my favorite manga series ever (disregarding that garbage anime completely). That being said, I didn't go into this trying to compare Twinkle Stars to Furuba. I just wanted to enjoy it as another work by Takaya-sensei.
I don't feel like the same storytelling that I loved in Furuba is found here. Honestly, a lot of the dialogue and scenes were kind of jarring, and there are way too many speech bubbles within a single panel without any kind of indication of who is speaking by using the bubble's tail. Usually you can figure it out, but the use of ellipses was also way overdone, so some pages were scattered with unidentified, dragged out, repetitive dialogue.
Sakuya repeats herself...a lot. Any time she speaks, she says the same thing three times over before she gets anything else out. She's a good kid but she's also really obsessive, which was almost annoying. I'm not at all new to manga and the way characters act when they have feelings for someone, but her behavior after meeting Chihiro was kind of ridiculous, especially when she met him again and he was a complete jerk. Then the whole,
I just can't really describe it well. Something about it is off for me. I think it was a combination of pacing, odd decisions with dialogue/bubbles and plot points, Sakuya's obsessiveness and being obnoxious about it, repetitive monologues about why the stars are so great, and other characters being overly mysterious. I'm not typically this hyper-critical of a main character, and I don't DISLIKE Saku, but she's not particularly lovable to me at this point.
As for the artwork, I've always loved Takaya's art, though distinguishing between some of the male characters with the same hair color can be difficult because their faces tend to all look the same. There was one jerk character in a scene with shaded (not black) hair, and I thought he was a different character (who was friends with Yuuri) at first. So I was confused as to why he was suddenly being a jerk to Saku.
I have the whole series now, which is why I'm finally reading it. I'm still going to move forward with it and hope it gets better. ( )
