Breath of Flowers, Volume 1 by Caly Review

Looking for something cute and quick to read? Maybe you’re a manga pro, or someone who’s new to it like me. Either way, this might be what you want to pick up next. An adorable story about two teenage girls in high school, one who is mistaken for a boy, and the other, who is confused by the things that she feels for the other. Though their lives aren’t perfect, it’s a really sweet story and I’m glad I got the chance to check it out.

Other high school girls are obsessed with cute manga boys, but not Azami. She’s in love with a boy named Gwyn. Cute, blonde, and seemingly always cheerful, she shoots her shot, but is very shocked to find out that Gwyn is just pretending to be a boy so that she could get into the great sports program that their school has.

 

At first, Azami wants Gwyn to just forget about everything she told her, but finds herself compelled to get to know her better. After all, Gwyn feels the same way about her. They begin dating, and everything seems perfect, until problems start to arise. Drama starts to happen around the two, but they come out on the other side stronger than ever. That is, until Azami finds out that Gwyn has been starving herself and binding too tightly, hurting herself for something she shouldn’t have to be hurting over.

 

This book wasn’t anything like I expected, and although I read it very quickly, I think it took less than an hour to read the entire thing, I was really happy with the result. Azami is a fiery character, cute but quick to jump to conclusions and let her anger take over. Gwyn, on the other hand, is soft and sweet in the role of Azami’s prince charming. What will the future hold for the two? Only they know, but I’ll think about this story for a long time because of how innocent and sweet it was.
