Book Reviews of The Wallflower 14: Yamatonadeshiko Shichihenge (Wallflower: Yamatonadeshiko Shichenge)
Book Review: Rinse, wash, repeat!
Summary: 3 Stars
I want to let people know that although this isn't the kindest review, I really do love this series! It's just that well... the last few volumes have just been repetitive. It's the same situation over & over again. "Ugly" Sunako freaks people out. Something happens & then Sunako is either rescued by the pretty boys or she does something that shows her inner beauty. The end of the chapter always has her in the usual SD pose to show how freakish she is in comparison to everyone else. We get it, Tomoko, we GET it! Sunako's not a normal girl & the whole point of the story is that looks are decieving & that we should also accept ourselves as who we are.
In this latest volume we have several different occurences. We have a flooding of the basement where Sunako was previously held captive which leads to a nice bonding moment with Kyohei. We also get a little insight into Yuki (easily the most underused character) which is nice. It's about time he got fleshed out a little. Even so, the stories just don't seem to really satisfy anymore. They're great little snacks, but you just want something juicy & satisfying to sink your teeth into... and that's been missing since the early volumes. I can only hope that future volumes has something actually happening rather than the wheel-spinning that is going on right now.
Would I recommend this? Sure, I guess. It's a bit dull at the moment, but hopefully it'll recapture the magic it had early on.
