The Wallflower 22

ヤマトナデシコ七変化 [Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge] #22

SUNBURN!

It’s summertime, and all Sunako wants to do is stay in the darkest depths of her room. But the guys are desperate to complete Sunako’s transformation into a lady—which means a weekend at a beachside resort. Now Sunako is trapped in a fancy five-star hotel and surrounded by creatures of the light. To escape on the train back to Tokyo she needs cash, and winning the Capture the Flag competition will solve that problem. Victory seems like a sure thing for Sunako—until she meets her competition: none other than Kyohei!

i have been waiting and waiting for book 22 to appear in stores near me, and low and behold this one appears. there were no other versions of these volumes in the store for me, just this. i got to save some money, but i must say i was rather surprised. all three volumes were just as good as the rest of the series. i guess you could say it was worth the wait.

Datemi il prossimo volume immediatamente

ero un pò preoccupata perchè era diventato piatto e senza nessuno scoop o nessun cambiamento..e finalmente è tornato ad essere il fumetto degli inizi...con le sue situazioni assurde, le risate e un pizzico di amore!

da leggere!

consigliatissimo

Overall series review (mostly) 4 Stars - so far, I’ve still got a few to go…
Additional: Like most long running series there are some duff chapters/volumes

快把梗玩完啦，該是收的時候……不過萬一真的扭回戀愛線也很奇怪。（寫於2009年）

3 stars and a half, because of the cliffhanger.

There were a couple of AWWWW moments here, on Kyouhei's side. First, when he lost on purpose on the beach, so he could 'protect' Sunako when her bikini was loose. And last, when the boys thought Sunako was in love with the Astronomy boy, and they thought the boy stood Sunako up to go with another girl, and Kyouhei ran to Sunako to giver her chocolates. AWWW so sweet, when we all know Kyouhei is not a 'sweet' guy.

Another chapter is about Noi-chi trying to be alone with Takenaga, but Kyouhei is in the middle, so she tries by any way to get rid off him. And that was pretty funny. I love the chemistry between No-chi and Kyouhei. They are always fighting. It is weird to 'feel' the 'chemistry' in a manga, but I do in this case.

The last chapter was the weakest, because it was kind of repetitive. Again Sunako and the boys go to a Hunted Castle, and again Sunako is being chased by a supernatural person; in this case, a vampire. I much rather prefer the chapters that have no paranormal stuff.

BTW I loved to see Sunako in her bathing suit, she is gorgeous.

Note aside: Yesterday I started watching the dorama, which I was trying to avoid for a while. Mainly because of my 'bad experience' with the Love.Com Live Action. I have this assumption that all Live Action comedies at least, look ridiculous. Luckily, I liked the first episode. And the addition of the little boy to the gang was a nice touch. So I'll gladly keep watching the dorama (10 episodes only, I think).

I've really gotten tired of Sunako and Kyohei's near-misses at romance. It's gotten really old. This series is just being dragged out. I keep reading it only because I want something more to happen between Sunako and Kyohei. He finally kissed her in this book, but only to prove someone wrong, and then everything went back to being normal. I'll slog through these books to the bitter end, but I'm annoyed!!

I was a bit disappointed with this volume because only two episodes out of four were really interesting. This starting with the beach episode...... It was really weird to drag Sunako like that but we'll they always do it and Takenaga was really rude .... I dislike him even more, oh and the episode with Noi was not that funny it was quite ridiculous. Well I do think Noi and Takenaga are a ridiculous couple....

The three volume omnibus has some interesting things happening. There is Sunako at the beach; Sunako at a Hallowe'en party with a real vampire; Sunako at an engagement party for the daughter of one of her aunt's rival. Filled with the twists and zany situations that you have come to expect from this series. Fun read.

I have been reading this series for years and it still makes me laugh out loud. I admit I want Kyohei and Sunako to resolve their relationship issues, but I'm not in a hurry, they are just such a bizarre couple!

[Kaylynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I keep thinking, I'm ready for this series to be over, but then I read the next volume and enjoy it so much. The author is keeping the story fun and makes it very understandable that the main characters haven't gotten together yet even as I really want them to.

Got this book for Christmas and had to read it as soon as I got it home. Sunako is developing a knowledge of how humans think and feel as well as her own feelings while still keeping her goofy aloofness.

Continuing to read this goofy, goofy series in order to discuss with the Manga Club kids...not for a middle school LMC.

Jam-packed with goodness!
