For anime lovers, I apologize once again! But don't worry, we have a TON of anime reviews coming up, on behalf of all the authors.
However, before that, I have yet ANOTHER manga to introduce to you guys, yes, one of the more well known, "GE - Good Ending!!"
There is always, or ought to be, a good ending at the end of every story being told, which the same applies to romance, and that is where our title is derived, from the good endings we often see in visual novels.
Mangaka: Sasuga KeiOmg, where do I begin... the romance, the atmospheres, the scenes, the plot. There is just an infinite amount of storyline and themes going on, which makes this manga exciting for a romance genre.
But first, I will of course, introduce the basic storyline and characters!
It all begins with the one guy in the manga, Utsumi Seiji, the protagonist. A
The story sparks off when Kurokawa Yuki, a member of the tennis team, discovers that Seiji has a crush on the team's captain, Shou Iketani, whom is also Seiji's senpai (senior). Desperate beyond his wits to have a relationship with her, he constantly consults Yuki for advice to become a better man and win her over, and slowly but surely, he becomes good friends with her, but are they really just friends?
Friends give good consultive advice, support and heal injuries, but in the end, though love and good intentions may lead Seiji in the right direction, he has to make that final decision. Who will he choose?
And that's where our 2 heroines come in. Let me introduce them!
Kurokawa YukiThe supposed main heroine dominating the first half of the manga, this feisty but friendly girl, gets to know Seiji during an "accidental" encounter. They become rough friends, and soon, a wide array of friends converge together.
Seiji, who's constant kindess and gifts of affection gets the better of him when Yuki somehow falls in love with him (FORGOT LOL). They get the support of their friends. However, something isn't right. Yuki has a dark secret, but what is it? And what will happen??
Shou IketaniThe cute and innocent senpai, Shou is the captain of the tennis team, who is often clumsy and careless. Receiving emotional help from Seiji when her ex-boyfriend dumped her in the first part of the manga, she only just realizes that Seiji has lingering feelings for her, and they manage become an item!
I just gave you guys a huge spoiler.
"GE - Good Ending" has your usual high-school romance feel to it, which is quite obvious from the setting and atmospheres. The plot development is well-done and deserves praise. The writer managed to keep things at a regular level (Very similar to Amagami). However, the plot progresses very sloooooowly. Which is a good thing.And of course, the annoying muddled & coincidental misunderstandings of a romance manga are all present. Annoying things...
The theme of romance is very well described here, because you have a guy, who has no experience with it whatsoever, and someone with experience is giving him the knowledge he needs. Of course, besides those, the manga also portrays love, hatred, regret, friendship and sadness all to an amazing extent. Really nice job done there.
As for art, it deserves a decent score. It isn't bad, but isn't perfect either. Still it isn't as bad as Kimi No Iru Machi which shows nudity. So I'm not gonna leave too much spoilers.
Aha! Enjoy your Romance-filled manga!
