Hi pornies!
It has been a long time since I reviewed a manga, and it because I couldn’t resonate with one. They were just the same old story with nothing new to offer. However, and as ironic as it sounds, I come to speak about one that gives us the sweet cliché of bad boy meets falls in love with nerdy boy.

Fynn has always been lazy: his favorite activities are skipping class, smoking, and lounging around. When his girlfriend breaks up with him, telling him to try doing something else for a change, he has no idea where to even start. One night, on a walk around the neighborhood, he comes across Niko stargazing on a hill. Niko wants nothing to do with this chain-smoking, loud-mouthed guy getting in the way of his astronomy— but Fynn is intrigued.
What's up with this nerdy boy who loves to watch the stars, and why is Fynn so captivated by him?
Star Collector, Vol. 1, by Sophie Schönhammer and Anna B., recovers the sweetness of love at first sight and makes you dream with all of its scenes. I actually found myself sighing and daydreaming about living the story of Flynn and Niko!
I thought I would just give is a glimpse, see what it was about, and all of a sudden I was finishing the first volume. What in the name was that? I’m an avid reader, I admit it, but time passed me by and I didn’t even notice! How many times can you say that about a manga?
I fell in love with the simplicity of the story, how straight-to-the-point it was and how direct were the characters as well. There are no fillers, no secondary plots, and although I like more development, Star Collector, Vol. 1 was exactly what I needed right now. Hey, we all need a sugar-coated love story now and then.
The art was pretty nice. Although I always complain about manga saying that they should be colored and not only B&W, this one actually looks fine the way it is. All the characters reflect what they are and are meant to be in the story in their design. They feel familiar as soon as you start reading, like those friends you meet by accident and make you say I’m gonna like this human.
Go grab a copy already if you want to live this sweet and cute story of a bad guy who falls for the nerd. They are made for each other, truly, and although I want to picture myself as Flynn, I h-a-t-e smoking, so that’s leaves me as the nerd, which I’m totally fine with after reading Star Collector, Vol. 1. Do the same and you won't regret reading it. Pinky promise.
Kinky regards, K!
