W Juliet, Vol. 8

This volume has several really fun chapters and story lines in it. The first chapter focuses on the relationship between Ryuya and Ito and his reaction to both her staying out without calling to tell him were she was in the last volume as well as discovering she plans on being an actress. They have a huge fight but by the end of the chapter they reconcile and he tells her he will support her and her dream. During the next chapter Makoto's sister and Ito's brother Yuto meet while Yuto is helping Ito and Makoto rescue Akane from an Omiai meeting with her father's top apprentice. Then in the next chapter Ito and Makoto discover that Kohei is moving and that he was planning on just disappearing without telling anyone. Instead Ito plans on surprise farewell party for him. The last couple of chapters involved a mermaid curse were Ito and Misaki get stolen by a mermaid at the beach & Makoto and Yoshiro rescue them.

I'v been following this series from the begining and I have to say it is one of my Favorite.

I love this series, it's just so innocent. (even though by this point makoto is having a few impure thoughts about ito ;} ). The story isn't the most origional one out there, but I still wait for the delivery truck impatiently for it. The chemistry is well handled, and enjoyable. This was my first Shoujo series, so it holds a special place in my heart so to speak. I'm a total tomboy so I normally wouldn't have touched it with a ten foot pole, I bought it on a whim, desperate for ANYTHING to read, and discovered an addiction, I immediatly ran all over metro ATL to find the other four out at the time and ended up devouring them all in one sitting. My husband even liked it! (took like 6 months to talk him into it) My only complaint is ito's totally self destructive tendancy to worry about Mako's feelings! Hello! any more attraction and his hormones will start glowing. But I guess it wouldn't be half the fun if they had a happlily ever after in the first book.
