Manga Review: The Lion & The Bride by Mika Sakurano

So from today onward I'm officially starting to post graphic novel review in this blog.

So let's start.

The first manga is The Lion and The Bride Vol. 1 by Mika Sakurano.

.....................................................................................

Yua is a high school girl in a secret relationship with her teacher. But one day her grandmother, her last surviving family member, passes away and leaves her all alone in the world. And then, her beloved Sensei, supporting her again as he always has, asks her to marry him. She’s convinced that she’s about to begin a happy newlywed life, but it turns out Sensei has a huge secret...?! At school and at home, she’s gotten tangled up in some complicated after-school marriage blues!!!

• First of all this is a very well written manga. And I just found out it already has published up to Vol. 10. 
• The plot is sort of weird. I mean Yua is a very young girl and why would she want to marry so early. Guaranteed that she doesn't have any relative so she might want to have a family of her own. But come to think of it it's a pretty common theme in mangas. So ya I'm not surprised but I'm not happy either.
• Anyway it has great graphics.
• Plot is controversial but well explored.
• There is always a presence of an emo kid in mangas. This manga is no exception to that. There is this emo kid called  Subaru. 
• The touch of humour is refreshing.
• A good attempt of slice of life manga.

Well as I said before the plot is weird but other than that it's not bad. I rate it 3 stars.
