There’s no progression of his defenses wearing down and such, which would lead to him questioning his role as an edtior, and THAT would have made for good character development. The only visible effect during such shenanigans is him blushing, though that’s about it. One thing that eroded such scenes is Tomoya giving the same reaction over and over again, as if the barrage of indirect advances she made on him had no effect. There are plenty of mirror images between Kasumi’s works and her interactions with Tomoya). Coincidentally, Tomoya comments on her great ability to accurately express the genuine feelings of the characters in her novel (yeah, this manga does that a lot. Therefore, her throwing him flirt after tease after saucy gesture is her most genuine expression of her feelings for him. Along comes this guy at a fan-signing event who passionately talks about the thing she spent her blood, sweat, and tears on. Unbeknowst to Tomoya (because he’s an oblivous guy anyway), it is also revealed near the beginning that while Kasumi is a genius at writing romance novels, she is actually love-starved and longs for some sort of intimate interaction(because surprise surprise, she has zero relationship experience). Several other such scenes mixed in with various degrees of spice are sprinkled throughout the manga, just that some are spaced further apart than others. This is straight out of the gate at Chapter 2. Look at that.Īnd this scene is not even in Chapter 30 or 40, oh no. My favourite drawings are of Kasumi’s lush hair. Over time, they meet up to talk about her novel, and in the process, she develops an infatuation for him.Ī year later, Kasumi’s previous editor, Machida, has received a promotion and can no longer attend to her as before, and suggested that Tomoya be Kasumi’s part-time editor instead, to work on a sequel to her bestselling novel.Īnd that’s where this spinfoff story begins.
Kasumi also discovers that Aki goes to the same school he does.
#SAEKANO LIGHT NOVEL SUMMARY SERIES#
The series begins when big-time fan Aki Tomoya meets the idol behind his favourite book, Kasumi Utako(that’s her pen name, which I much prefer over“Long-Ass-Name Utaha”). That’s Koisuru Metronome, or Metronome in Love. Imagine the mainline series Saenai Heroine, except with the harem element removed completely, and all of the related chaos along with it.
