Is a high school romance centering around the story of a teenage girl named Suzume Yosano that moves to Tokyo from a small town to reside with her uncle after her father’s job transfer. Upon her arrival to the city she meets a mysterious young gentleman that helps her reach her uncle’s place. Though she learns that this man is an acquaintance of her uncle’s she remains skeptical of this happy go lucky guy and tries to avoid him after their first encounter… but it looks like this will be harder done than said considering he’s her homeroom teacher at her new school.
Having read the entire series-all 12 volumes (which is roughly 80 chapters)-in the span of three days, there’s clearly an addictive quality to Daytime Shooting Star. And the sole reason why I think it was so compelling to read was because (dare I say it) the love triangle.
My Thoughts On 'hirunaka No Ryuusei'
Done well. My biggest annoyances with the bad ones have been when A) the triangle itself was completely unnecessary and could have been avoided but was there to add unwanted drama B) it became blatantly apparent who the protagonist would choose at the end early on and/or C) the author decided to take a cop-out and villainized one party so that the lead female would alternatively get together with the seemingly “nice guy.”
. Instead, it excelled at the push and pull aspect of these sort of romances but in balanced moderation to minimize readers’ frustration. It was also pretty obscure throughout the entire series who the heroine would eventually pick. In fact, the mystery of the outcome was this manga’s greatest charm, in my opinion.
And, most importantly, both guys were perfectly decent and rootable characters. I could totally understand and sympathize with the protagonist’s indecision and swayed feelings.

But, actually, the primary reason why this love triangle could be justified in my mind was that it felt, surprisingly, requisite. Believe it or not, Daytime Shooting Star probably wouldn’t be the same without the polygon. Both Shishio (the teacher) and Mamura (the classmate/friend) and their relationships with Suzume are essential for sparking the beginnings of her character growth and keeping the story move along. And I don’t mean the former in an anti-feminist way by any means. Suzume’s character development is very much contributed by her uncle’s and (girl) friends’ presences as well, but what she gains from the time she spends with these two men are important with her transition into womanhood. (Man, that sounds cringey. But, I promise, that it’s really not.) And once reaching that maturity, she begins to want to learn more about herself.
In addition, the two separate romances that make up this triangle were just so right up my alley. I adore the best friends into something more romances and the student-teacher relationships have always intrigued me. I find the preceding to be the most realistic of all the romance tropes in fiction, which is possibly why I was game with joining team Mamura from chapter 0. (GO, GO MAMURA!) But I also wanted to give Shishio and Suzume a fair chance because of my curiosity towards such taboo relationships. (I’ve read a good many aside from this one.) And so, because
essentially featured the kinds of romance that interest me it was perhaps even easier for me to disregard the triangle than most others.

But, with that all having been said, I don’t think readers that despise love triangles ought to give this a chance. Owing to the fact that the romance
Now onto the subject of the cast. For me, the cliché romance didn’t hurt the rating of this series but rather the underdeveloped characters.
They say that age is just a number and love does not have constraints, but the timing of meeting that fated someone will always be an important factor.

With Shishio and Suzume scenes, readers can truly get a sense of the struggles and pressures a teacher would have to face when dating someone underage. I’ve noticed that many fans of Mamura have the misconception that Shishio is a terrible guy for not facing his feelings and lying to Suzume, ultimately breaking her heart. But I think they fail to realize what the poor man has at stake. Such as his career and the responsibility of taking care of Suzume’s reputation if the relationship is discovered or ends badly. The guy is a coward, sure, but his hesitation to follow through a relationship with a minor is lucid and only confirms that he’s mature. He has enough hindsight to recognize that Suzume is going to only experience worse heartbreak if she stays with him because he can’t promise her a normal relationship and protect her. (Mainly since he wouldn’t be able to acknowledge their relationship in the public.) And he knows that she’s young enough to move on and find someone more suited for her than him.
But, as I said earlier, just because he was a teacher and older didn’t make his actions correct either. He was a weak-willed individual and lacked courage when it came to confronting matters of love. In fact, he seemed almost child-like in that respect at times, which explained well why he was compatible with Suzume, who was 8 or 9 years younger than him.
It’s sad that he carried the burden by himself and he didn’t confided his insecurities to Suzume because a relationship is between two people. It felt wrong for him to decide on everything on his own. I’m not sure if they would have stayed together if he told her the truth but I wish he could have given Suzume a chance for her to have a say all the same.

Regardless, I felt really bad for Shishio even though I was never on his team. I don’t understand how readers could hate him.
“Sensei is just like those shooting stars. They make me cry happy tears and make me want to be near them. They flicker and I get dizzy and my heart flutters.”
Also, let me take a second to praise how wonderfully innocent this student-teacher relationship was portrayed. What disturbed me the most with Unteachable and other student-teacher stories I’ve read in the past were the physical aspect of their relationships. Those explicit relations could possibly be accurate portrayals of reality for all I know. But I admit that I’m a prude. Thinking about a teacher having sex with a minor simply creeped me out terribly. (I’d feel comfortable if the heroine was at least 18 or in college. But the one in this is not so.) Maybe this was more tame because this is a Japanese manga targeted towards young girls, but either way, I’m not complaining.
Manga Review: Daytime Shooting Star
Daiki Mamura takes the award for the best second male lead (ever). I’m not surprised that I feel this way because I tend to fall victim of second lead syndrome rather often. Plus, it didn’t hurt that Mamura represented the bff to bf/gf romance of the triangle. He totally won me over and I couldn’t get enough of his personality and sincerity at pursuing Suzume.
Mamura is a natural tsundere, a Japanese term to describe someone that is at first cold but is actually a nice and caring person once one gets to know them.
The fact that he gets extremely shy around girls is just so cute. (However, I wasn’t going to buy the mangaka’s weak backstory behind why he became that way; it wasn’t well written or realistic however way I looked at it.)

Mamura and Suzume argued and joked around each other a lot. I really enjoyed their easy friendship and the silly antics that came along with it.
And I was especially fond of Mamura because, as he expressed and reassured Suzume many times, he was first and foremost Suzume’s friend before anything else. Because he saw Suzume in her most vulnerable states, he understood her inside out. He was a trustworthy confidant that was able to comfort her (physically and emotionally) when Shishio couldn’t. Like Shishio, most of his decisions related to Suzume were made out of selflessness as well. He cherished Suzume, valued his friendship with her, and sacrificed a lot for her happiness. He’s just one of the sweetest and most caring characters to have exist. :’)
Ending my tribute to Mamura on that, I also want to address that I believe antifans of Mamura make a lot of unfair judgements about him when it comes to not revealing Shishio’s true feelings to Suzume. (Re: Mamura finds out that the teacher still loved her.) I mean, didn’t Shishio conceal the truth intentionally to push her away? I’m sure Mamura probably thought that it wasn’t his place to tell. Regardless of his reasons keeping quiet, I still believe it was best he didn’t become involve with Suzume’s last relationship. (Shishio needed the opportunity to muster up the courage to confront Suzume himself.)

As for Suzume… she is such a pretty shoujo manga heroine. (Like, can a moment be taken to appreciate how
