So, i thought about doing something a little different with things i like, so i decided to try and write a review... i'll try regularly writing a review of a manga i've read or recently finished reading.
Last notes interestingly enough seems to have nothing to do with the title, at least as far as i can discern. If i were to accurately describe it, it would be quoting the author "An aromatic love story." quite a pretty way to put it, if i do say so myself and maybe a bit unusual as well.
But i certainly liked the story as well as its pace. The story's theme would be 'incense sticks' which somehow bring our lead protagonist together with the one she likes. Our protagonist is a young (beautiful) girl who lives in the countryside. Upon receiving news of the death of her grandfather (the only family member whom she has), she leaves her home (in the village where she was isolated because the villagers believed her mother was a very promiscuous woman) and follows the instructions her grandfather gives her - to an incense stick shop.
Unsure of what she is to face, she gives a piece of bark to the two men who run the shop after explaining her situation to them and informing of her condition. Interestingly enough, the protagonist has no idea what her Grandfather does for a living or even of the state of affairs of her father or mother.
The two men in the store are kind enough to our protagonist and one of the two men has an excellent sense of smell, one so advanced that he can get sick from smelling something that he thinks smells bad. I feel sorry for him, honestly. This poor guy also loves to pick up stray kittens probably because he sees himself in them . . . his background story's pretty sad.
Over the course of events, the protagonist who was never loved before or 'loved' herself, finds herself in love for the first time and only understand what she feels when her friend puts it in perspective for her.
For a fourteen chapter story, i think its an interesting read for those who like shoujos (female protagonist takes the stage) and romance :)
