I thought Manabu was a girl based on the cover art 😅
I really really liked this one! The art was a bit rough but somehow it added to the charm! Manabu is such a likeable main character and it did a good job of making all his classmates sympathetic through delving into their backgrounds. Some series that do this end up feeling really trite but I think the world-building of Navigatoria was not only very nbteresting but made all the characters’ circumstances very believable.
I liked how Manabu managed to become good friends with a bunch of girls without there being any relationship drama. Madeleine’s thought process when he turned her down was pretty dark haha. You wouldn’t have expected that based on her character up to that point.
My favourite character waa probably Aiden. He did a good job of being friendly yet shady 😝 And his backstory was very sad.
Navi was ok. She felt more like a plot device than a character. Hina surprised me with how…extreme she ended up being? 🤣
I literally laughed out loud at the Earth reveal. Well played and well executed. I wonder if it was planned all along? It did feel very abrupt and it did lead to a very neat and tidy ending for almost everyone which makes me wonder if it got cancelled. But hey, Manabu deserves a happy ending.
Side note: the way Manabu saved all his father’s discarded pets at the very beginning really set up his character from the start amd really drove home how kind he is.
Looking forward to the author’s next work 😊
