The Wallflower Volume 1 – Sunako Nakhara My Role Model?

I finished Volume 1 of The Wallflower by Tomoko Hayakawa and I really liked it. It has all the elements of a good story: beautiful boys, an ugly duckling (who’s actually not so ugly), comedy, horror, action, drama and more!  It’s all in The Wallflower manga.

After I had finished Volume 1 I started imagining what it would be like to come home everyday to 4 gorgeous guys. Awe, that would be so sweet! I’m trying to decide which one out of the four guys I would mostly likely date. I know I wouldn’t date Yukinojo Toyama because he’s way too cute and I see him more as a little brother. So that leaves Kyohei Takano, Takenaga Oda, and Ranmaru Morii. It’s only the first volume and I can see myself dating all three but since I am a one man woman I’ll have to narrow it down some more as I progress through the volumes.

I really like Sunako Nakhara, I can totally identify with her (to some extent) I’ve gotten really sad and depressed because I liked guy that ultimately didn’t like me (I’m not the type of girl to sleep around or be some guys bootie call – so it really didn’t have a chance). I didn’t go as far as she did and hide myself from light but I can sympathize with her situation. But, unlike Sunako, I didn’t have 4 handsome guys helping me to adjust to light and ultimately transform me into a lady. I know Sunako hates living with them (at the moment) but she’s really lucky. How many girls (by girls I mean those girls who don’t dress like sluts and put out 24/7 but girls who maybe are on the quiet side or who are attractive but don’t’ get as much attention because they aren’t movie-star drop dead gorgeous) get the opportunity to be in the presents of such attractive guys like Yuki, Kyohei, Takenaga, and Ranmaru? Not any girls that I know- So Sunako you better enjoy living with these guys (let me live vicariously through you, please).

Another thing that I like about Sunako is despite her outer appearance she’s actually an attractive girl on the inside (and out) and very strong/powerful – at first you think she just lacks confidence but she has confidence that comes out when it really counts. Like when Sunako takes on those meanie girls from the modified uniform army who tried to cut her hair but ended up cutting Kyohei’s beautiful face instead. I’m the same way. Sometimes when I go out I’m a nervous wreck and self conscience and then there are other times when I feel so powerful and confident that nothing can get in my way or destroy the amazing feeling. Or how about the time when Sunako comes to Kyohei’s rescue when he gets kidnapped by the horrible club owner. Man, she was undoubtedly a bad ass! I’m not so physically fit to punch, kick, and fight like she does but maybe with a little training in the art of kicking ass I could be just like Sunako.

Hmm, I just thought of something. I think Sunako is becoming one of my favorite female manga characters. She might actually become my role model (depending on how everything plays out – cool!)

So, what’s your take on The Wallflower Volume 1? What did you learn, enjoy, and are looking forward to read more of, and who would you date of the 4 creatures of light?

Love to hear from you,
