The Way to Your Heart

This is a web-manga by Emily Muto. The synopsis below is property of Emily Muto:

This is a shoujo style, visual kei inspired story about a girl prodigy named Yumi who transfers to a new school and literally bumps into the lives of a rising J-rock band named Orochi. As the musicians and the genius are suddenly thrust into the same world, emotions run wild in a torrent of teenage angst and passion.


I have read it from the beginning to the updated piece that is up today. All in one day. I couldn't stop reading it, so that's pretty much all I did. I find this manga to be wonderful, especially when it has the music form of visual kei along with the shojo aspects. This is a combination that, to me, is rarely seen in manga and something that I find that I enjoy.


As for characters that are my favorites, I automatically fell in love with Toshio at first sight. There was just something about him that I loved and I found out it wasn't because he was just cool, but also a sweetheart. He is another one of my unofficial husbands...You'd understand if you read it...He's the main one I love at the moment, but they're all great characters and you love them all.


Plus, the fanboy, Eizo I believe his name is, is just hilarious...even though he is kind of a creeper at times...I love it!


Now, one character I have to speak of is Miyabi. At first I didn't like him because he was such a jerk that I just wanted to kill him, but as I read on I grew to understand him and like him. He seemed to mellow out throughout the manga and his temper didn't seem to flare in every panel like it seemed to do before. I have begun to understand him little by little...He still has his moments of jerkness, but the reasoning behind everything now makes sense. I'm curious to see what happens to him as time goes by...


For anybody that may be interested, here's the link to the manga: http://emi-art.com/twtyh/index.html and if you want to check out her other works here's her main site: http://emi-art.com/.

I highly recommend this manga to everyone.
