There Is No Love Wishing Upon a Star.

A love triangle, There Is No Love Wishing Upon A Star is at its best when examining the 3 main characters and their interpersonal relationships. Whatever interaction happens between them adds to the exceptional sadness and internal agony that paints the tone of this series. Every action shakes the pop bottle of emotions until it eventually explodes at multiple points throughout the story. Eri is at the centre of it all, someone mostly oblivious to how her actions and unperceptiveness hurts the two closest to her. It feels like she’s dragging them into a car crash unintentionally, keeping you invested on how her behaviour will againchange the three’s dynamics together. The art is also very strong. There’s a very nice visual metaphor with a stuffed animal that does feel a bit too spoon-fed, but is indeed very poignant to what happens in the story. There is a general nice soft feel to the art for most of the run, but when the dramatic moments hit it becomes more sharper. The facial expressions in particular highlight this the best. At 5 volumes long, it’s easy to recommend this series for anyone looking for a shorter engaging drama.
