Love at First Memory Vol 1 Mangaka Narumi Hasegaki

Manga Review

5 out of 5 stars!



"I knew I was right about you. You're the perfect target." - Issei


Truck-kun strikes again! Mia's about to make the biggest decision of her life and announce who her husband to be is, only that famous truck got her first. Waking from a coma, Mia finds that she has lost all her memories. Suffering from amnesia she has to try and retrace her steps to figure out who the man she fell for was.


Lucky for Mia the man of her dreams will be right by her side every step of the way. Problem is there are four of them?! One of them being a con artist who is very upfront about that and Mia being his mark. Is that really all she is to Issei? Mia will reestablish her past and unlock everything but, in the meantime, she may just fall in love with these men all over again.


". . .I'm the one who decides who I get to be from now on." - Mia


I wanted a cutesy manga to read, and I ran across this one. The cover and description had me, not to mention my favorite legend being a main part of the plot. I love how truck-kun has just evolved over the years. Honestly surprised no one has made a story dedicated to truck-kun and its antics!


Mia's such a sweet character and a bit too innocent. I enjoyed watching her misadventures and romantic panic moments! She puts pieces together and finds that some of her past life activates or habits she no longer wishes to hang onto. Proving she is smarter than people give her credit for at moments. Realizing just how lonely past Mia must have been. I loved watching how she did her own research and leg work putting her life back together. Not relying solely on the guys.


Issei had me laughing several times along with his antics. Tsunugi's going to have white hair by the time this whole ordeal is over with! I respected the fact that Issei didn't hide who he was or what his profession in life is. Being a con man and pushing Mia to not take things at face value. Asking hard questions about the other men and their words. Challenging Mia to look at things with a different perspective since she is very wealthy and has amnesia. Playfully reminding her at every turn not to trust him either.


This read is very light and fluffy, there are of course some serious undertones and situations. This is a work of fiction, and I believe there's more to Issei but if you do meet a con man in real life, turn and walk the other direction. I didn't really catch any language and there isn't any nudity other than bare shoulders and upper back. 


I love all the guys and the different circumstances of how or why they're in Mia's life. The first panels of meeting the guys were very funny, one of them climbing in through a window! Romance is building slowly since the guys have their memories intact, but Mia doesn't. All of them wanting to take things slow and ensure Mia's comfortable. There are some cliche tropes but personally I love them in this manga! I don't know how this will all end and who Mia will choose. I have my vote, but I'd also love it if she could be with all of them! 


We do have a cliffhanger, and I really want the next volume! Will be continuing this cute series and seeing what more chaos and drama will unfold amongst the guys!


Enjoy the manga and don't forget to give the author some stars!


Thank you, NetGalley and Kodansha!

Book Review 5 out of 5 stars! "It all started with a game." - Lethe Just a simple game amongst friends to kick off some early Halloween fun. Only the game wasn't what Lethe had signed up for and definitely not what the rest of them had hoped for. Deaths tend to place a damper on things and when they are of the people you know and who are closest to you. . . well, it gets a bit scary. What ghost have they unleashed on the sleepy town? Do ghosts even exist? It was just a silly cardboard game with a pointer, why's this happening? Happy Halloween. . . "I'll be her shadow." This was such an interesting read with all the chills and spookiness of a Halloween novella! Not to mention the mystery and suspense of what's going on and why's it happening? Are the deaths homicides or freak accidents? Lethe is caught on the very edge of being eighteen and trying to mature a bit. Figuring out she may no longer like certain people or want to be close to them anymo...

Book Review 4 out of 5 stars! "I'd never thought I'd crave phone-free time but that honestly sounds so good. I crave being off-grid.
