Damsel in Distress: Many throughout the story, like the girl who has fallen down in the first chapter or the convenience store worker who is being aggressively hit on by an older customer. They are there for the writer to show off Yoi's natural princely qualities like her strong sense of justice. Me encantaría que alguna editorial de manga española le diera una oportunidad a esta serie, aunque todavía va por el tomo 2 en Japón.

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk, Volume 2". Kodansha USA. Archived from the original on April 8, 2022 . Retrieved April 8, 2022. In chapter 9, Yoi's mom wonders aloud if Yoi is dating Timothée Chalamet when Yoi tells her Ichimura's also called "Prince". This is the art style that I really love especially when it comes to shojo manga. I don't have to say much, this art style is everything I need to make me interested to read the story. It is so neat and clean, and all the characters look really good! If you are searching for shojo manga with pretty art style, this should be in your list! All Girls Want Bad Boys: Yoi is about as straight-laced as they come, due in part because of her natural shyness and chivalrous demeanor. Ichimura on the other hand is a ladykiller, with bleached hair, piercings galore, and a devil-may-care attitude. Yoi is at first not trying to have much to do with him, but his persistence in chasing her, as well as him (barring their first run-in) always treating her as a girl and not a Prince or a boy makes her soon fall for him. Instead of interpreting "Yoi" literally as "evening", you can interpret it as "Yoi", the first name of the heroine of the story, thus changing the meaning to be "The Beautiful Yoi's Moon" and referring more explicitly to Yoi and Ichimura's relationship. This reading is further encouraged because in chapter 3, Yoi compares Ichimura to "the moon reflecting off the water": elusive and hard to grasp, despite appearing so bright and clear. Ichimura as "the moon" is also supported by his first name being Kouhaku, which can be read and understood as "a pale yellowish white", like the glow of the moon.

Yoi is one of the school’s princes; deep voiced, handsome… and also a girl. She can’t seem to escape her looks, but a chance encounter with the school’s other prince, Ichimura, means that there just might be a chance of somebody finally seeing her the way she wants to be seen…

I FINALLY READ MIKA YAMAMORI SENSEI'S NEW WORK!! Ok, I've only read one volume, the first one, but I've finally started it. I'm so excited for this new story of hers. I've seen my friends love this and share all kinds of scenes on social media, I'm giddy about getting to those. I have a deep love for Daytime Shooting Star, so I cannot wait to continue reading this story.So I really like what this book is doing, but it feels like it’s taking its sweet time doing it. I might be wrong, but it felt a whole lot more introspective than we normally get in something like this, but without commensurate anything else to balance itself it kind of wobbles. Yoi isn’t exactly thrilled with her reputation and how she is perceived by both female and male classmates but she just sort of shrugs it off and accepts her fate. Until one day she literally bumps into someone who will make her see things differently, including herself. Dubbed the “other prince” at their school, Kohaku Ichimura runs into Yoi and believes he has come across the most beautiful boy he has ever seen. It isn’t until Kohaku is corrected by his peers that he realizes Yoi is indeed a girl. Gender-Inverted with Yoi who has a hard time talking to men. We later learn this is because since middle school, she's been somewhat unfavorably compared to her older and more traditionally feminine sister by the boys in her class. Overhearing a boy she had a crush on balk at the thought of dating her made her withdraw.

In The Clear Moonlit Dusk volume 1 is one of the strongest beginning volumes of a manga I’ve ever read. The story is quite engaging and I already love Yoi and Ichimura, as well as their dynamic. Since both characters have a “princely” reputation at their school, they already have a mutual understanding of what it’s like when peers judge them based upon apperance and socioeconomic status. I also love how Ichimiura is very honest about his attraction, perhaps even clumsily so, to Yoi (he tells her she is beautiful before even realizing she is female, in fact), but never acts pushy and is mindful about consent.Love Triangle: The classic example of two people in some sort of romantic relationship and a third who pines over one of the two. In this case it's Yoi and Ichimura with Ouji, the part-timer who works with Yoi. I'm only 4 chapters deep but wow, Yamamori Mika strikes again. I'm a big fan of her other works, Hirunaka no Ryuusei and Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, and so far Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki seems to measure up.

The Comically Serious: In addition to her chaste and princely behavior, Yoi is in general a serious, straight-forward, and somewhat dense person, leading her to react to even the lightest of ribbings and teasings with bewilderment and getting flustered. For example, she takes Ichimura's suggestion to test date as Serious Business, producing a Comically Wordy Contract at school to go over how the arrangement should be. Caught in the Rain: In chapter 3, just as Yoi is trying to explain to Ichimura that she doesn't actually find his light teasing annoying as much as she does embarassing and disorienting, it begins to immediately downpour. This leads to the two taking shelter at what Yoi comes to realize is Ichimura's large house where he lives alone. There she's finally able to admit her desire to actually talk more with guys and Ichimura takes the opportunity to hold her hand. Ouji bonds with Yoi over this in chapter 21. He goes to an all boys school and has played sports for most of his life so he has little experience talking to women and admittedly comes off much colder than intended because of his awkwardness. Caught the Heart on His Sleeve: After Ichimura tells Yoi he won't try to kiss her again because he knows she hates it, Yoi pauses and wonders if she actually did hate it, and unconsciously grabs on to Ichimura's shirt as he turns to leave. She tries to tell him that she didn't mind, but is interrupted before she can get it out. Ichimura is so emotionally stirred by it that he has to take a second to compose himself after Yoi leaves. Strong Family Resemblance: Yoi favors her father quite a bit, who also has short dark hair and handsome features.
