Final Thoughts
We have arrived at the final volume of Snow Angel. Here, Yuto is looking to turn himself in to atone for killing Muku’s father; however, Muku still doesn’t believe that he did it. As part of his atonement, he gives her a bank card that gives her access to his life savings. She uses a little bit of that money to take him, Inori, and Sakuto out. After they spend some time together, they return home, but Muku isn’t about to sit back and let things be. She gets some help, coming up with a way that could save Yuto before we go into a time skip.
Overall, this series was pretty short but rather satisfying. In just fifteen total chapters, it was able to pack in some great family drama and a quaint love story between four childhood friends. While Sakuto and Inori took a back seat to Muku and Yuto, they still got their fair share during the ending. Yuto was a pretty complex character who held a burden within him for ten years, and it wasn’t until he reunited with Muku that the burden resurfaced. From the beginning, I always thought there was something more to Yuto, but I was honestly surprised when they went in the direction that they did with his character.
Muku, on the other hand, I felt was handled quite well. Someone who was just trying to be a normal teen girl, but she couldn’t after getting wrapped up in her family’s drama. Her growth in standing up for herself and her sister, then getting her family to change, all encapsulated her strong will and a spirit that didn’t give up for what she believed in. Even though she had some weak moments, overall, she was a pretty strong main character who embodied a valuable life lesson.
For something that only lasted for fifteen volumes, I felt the story was quite complete. The only thing that felt rushed was Muku’s family’s atonement for the way they had treated her… especially the grandmother, who was seemingly set in her ways. Even though they did poke fun at that in the final volume, I didn’t think someone of her character would flip so quickly, but with the shorter length of the series, there was no other way to truly handle it.
Oftentimes, I wonder if a series would benefit from being longer, but for some reason, I don’t feel that way with Snow Angel. From the opening premise, to the characters’ backstories, to the relationship that developed between Muku and Yuto… it all felt right. Through all of it, the series even found a way to properly develop its characters. Yes, the Inori x Sakuto thing was rushed, but when you truly read between the lines, the signs that they would end up together were always there. Choosing to subtly develop them in the background to put the primary focus on the main characters was a risky move, but I think it paid off well.
When it was all said and done, I was satisfied with what I received; however, reflecting back on the series as a whole, it was a basic love story with some above-average drama, and a plot twist that is normally predictable in other series, but legit surprised me here. For that, it did a pretty good job, and with it only being four volumes, this will be a comfortable read for anyone who wants to read it non-stop from beginning to end.
So, for that, I’m going to give this a final core of…
