| I haven't read either manga, but I'm pretty damn impressed by the first three episodes of Ao Haru Ride. I see that Sakisaka Io also created another shoujo manga called Strobe Edge, which seems to get some pretty good ratings on manga sites. I've never read either manga since I prefer to watch anime than read manga. I think I've only read 5 manga in my life and I could never stick with them long enough. They were Shingeki no Kyojin, which I'm about 10 chapters behind or so, Fairy Tail which I shelved, Bleach which I shelved, Gosick which I shelved because the chronology was a bit different from the anime and that threw me off) and D. Gray-Man which seems to go on hiatus more than anything in existence). Depending on how the anime goes and knowing there will probably be quite a hiatus between Season 1 and Season 2 of Ao Haru Ride if the anime does well, I might pick up the manga to keep up with the story (much like what I'm doing with Shingeki no Kyojin). Anyway, to get back on topic, do you think we might see a Strobe Edge adaptation since that is a manga that is completed? It's only 39 chapters so I would think they could probably get a few seasons out of it, at least. I can imagine there might be some demand for works like Ao Haru Ride, especially from the same mangaka. |
| I don't think Strobe Edge will get an anime adaptation. I could be wrong, but it seems like Ao Haru Ride is much more popular as a manga series. I don't think there will be a season 2 of AHR either... just a hunch and based on how rare it seems for shoujo romance series like this to get second seasons. Ao Haru Ride has a much better beginning portion anyways, in my opinion. I'm glad this one got an adaptation over Strobe Edge. |
| If you don't want to read the manga you can watch the live-action adaptation. Both Ao Haru Ride and Strobe Edge have their own live-action films. Blue Spring Ride (2014): IMDb AsianWiki MyDramaList Strobe Edge (2015): IMDb AsianWiki MyDramaList Strobe Edge may not get an anime adaptation but let's hope it will someday. Well, Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare (Jun 13, 2015 to May 13, 2019) got an anime movie adaptation Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare released on Sep 18, 2020. Oh, and Io Sakisaka is busy with her ongoing manga Sakura, Saku. |
