Author: Shion Hanyu
Genre: Manga
Rating: *****
Review: In When Falcone’s World Stops Turning we are introduced to Rafaele Falcone who has two half-brothers all from his mother’s three marriages and he is very wary of women and doesn’t allow himself to get close to them. So when he meets Samantha, a flame from the past, he is confused about his feelings towards her. However, what he doesn’t know is Samantha feel pregnant before he dumped her, and she never got the chance to tell him about the child. Four years later circumstance brings them back together, but Samantha is worried about how he will react if he finds out the child is his.
Samantha is worried when Rafaele threatens to take Milo from her and he needs an heir for his company but not even Rafaele is that heartless and he finds a way around this issue. The first thing he does is buys Samantha’s company and moves into her house so that he can be close to his son, but there is definitely more to this. However, Samantha is having all her old feelings about Rafaele being dragged to the surface and he seems to love exploiting them, but I felt this is because he feels the same way and just can’t voice his emotions because of his mother and the relationships she had and the way she treated people he loved and love in general.
As we cross into the second half of the story, Samantha and Rafaele are now living together with Milo and Sam’s housekeeper. Soon after it is clear to see that the couple still love each other but they have serious communication issues but Milo acts as a barrier between the pair. The scene where Milo calls Rafaele his dad was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes and this didn’t get any better when Milo, Sam, and Rafaele go to Milan to visit Milo’s grandfather and Rafaele finally learns to process and deal with his emotions in a healthy way. A way completely different from what his mother taught him.
The ending of When Falcone’s World Stops Turning was beautiful, and wonderful. However, throughout the story, we get to know one of the other brothers well and this ending leaves an opening for his journey and I can’t wait to read more from Shion Hanyu soon.
