Well, I had just finished reading the manga 'Strobe Edge', from the same author. Since I liked the story and the art, I went to search for more of this author's works...and that one just popped up. I thought 'Why not give it a try?' and I've been loving it so far...the story is really great and the art is still amazing...I love it, it's really beautiful.

Hm.... how I found this title? Well it was a complete accident^^. I just wanted to read a good romance.So I searched a bit on various websites and just found "Ao Haru Ride" and the second title of the same author, right away I liked the plot and characters. Now I'm looking forward to the next chapters:)

During reading Strobe Edge, I was a bit confused with the chapter count, so I took a look at bikkuri and coincidentally found this series. <3

Same, I was in love with Strobe Edge and once I finished reading the manga I felt a bit sad and empty so I went to check to see if Sakisaka Io had any other works being published and VOILA Ao Haru Ride <333

It was random. I was searching around some interesting titles when I found this series, read the summary, somehow interested, checked it out, and here I am. XD I thought the title is kind of unique, and so is the art, so I was tempted to try more.

I have read all of Sakisaka's manga including one shots and absolutely love her art work and sweet plots.. I knew that there was a new manga coming out before It actually came out so I was looking out for it ever since :D and maaan it was worth the wait! Strobe Edge was one of my favorite ever shoujo manga's and Ao Haru Ride has definately lived up to it so far!!! GIMME MOOORE!!!!

Checked out the new post of monthly or weekly manga sales in Japan and saw this manga has got quite a big position and it's unknown for me, so I took a look, then read first chapter...and fell in love. Now I read it together with Strobe egde and can't decide which one I love more. Every next episode takes me in more and more <3

Through Strobe Edge (: I'm so in love with that manga. As soon as I read it it went up to my top 5! I can't stop re-reading it over and over again.
And when I listened there was gonna be another work of Sakisaka Io I got excited and really happy to know what was going to be about~! Again, good work girl!
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is
to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

Well, I bumped into someone's MAL Profile, then this Club's banner is posted to her about me section and I was quite attracted. I was confused if it was a Shoujo Manga or something so I checked it out. After viewing the club, I looked down to the relations, then clicked it, I ran into it's Manga Info and voila, I came interested after all. Oh gahhhd, i'm inlove with this Manga.

Mine was kind of two ways. I had read Strobe Edge and I usually always click the author to see their other works, especially when I like the art which I did in Strobe Edge but I didn't. So then on a forum I saw someone had Futaba and Kou as their signature but to me I thought it was Ninako and Ren so I paid no mind until someone else had asked and they said it was Ao Haru Ride. So then I looked it up and found it was the same mangaka as Strobe Edge and read.

I was glad, because she is a mangaka who makes happy endings. Sometimes I just want happy endings and not Cat Street endings.

After I re-discovered strobe edge (read it a long time ago and was on-hold as it was incomplete then) and completed it, I went to the recommendations section. Then I realized that it's by the same mangaka so I decided to check it out. Turns out, I did and have read this manga before, but only until chapter 5 (I suppose at that time only those chapters were out). And to my surprise.....I actually remember this series (among many other series I've completed, read and put on -hold)- I read until that chapter where they put their heads on the table and then they turn to face each other!! XD XD Anyway yeah I remembered just how awesome it was, was delighted and went to read it again frm the beginning all the way to the latest chapter 16! I am just so so so glad that I have re-discovered this series, bcos if not, I'd be missing something truly awesome! I can't can't wait for the next chapter! I am so desperate for the next chapter....16 days, please pass by quickly!

Looking for new manga series to read. By that time I had a lot of time so I started to read all the summaries from some web and then I liked Ao Haru Ride -_- That's all.

I just noticed how highly rated the manga written by Sakisaka-sensei are [Strobe Edge, Aoharaido]. And judging from the comics covers themselves, I thought the art from the pages are great, too. I picked up Ao Haru Ride one day when I was on a manga reading spree [You see, I rarely read manga]. I enjoyed the first chapter and read it through till the latest.

Actually, since Kou and Ren from Strobe Edge are so familiar when I saw a manga cap of him and Futaba I though they were Ren and Mayuka, and I literally though "omg, when did this happened? are they falling in love with each other again?" but then I noticed it was a whole different manga. And, to be honest, I didn't really like Ninako from Strobe Edge that much so it took me a while to decide if I should read this one as well... but I'm so glad I did, I just love it! in my opinion it's better than Strobe Edge and I love every single character of it! It's definitely one of my favorites manga :]

I was browsing on Oricon Charts and I've seen this manga in the Top 05. I thought Kou was very bishie... So I kept the title in mind. A few days later, I saw at the bookstore "Strobe Edge", so I bought it. I thought it was very good. I took a look for some translations on MangaHere... And I feel in love, even more than Strobe Edge !

I was reading Strobe Edge and I came across the site of bikkuribikkuri. It has Ao Haru Ride in it. I love Strobe Edge and it looks like it was good too, so I give it a try. And I am glad I did. It was awesome and I was into reading it again! ♥

And at some point, I like it more than the Strobe Edge. (At some point xD)
