Synopsis

In a rainy spring day, first year high schooler Midori Saezima saw a tall, handsome fellow student took care of a stray kitten. Without knowing the boy's name, she fell in love with him at the first sight. Due to sickness, Midori returned to school three days after summer vacation -- only to find out that she was "volunteered" as a candidate for student council. After a series of embarrassing accidents, both she and the mysterious boy she had a crush on, Akira Sudo, were elected as members of the student council. Being the first student council of this newly established high school, they are about to create "new traditions" for their school and a bittersweet love story for themselves...

Yet another masterpiece by Yazawa Ai! Even though it's one of her older works, it's still absolutely great. The art seemed to me a bit off at first, but once you get used to it, it doesn't bother you anymore. It's such a sweet and real story. Some people criticized the main character for "crying too much". I didn't mind that, personally, I guess it's a thing of personal taste. If you are a fellow artist, you will enjoy this story even more so. I could relate to it on such a level it was like reading about myself and my best friends. It's read more

I began reading this with skepticism. Was it another cheesy shoujo manga? In the middle of the first chapter, I knew I was going to finish it. If you're a shoujo manga veteran looking for something new, though this manga has the elements to detract you from proceeding, the great thing is that it's almost refreshing. I like the balance the manga achieved.

The middle part leaves a bittersweet taste in your mouth. It's funny and you feel a sense of community with the characters. The manga has 8 volumes, so you definitely feel like you're inside their world.

Give it a read, it will make read more

the plot its totally diffrent , but you get the same filling from the manga , and the art its similar, I think if you enjoy Tenshi nanka ja nai you'll definitely enjoy Gokinjo Monogatari
For some reason, while I was reading Tenshi Nanka, I was reminded of Kodomo no Omocha. They're both funny and really intense at times. But both are wonderful reads! ^^
