Since no one has written a review for what has been one of my most enjoyable reads in recent years, I thought I'd give a stab at it.
To cover some surface points quickly, Ozaki Akira's art is visually pleasing and perfectly suited to the plot. Haru x Kiyo is a genuinely hilarious series, and Ozaki's art and paneling skillfully deliver the jokes.
And now to the main reason I wrote this:
The reason Haru x Kiyo holds a special place in my heart is because it has a solid center.
While I could nitpick and point out a couple of characters (the older brother and the chibi

A shitty manga disguised as a gem. FL is strong for a big part of the story. ML is developing splendidly for the whole manga. It seems like everything is perfect at first BUT- and a big but- FL turns into a shoujo-princess in chapter 35 and ruined the manga.

Most of the male characters are awful and annoying but that isn't even part of the reason the ... Aug 5, 2018
This is a laugh-out-loud kind of shoujo manga. It took me several chapters to adjust to the art style; how could you write a successful shoujo manga with two such unfashionable leads? The girl is an endless fount of ghastly expressions and the diminutive stature of her male counterpart is visually disconcerting. Furthermore, I would say that the first 10 chapters have irregular pacing and confusing character development. Given all this criticism, why would I rate this series as an 8 so far?

*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILER*
This is my first manga review ans it's a romance one... -I'm still new to writing reviews -Story- We have our typical story, Main boy and Main girl gets rejected by their respective crush. And the Main boy helped the girl out, after a couple of chapters they start to get to know each other more and more. The author added a lot of characters to make the story, but it ended by making it slowly gets less interesting. Plus the mc is short as hell and the girl is a titan. -Art- Not the worst I've seen, it was decent but I feel like some of ... |
