Boyfriend is one of the few shoujo manga that had a typical shoujo school romance plot, but goes much deeper than most. The summary of the manga is interesting, but it does not do justice to the actual story. Souryo Fuyumi depicts each character's personality and problems wonderfully.

Much of the enjoyment of this manga stems from the intricate characters, like many of Souryo Fuyumi's other works.

The pacing is relatively slow, sometimes things are omitted and some things may be seen differently today as they were ... |
