Think She's All That meets My Fair Lady meets emo hottie! Haha, okay it's kind of hard to visualise all that. The story is touching because you feel so dearly for our heroine Haruna and love that she isn't clumsy, can lift 70Kg!, doesn't expect her boyfriend to come protect her, knows how to deal with jealous classmates and doesn't cry at every obstacle. The male lead was a bit well, unlikeable in my opinion but I suppose that's because he isn't a dashing Sir Lancelot like we've become accustomed to. He's equally shy and awkward when it comes to dating (though highly knowledgeable about read more

This is such an enjoyable manga in every way possible. The story is lighthearted, but not superficial nor dumb; it is a typical shoujo manga that should satisfy any fan of the genre, yet there's still a freshness to it that won't make you feel like you've already read this a thousand times before.

The story's premise is fairly simple. Haruna is a tomboyish girl who spent most of her junior high school involved in sports, and now that she's in high school, she wants to get a boyfriend and learn how to act and dress like a girl. The problem is, she has no idea read more

I have read 8 volumes of this title so far,so i thought i was good to write a review about it :)

Story:This is a typical high school comedy-romance with some small dramatic elements.The story is about a tomboish girl,Haruna ,that entering High School is decided to find a boyfriend,and thats when she meets Yo,a superpopular guy,with an 'eye' about this stuff,and asks him to be her trainer.It really is cliche as story,but enjoyful.As the story goes,the relationship between Yo and Haruna develops more and more.

Art:The art is good enough for a shoujo manga,but i have seen better.
I didnt like how the artist designs them with read more

I really enjoyed this manga!
I was captivated from the first chapter~ Koukou Debut will fill you with tears from laughter and warm your hearts!
Haruna is a tomboy, and when told "don't fall in love with me", it's obvious she can't avoid the inevitable right?
Well, Yoh, her coach is a very appealing boy in this manga and gradually softens up due to Haruna's influence, optimistic and clueless personality ^^

RECOMMENDED =D

The shoujo romance genre has such an enormous amount of stories published by many authors, that its extremely difficult to find a diamond in the rough. More often than not, all of these stories have extremely similar female and male leads in extremely similar situations that many times, differentiating a story from one manga to another can be difficult. Koukou Debut (High school Debut) is a manga that attempts to do that, and does so wonderfully for the first half of its story. However, it then takes a dive in the second half of the story and utilizes typical shoujo plot devices read more

Story:
I found the story extremely mediocre and predictable. It wasn't bad enough for me to close the manga [since i have a "no-dropping-mangas " policy] but the chance of me re-reading it is equal to the chance of hell freezing.
Art:
I'm very flexible when it come to the way mangakas draw because it's their style but this manga had a very special way to draw. I found many mistakes in the manner like Yoh's eyes changing[bigger and smaller when no emotion is meant to be shown]. But the backgrounds were beautifully drawn. it was good all in all.
Characters:
Nagashima, Haruna's was fun :)
Yoh's was boring, read more

This is one of my favorite mangas! It is so cute, and sweet and it has the perfect touch of drama. The characters are so amazing and real-to-life. All, I can tell you is that if you like shoujo manga then you will LOVE this manga!!!!! I give it a 10/10.

First of all, what really captures me about a shoujo manga is that the main characters are good looking and the story.

Story 10: more like a 9.5 actually, because i wanted them to be more "hot & heavy" with each other and not so much comedy for crying out loud.

Art 8: Cause i have seen Dengeki Daisy and i'm taking dengeki daisy as the standard for how to draw shoujo.

Character 10: Love the male main character cause he is a bad-ass and when he is put in a bad situation he takes the logical steps to deal with it and even surprises you to a read more
