The first thing that drew me into reading Koko Ni Iru Yo! was the cover art. I thought, "Oh, what cute art!" And with it, I expected a lighthearted, cute storyline. As I started reading, I automatically fell in love with Sumino, the main character. Her situation as being the "lonely girl" who's trying her best to make friends was relateable, at the least. As I continued reading, I found that the storyline wasn't just cutesy-cutesy, but had a deeper feeling to it as well. As a huge shoujo manga fan, the typical aspects don't stand out to me, like crushing on the cutest guy in class and whatnot, but the character development of all the main characters- not just the main- is what really made me love this manga, to the point of finishing it all on the day I found it. Now I can't help but re-read, and skip a beat when I see that it's now availiable in English at the bookstores! I would (and have) recommend this manga to any and all school-life shoujo fans looking for a lovely read!
