There are so many things I love about this manga. I am currently reading chapter 60 and all I can say is that it has been a beautiful ride.
As you can see in the synopsis this manga tell the story of the fateful encounter between a model with a scary face and a boy pretending to be a female model. But the truth is that there is so much more to this manga than what a short synopsis can tell you.
Honestly, I was starting to get tired of shoujo mangas. They were all the same: Love, love, love and more love. I wanted something deeper ... and I found it in Nousatsu Junkie.
It is incredible how well developed every character is, and how realistic the story gets.What I love the most about this manga is that every character has a goal to fight for and even when facing failure, because they fail many times, they are strong enough to keep moving forward. That is a real life lesson.
I also like the romance in this manga because of a very simple reason. Being in love is not an obstacle in the characters' life, but a force that pushes them to grow and to accomplish their goals in life.
If you are looking for a good shoujo manga with some depth to it, I would definitely recommend Nousatsu Junkie.

This is gonna be one short review. Actually, I just wanted to say what a good manga Ou-sama no shichiya is. I had never enjoyed a 4-chapter manga this much, I promise.

So the story goes like this, Amy is the type of girls who falls for bad guys leading her to being cheated, deceived and more. In an attempt to change, she starts to work for the owner of a pawnshop, Shuu.
I liked how the author made the comparison between recognizing fake products and fake/bad people. It is like Ami said "If I see the real one in the beginning, I won't get tricked by ... the fake one", meaning that she had never encountered a good guy before, but now that she had, there was no way she would be tricked again or let go of him.
Overall, this is a lovely refreshing manga. Not only the story is great, but also the art is very pleasant to the eye.

I wonder why there are no reviews for such a good manga as 3d Kanojo. I am actually not really good at writing reviews, but this manga deserves one, even if it is a short one.
The story starts by presenting tsutsui, a gloomy otaku who happens to hate 3d girls (real girls, if you are not familiar with the concept) and he himself is despised by the girls around him and classmates in general. But Tsutsui's life changes when he encounters Iroha, a beauty with a seemingly bad temper.
I am not totally sure about how original the plot is, but I have ... never read another manga with this kind of argument. So, it is pretty original for me, and that is the first thing I liked about this story. However, the thing I love the most about 3D Kanojo is the character development, the two main characters grow amazingly throughout the story, especially Tsutsui.
Tsutsui starts growing as an off-line person (as he said it himself) when he is approached by Iroha and eventually starts dating her. Which makes me think that it is truly amazing how one person can change another person's life. Due to his low self-esteem, Tsutsui doesn't trust Irohara's motives to go out with him. Furthermore, he can't believe that a girl like her would fall for a creep like him. And that is what makes this manga so good, the author managed to convey the character's feeling perfectly. The reader can feel that Tsutsui is scared of being loved. Moreover, he is terrified by the idea. However, when Tsutsui decides that he won't let go of that girl, and that he will do his best to show is feeling towards her is when the real story begins.
Iroha is also an amazing character, but I won't say much about her because she is a real mystery at the beginning of the manga. All you have to know is that despite her appearance and bad temper, she has a good heart.
Another point worth mentioning is that there is a lot of humor in this manga, especially when tsutsui starts comparing real life events to animes, mangas or video games. He even tries to understand girls through otome games; that is hilarious.

In short, 3D Kanojo is a refreshing story that teaches great lessons about friendship, love and more. It also deals with the topic of prejudice, which is a good thing for me. Furthermore, if you are kind of otaku you will definitely enjoy all the remarks tsutsui makes about anime and stuff.

I don't usually write reviews and when I do is mainly because of two reasons, either the manga is really good or really bad. This time.... I'd choose reason number two (really bad!!).
The story is quite simple: Arrogant cool guy needs to produce a drama based on a webtoon, but the author refuses to sign the contract. So the plot is not bad at all but once you start reading and get to the final chapter you realize that there is no character development or whatsoever. This is supposed to be a "love story" but there is no moment in which the reader could say ... "ohh they really like each other". I don't know, there is just something off about this manwha.
The only thing that prevented me from dropping it was the art, the characters and backgrounds are just beautiful. In short, this manga has a really poor storyline but good art.

I've got one word to describe this manga: Hilarious.
The story goes like this: Karin, a very spoiled and selfish rich girl is on the look for her prince. Not only she finds him, but she actually marries him (political marriage of course)
What made me love this manga was the female lead.She doesn't pretend to be a good kind-hearted girl. On the contrary, she selfishly states that whatever she wants she will have it, until she meets Nao (the male lead). Now, you may be wandering how can I love this type of girl, the thing is that though Karin is full of confidence, she ... is clueless when it comes to love and daily chores (taking the subway and things like that) which leads to uproarious situations. I mean it when I say that I laughed really hard with this story.
Another thing that I like about this manga is the art, the characters and backgrounda are enjoyable to see as expected from Minami Kanan (the author).
Finally if you want to split your sides laughing while reading a refreshing story about a girl pursuing her prince Charming, then this is your manga.

I'm about to finish reading this manga, so I thought I'd write a short review to let people know how overrated this manga is.
Basically this manga tells the story of a very clumsy girl who falls in love with a guy who already has a girlfriend. Instead of trying to steal the guy away or just repressing her feelings, she decides to treasure the love she feels for him. So, yeah a pretty average plot.
Regarding the characters, the male lead is someone you can relate to since he is someone who is constantly struggling to be honest with her girlfriend, while feeling attracted to Ninako ... (the female lead). What I really dislike about this manga is Ninako, she gets really annoying throughout the story, especially because she is the typical shojo girl with a really "kind" heart that compels her to cry for every little detail. I think that there is no chapter in which you can't see her shed some tears. What I mean is that if you like crybabies this is your manga.
This manga is far away from being a master piece. I don't even know why I bothered to read the whole thing. Well I do know, I kept on reading because of the supporting characters which have a really interesting back-story.

I had never read a manhwa until I came across PELLUA IYAGI. I was not really looking forward to reading it, but I gave it a try anyways and I'm honestly glad I did.

The plot is not really original. As you can see in the synopsis, this manga tells the story of a beautiful girl who is forced to marry a guy she doesn't know. Refusing the marriage is not an option, so she goes along with the arrangement.

What makes this manhwa different is the way the characters deal with the situation. I really love how the female lead faces the marriage with a lot ... of dignity and courage. She won't beg for her husband to love her, nor will she push him away.

Concerning the art, it is very different from what I'm used to but not necessary bad. I would even say that it is the art what makes this manhwa very unique. Somehow, the author manages to capture the feelings of despair and sorrow that result from a loveless marriage through the art.

Finally, I have to say that for me this manhwa is as beautiful as a poem.

PD: Sorry for the wording, but English is not my first language.
