I finished the whole series in just a shorter amount of time than I had expected it to. Yes, this is that good, and I feel that I had to write a review when I am done reading it.

First off, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is absolutely one of the most beautiful mangas I have ever read! This is one of those mangas that is so heart warming and relateable. You can feel as though you can understand the thoughts and feelings of the characters. I liked how the story was not only focused on the love story between the two main leads. This series is so ... much more than a shoujo manga, it also deals with learning about life, valuing friendship, overcoming challenges and finding your own identity. This is how high school life and romance should be written, since it has utterly captured the beauty and the struggles of it. The character development was brilliant and every single one of them was my favourite. The art was also amazing and it kept on getting better with each volume. The final volume was really special, and I just loved how it ended so perfectly that I would not have preferred a better and more touching ending than this.

Like all the stories I have finished reading, I am quite sad that this series has to end. It was great, fun and unique in its own way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every page of it. I could have wished for more chapters since I want to see more of it. Oh, and the anime was awesome as well! :) I am definitely going to miss Mitty and Haru-chan!

So I've finally finished the last volume of Lovely Complex after watching the anime for like five times. I can't express how much I loved this series. I could actually read this over and over again and not get tired of it. This has got to be the most beautiful shoujo manga I've ever read. Love Com is a brilliant romantic comedy, with wonderful and well-developed characters. Aya Nakahara also did an excellent job on the artwork. It was amazing and remarkable, which makes Love Com a totally fun read!

I absolutely enjoyed reading Risa and Otani's story. They're just one of my favorite couples ever. ... They're so perfect for each other and I loved the way their relationship progressed throughout the story. In fact, they're so adorable that their obvious height difference doesn't matter at all. I simply loved how their story is realistic and relatable. You could certainly see the emotional ups and downs that they had before and after they started going out. I always find myself laughing at their witty dialogues and hilarious moments. I loved how their attitude towards each other didn't change even when they finally began dating. There are also those super sweet, cute and touching moments that made me say "Awwww" and smile like an idiot all the time! The Umibouzu theme is also superb in its own way, and I liked that it has played a huge role in bringing our lovable couple together.

And also, Love Com won't be as good as it is without Risa and Otani's group of friends: Nobu, Nakao, Chiharu and Suzuki. They're like the most awesome friends you could ever have and they're a great addition to the story. I liked the fact that they helped Risa and Otani understand their feelings for each other and become a couple, and how they were always there for them whenever they need them.

Overall, the series is an easy 10/10 for me. I really enjoyed this manga from the beginning to end. The characters have all grown on me, and I'm kinda sad that the manga is over. I wish there could have been more, since I don't think I'll ever be able to find another romantic comedy series as good as Love Com! I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a great and charming shoujo manga!
