Oboreru Knife is a good story shoujo manga. which drama is focused in a really realistic way, there are not too much dreamy pinky situations, that make the story very interesting and you don't feel it empty.

About the graphics, they have a unique style. The eyes are big but the mangaka maintains the shape of a real eye, and it makes a mature impression. Also, the mangaka don't use too mane shadows on the characters and if she use it, the shadows are represented by consecutives lines, but most of the times you see the characters in white and black, with only lines standing out. At the beginning, I didn't like the mangaka's style, however, when I read this manga, I really thought this style match the story, so I can't say that I still don't like it.

As I said before, the story is kind of mature and the characters are kind of unique. The relationship between the main characters doesn't look like a simple atraction, and it becomes more complicated as time and some facts occurs. They are very convoluted, even though the girl acts like a normal girl (She feel excited and happy to be with him), she aims him like a adult woman and this kind of changes make you visualize the puberty age in the character, not a girl, not a woman, yet. The boy is very agressive and his feelings are wild. Maybe you are never going to comprenhend him, and he is someone who receives a lot of pressure and he looses this pressure with his crazy and wild doings.

As a conclusion, this manga is unique and the characters are well developed. If you want to read this kind of mature, but cute love story, you're tired of ilogical situations like you usually see in shoujo manga, this is a good manga to read.

This manga is super edgy. The storyline was unexpected and really digs deep into each character's sense of purpose after experiencing crisis, relationships, and growing up. The main characters have bold personalities (be prepared) and are hard to understand at times but as the series progresses, I couldn't help but want to try and understand why they thought or acted the way they did. It was pretty creepy at times too, especially with some side characters in particular. This is definitely not a wholesome shoujo (no doki doki moments for me). More like a drama-filled maybe josei genre with an agreeable ending.
