A lot of my friends recommended this manga to me. I recently finished this and I was so so satisfied! ♥ Will surely be reading more shoujo manga in the future.

The manga is by Yamamori Mika. It's about a country girl named Suzume Yosano (right) who moves from a remote town to the big city which is Tokyo. She suddenly gets lost and faints but fortunately she is rescued by a random guy around the neighborhood where her uncle resides. On her first week in her new school, to her surprise, she finds out that the random guy who rescued her is actually her homeroom teacher Shishio Satsuki (left). She then manages to befriend the cold Mamura Daiki (middle) who is her classmate and seatmate. Although he seems cold, Mamura is actually extremely shy around girls and he's quite bothered about the fact that he's friends with Suzume. Just as Mamura's feelings start to arise, Suzume develops feelings for her first love who is... her homeroom teacher?

This is the first long shoujo manga I've read (78 chapters). My first reaction to this manga is the art style is very pretty and amazing. Also the first pretty shoujo manga I've read. :3 All the characters look beautiful. I really like how Suzume dresses and does her hair, especially on this one! This is my favorite look of her!
I felt drama most of the time while reading this manga because it has a lot of ups and downs, but still I love the story development. At first, I didn't know who to choose; Shishio or Mamura? ;n; But the ending spoke what was deep in my heart. ♥ The fight between them was pretty intense. though. :v The drama is perfect on this one. Not a typical story which is what I like about it. I'm actually fine with student-teacher relationships in fiction 'cause I watched Onegai Teacher and read Ao Haru Ride but on this one? Please. I'm totally fine with it because this teacher is too hot to handle.
Although Shishio-sensei's hot, I'd still go for Mamura because MaZume is my OTP. I think he's absolutely perfect for Suzume. I've been rooting for them since Chapter 20-ish or 30-ish. I forgot. xD My love for Mamura grew even more at the second half of the manga. I mean, who doesn't like kuuderes? :3
I seriously love the manga. The plot is unique and exciting. (y)

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

I'll probably read Hibi Chouchou or Last Game next. :D

I finished this manga a few weeks ago but I decided that this was worth reviewing because this is probably the first shoujo manga I absolutely fangirled over. I'm not really a manga reader but I'm slowly getting into it and the shoujo genre is one of the best choices I picked (obviously 'cause I'm a girl).

The manga is by Sakisaka Io who's also the author of Ao Haru Ride (which I will be making a review on probably a few days after the manga is finished) and Hal. It follows the story of Ninako Kinoshita who's an inexperienced 15-year-old that's clueless about love. She then gets into a random encounter with the quiet but popular Ren Ichinose on the train. After a series of events that makes them draw closer to each other which mostly happens coincidentally, she falls in love with Ren but soon finds out that he's already in a long-term relationship with someone else. As the story progresses, she learns to cope up with this problematic first love of hers and her growing as a person.

I know the plot is so cliché (even I thought it was cliché at first) but you'll never know unless you try. This manga not only has cuteness and fluffiness, but drama as well. I feel really bad for Ren's friend though. Oops. :v I also literally felt the pain of Ninako, too. The story development is great. There are times when I get to fall in love with Ren, too because he's my type of guy. :v The random encounters between Ren and Ninako are too cute to handle. ;w; I always get amazed everytime I finish a chapter from this manga. Like seriously, sometimes you can't tell if it's expected or unexpected at a certain point. It just makes you curious! I can't believe some (kind of) typical shoujo manga could make me feel this way. The ending really gave me feels that were too hard to hold in resulting to me crying like a hopeless romantic. I highly recommend you read this cute manga.

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Also, a live-action film of this will be released on March 2015! I'M ABSOLUTELY SUPER EXCITED OMG HOLD ME
