Haha already made an anime thread? Still awsome manga.. Compare to Kimi ni Todoke.

This follows the romance between the social outcast Mei Tachibana and the ridciously popular and handsome Yamoto Kuraswa. Bullied ever since she had been accused of killing the class pet in elementary, Mei has grown up for 16 years without friends. Scarred by the bullying, she determines never to have relationships with other people as they would only betray her in the end. Well this all changes when the supposedly "promiscuous" Yamato kisses her to save her from a stalker.

Again there is a hellstorm of shojo cliches. However, the mangaka manages to play off many very well and totally deconstructing a few. The art is very stable and very pleasant to look at. The relationships are all very down to earth and realistic...indeed I applaud on her depictions of bullying. Very enjoyable

I love this manga so much! I just replied to the anime thread actually c: Mei and Yamato are the cutest couple out there! I hate waiting for the translations :( dies anyone know if it's going to be licensed in America?

LOVE this manga.. reread it like.. 3 times even though its still ongoing :p lol

>>4 Aww I don't want to wait that long :( I guess I'll just have to stick with online translations until then!

I liked the manga more than the anime. And the opening song was sad to me... What do you guys think of the opening?

Waiting for the next one to come out! Episode and Manga

Not a fan...

REALLYYYY GOOOD MANGA!!! i fell in love with the manga and anime ^-^

"Oh, it's just another stereotypical manga."
>two chapters in
"Well, it's not /that/ bad..."
>4 chapters in
"Okay, it's kind of interesting. I love how they draw the eyes ._."
>6 chapters in
"ohmanohmanohman these characters are really fucking 'REAL' o-o"
>8 chapters in
"Stretch marks? Acne? Over-use of make-up? SHOUJO ISN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THESE TABOO SUBJECTS. But this is... amazing."

I'm already in love with this manga .-. It talks about, well, real shit, real issues. The bullying is realistic. The characters are realistic. The reactions are realistic. Everything is just... you know, normal. Interesting.

>>13 Nto all realistic but still qutie a refreshing shojo

>>14 Well, yeah. It's a little... optimistic, I guess? That's to be expected, though; shoujo has to be either continually melodramatic or overly happy. The endings/situations aren't that realistic, but the characters and concepts are.

Also,
Chapter eleven was fucking adorable.

Chapter 20.

I can't say that this wasn't predictable.

It okay but every thing is so predictaple.

don't forget the ending page where she kisses him for the first time

>>3>>4 The anime is available to watch on hulu. It is only subbed, but it's better than nothing. And watching it on there supports both funimation, so they can bring more titles over, and the mangaka. :)
