This is how a manga should be made, it's the way how it should be done. I just read it with no coherent reason, but bland curiosity. Boy and girl gets HEA.Īnd then I've read this gem. Boy kisses girl (or can go above and beyond). Girl just stares at boy wide-eyes, brimming with tears and mouth wide open.

To one point where boy pushes girl against the wall and declares his love. Boy would abuse her emotionally or physically (or both). Girl stares at boy when he's not looking. Girl prods boy (or pretends she hates him). Some are pretty good, others.not so much. I never mean to sound biased, but you would see this occur a lot. That always does not happen (unless your're reading a mature one). Will the climax always occur when the 2 lust-birds are in bed together? (hehe.the climax.)

It's very sad, to just have a story about a bland girl who lets a guy have his way with her.ģ. In mangas (shoujos in general), it's rare, very rare to find one that can control a situation on her own. So what is the difference between novels and mangas? In novels, you can easily track down an ass-kickin' protagonist, a bad-ass one, or simply, the kind that can function his/her brain. Superficial elements like these in a manga that can corrupt a potential plot. Of course education is involved, martial arts is involved, or looks, etc. It's no lie, if you are a big shoujo reader, you would always observe that the male(love-interest),is always better than the protagonist no matter what. Furthermore, I'll give you a list of the regular cultures in a manga that I admire little to none. You see this, don't you? Maybe it's just me. And my motto will always be 'judge a book by its cover'. It's just.the cover isn't that appealing. Here's the thing:I didn't want to read this manga after so many friends of mine recommended this to me. But, jeezum crow, this mega-slow treatment of their story killed me! Not everything has to be a series goddammit – just tell the story, stop treading water the whole time!

And they’re likeable characters too, Sawako and Kazehaya – I’m rooting for them, I hope they get together. I thought it’d be a cute romance, and the unusual horror angle seemed promising, but unfortunately Karuho Shiina’s first volume of From Me To You just kept putting me to sleep. Repeat for 200+ pages and then slap a completely unnecessary “To Be Continued…” on it! It’s amazing that for a book with so little going on that the story is stretched into a series! It’s like Japanese manga isn’t allowed to tell a done-in-one story – everything’s gotta be a serial, no matter what! And there is almost nothing happening. Then one day popular boy Kazehaya starts talking to her and her classmates see her in a different light. Sawako Kuronuma is a lonely schoolgirl, ostracised for looking like Sadako, the creepy girl from The Ring movies.
