Kare wa Tomodachi*

Complete | yoshioka ririko | 2000 released

It was generic in terms of character tropes and plot mechanisms we've seen a thousand times before, but I still liked it. Maybe I enjoyed the art more than I expected? Or maybe it was the surprise of the age the author picked for them to do some of the things they did? It's like she had them acting more mature as middle schoolers than high schoolers. The pregnancy deal was also unexpected but...it's really only an OK story. The considerable misunderstandings and running around pissed me off as they do in every shoujo (seriously, who is telling these kids a perfect relationship just happens without work?) so I don't suppose I can be too angry about it.

Really generic and not very interesting. Leaving out the fact that he was suddenly in love with her out of nowhere, the fact that the bad guy gets caught and gives up in 3 pages after trying to kill her before is just plain ridiculous.

I'm not all that sure how I felt about this manga. Some of the stories were a bit...it seemed like most of the women just let themselves get carried away by the mood and tried to justify it later. Except for the story with Bean- I really liked that one because the heroine was strong, even without a guy with her.

I didn't dislike it- though I did hate the couple with the sensei who fell in love with the MC out of nowhere. And I'll never wish for that psychopath Erica to be happy

This is the sort of touching tragedy story that makes my heart hurt! It was really sweet TT^TT

The script used for narration/thoughts for the first story was too fancy and hard to read, so that was a bit annoying. To be honest, I didn't care for the first couple at all, either; I would much rather have read multiple chapters on the 2nd and 3rd couples.

I remember reading this one! It was super cute!

1/3 Romantica

Complete | shibano yuka | 2000 released

Even though the first and second stories were pretty cliche (if the male lead is a good guy, his competition always has to be a bad guy for some reason) the entire manga was a nice read. The last story was sad because of how her family treated her and how easily such a traumatic experience could be resolved. I really hate those sorts of parents who get off on comparing their kids.

Manga with little kids is the best!!!!!
