The Secret Notes of Lady Kanoko

Okay so first off I have to say this manga was really interesting and unique. However it is also really confusing. I didn't understand that she was actually transferring schools multiple times until like the 5th time it happened; I didn't really see the point in doing so. The character relations dont really matter (besides the first chapter) and you could skip half a chapter and still get what was happening. Personally I got just started jumping pages till haru-kun showed up; something awesome always happened after that. : All in all though its worth checking out!

Warau Kanoko-sama is probably one of the few shoujo manga that I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. I have to say that I absolutely adored the main character, Naedoko Kanoko. Unlike a lot of the shoujo protagonists out there, she was completely refreshing and unique for a protagonist - not just for the shoujo genre, but any genre in general. She may be introverted, but by no means does that make her shy or meek. She's also very clever, independent, intelligent, and strong. Most importantly, she manages to stay true to herself, which I loved, because I've seen many protagonists change because ofa romance. I also really appreciated the story. Although the story is episodic in nature, I like how the story didn't focus on a typical shoujo romance, but instead the characters, which I think should happen more in shoujo manga. Even if a character was only present in a single chapter, I still felt that I got to know that character. Most of all though, I really liked the idea that the protagonist wasn't directly involved in situations, but rather, observing the situation. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're in it for the romance. But if you're up for a refreshing read, then you should definitely check this one out.
