Kimi wa Girlfriend

Kimi wa Girlfriend is and still is my absolute favorite manga read, I've loved to read it and continue on with it's comedy/romance theme and so on. I constantly refer to it as my "inspiration" and manga read of all time. I enjoyed this manga C:

At first I didn't wanna read this. The cover art wasn't very good, so I thought the drawings would be worse inside the manga. But actually, the art was very well done. Anyways, I thought that Kimi wa Girlfriend was very humorous and cute. One thing I didn't like was how the problems were solved very easily. But overall, it was a great manga.

First of all, I apologize for the grammar and spelling mistakes I may make. English is not my mother tongue. There are lots of good examples in mangas of straightforward girls that find it difficult to build relationships with others: Maria Kawai, of Akuma to love song is the first example that comes to my mind. This is not the case in this manga: I didn´t like the female character at all. I don´t find her "credible". The story goes about a girl that has no friends because she is unable to communicate properly, and the way her life changes when she joins the "MaidensClub" and meets the president of the club: a boy called Kirie. I understand that someone may have difficulties conveying accurately what he or she feels. But being too straightforward or being rude is not the same as being "mean". Hasune doesn't say what she feels in a rude way. She says exactly "the opposite" to what she wants to say. Not only that: she is mean, just because. Some of the situations are believable, but other are just absurd. There is, for example, a scene in which Hasune bakes cookies for the girls in her class, with the hope of making new friends. Instead of saying: "Would you like some cookies?" or "Please, have some cookies", I understand a rude person may say something like "Here, take this", and force the other person to take the cookies: "I said you take them!". But why would she throw the cookies on the floor and say something like: "Bow down and eat. You deserve to eat it like that"? It makes no sense at all... Is she insane or something? Does she have a personality disorder? I think that having been raised among men isn´t enough justification for her behavior. The male character is much better. Not good enough to make up for the rest, though. I gave the manga a 4 because it has some funny moments, but a really didn´t like it.

I loooved the story! Although its not original... it had its own special flare that kept it interesting. Kirie and Hatsune are what really set this manga apart from other similar mangas. The relationship between the two main characters was very amusing! As a girl, I would personally love to have a friend like Kirie! The artwork was beautiful. I loved the character designs. All in all... it was a quick, fun, cute, and lighthearted read and is highly recommended!
