Sagashimono

As I don't typically read manga, this one somehow drew me to it. I was a little surprised to find it was a collection of one-shots. Seeing as I've never read a collection of one-shots before, this looked like fun. Reading into it, I was about to think it was another cheesy cliche story (the first one since that was the summary I read), but I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It was a little strange, but I really did enjoy it to an extent where I could actually feel what the characters were feeling. Sure, the story wasn't"new" - I gave it a 6 - however, I enjoyed it thoroughly enough. The art was superb, a perfect 10. Everything was well drawn enough so that I was getting envious I couldn't draw that well. The character's were all so natural I felt like they were just regular people, lonesome to a few parts. But, overall I'd say it deserves a 9.5. They all had some kind of enjoyable personality from shy soccer player to hyperactive believes in love at first sight. For enjoyment, I'm honestly quite the hopeless romantic, so I gave it a 9. It's definitely not for everyone, but anyone looking for a good little break can enjoy it thoroughly enough. Overall: 9
