The One I Love

Each girl has a different story, so anyone who's ever been in a relationship or liked someone can find someone to relate to. It's very good for light reading, especially if you're familiar with CLAMP's more emotion-heavy material. Members also wrote personal experiences with love that relate to the stories which makes the experience more intimate because you are not just reading about 12 girls, but about the manga-ka themselves.

This was a very pleasant read, it's short and sweet, with stories from multiple mangaka's, on different topics and struggles a girl in love might have. The art style is clean and simple, very easy on the eyes, and the little author notes at the end of each chapter really personalize things a bit, it's a very nice touch. The chapters go like this; A girl in love might be insecure about something, like an age difference, marriage or long distances, but find that these differences aren't as bad as she might worry. Then at the end one of the writers will talk about whateverexperience they (or someone they knew,) had that inspired the story. It's sweet and simple, but the simplicity of the story isn't too much of a detriment, and it points certain things, like why some people might want to share interests with their crush, or how being called cute by their s/o means more then being called cute by others. So if anyone looking for sweet and simple romantic scenarios, from dating to marriage, and long distance relationships, this is recommended!
