Midori Days

If your a fan of romance comedies with a touch of drama you will love this one. This manga can leave you laughing in almost every chapter and near the end it can even make you cry. The artwork is fantastic, plot-line is great to. I loved this manga for its romance and because it wasn't serious the entire time nor was it way to comedic. But,you don't take my word for it, try it out yourself, you will surely agree(or at least love it).

The story starts off about Sawamura Seij, a high school delinquent, also known as "Mad Dog Sawamura" because he is undefeated and the most feared delinquent in the whole entire city. However, in all of his glory, he has a weakness, a desperate need for a girlfriend, and sadly he has a huge rejection streak for the pass 17 years. Until one day his "devil's fist" is replaced by a girl named Kasugano Midori, who has a crush on him for 3 years straight! With Midori on his hand his life immediately starts to change as now he is handicapped. Story: This is probably oneof the most unique romantic comedy you could find out there. A lot of romantic comedies usually has a girl madly in love with a guy and somehow they slowly start going out, etc. Most of them are pretty basic, but Midori no Hibi differs greatly from the group in the way it is portrayed. The plot itself is quite simple, but it is able to be delivered in a pretty funny, but not too complex way. The amount of fillers is probably similar to many other romantic comedies, but they do one way or another relate to the plot. Even though there are plenty of laughing moments, there are many moments too, that is just so sweet and touching as each character develops. Art: Well the artwork is pretty simple in my opinion. Simple BUT nice. The author is able to portray the feelings of the characters pretty well. The main characters or the ones close to the main characters looks pretty nice and decent. But I really do like the simplicity of the art, but it can become quite complex and amazing during those important scenes. Character: This series has a pretty decent amount of character development. The only downside I would say it that only the main character develops, but the supporting characters do make important contributions to Midori and Sawamura development. Though the Midori and Sawamura have a lot of carefree spirit most of the times there will be times where they do get serious or sweet. Enjoyment: I will for sure read this manga again. It was absolutely delightful in my opinion. I loved the carefree nature it had and the amount of funny moments. Also there was also a lot of sweet and cute times, but it also incorporated some sad moments. (That I actually shed a tear, hey don't judge!) I really enjoyed it, even though I felt like this manga was really similar to many other romantic comedy series, the really big difference is the way it is packaged. I have to admit the way it is packaged is completely unique, and Sawamura doesn't really get so many girls like many other romantic comedies so this does make the series quite unique. Overall I really loved it and I hope you will give this manga a chance and hopefully enjoy it!

STORY: It's about a boy who everyone labels as a delinquent. What nobody knows is the fact that all he really wants is a girlfriend. He wakes up one day and gets exactly what he wants, except for some reason she's attached to his arm ?! I have never heard of anything like this, so of course I had to give it a 9. It's a very unique story. I would say its much more of a comedy than anything, but i won't deny the fact that there's romance. It's just that there's something that will make you laugh in every chapter, so the comedy is always there. The romanceonly pops up once in awhile, but the times that it does is what makes this story complete. The love in this story develops a little slow, so if you don't mind a bit of a wait you will not be disappointed at all ;D It had closure, which is great because I think every story should have that at least. The reason why I only gave it a 9 was because it was too long. There were quite a few chapters that weren't really necessary. They were hilarious of course, but they were also what made me feel like this story is mainly a comedy. ART: For this type of story it was good. What stood out to me the most was Sawamura's "thug" face, and I believe the last girl version of Kouta ? lol CHARACTER: Out of everyone in Midori no Hibi, only four characters developed. Everyone else just stayed the same. I would have given it a lower score for this section, but the four characters that did develop changed a lot. I enjoyed Midori no Hibi, and it's actually one of my favorites now. Overall I think its something that everyone would enjoy reading. The chapter I liked the most was the last because I loved how it ended. I wont spoil it for you, so you gotta go read it yourself ! :D

I have a real soft spot for these kinds of manga. Ichigo 100%, Nozo x Kimi, Tonakashi, Love Hina etc. They somehow manage to combine the weirdest and funniest humor I've ever seen with the most heart wrenching scenes of any romance genre (I always tear up at the end) and all of them are straight 10s on my MAL and in my heart. This one's no different. Every chapter was amazing and even the filler never got boring. It's not that short either so it must be good if it kept me 100% invested till the end. The late 90s to late 00s were a specialera. In my opinion this was the last time mangaka were truly free to write whatever story they wanted and weren't constrained by trends or financial expectations. So could such gems come to be. I usually grade story, characters and art individually but I gotta go with a big fat 10/10 for all three here. Especially the first two. As always the plot holds firm from beginning to the end and every character is endearing and lovable. The art might be a tiny bit of a turnoff if you're used to the high detail of modern manga but you should get used to it pretty fast. In the end I don't think anyone could hate it. Very, very good. I couldn’t recommend it more if you're into the genre and even if you aren't. The story is just too good and the humor is supreme as well.
