Ao Haru Ride



Summary 

Futaba Yoshioka was an extremely cute girl that every guy liked in middle school. However she discovered that other girls disliked her because of this calling her fake and pretending to act cute. In high school Futaba changes her attitude by acting boyish keeping the guys away from her. Everything was going well until she sees a guy that resembles her middle school crush, Kou Mabuchi. Unlike the kind, gentle boy she fell in love with in middle school she Kou now has a different name and is extremely rude to her. However she cannot stay away and the two grow closer with their other classmates.

I usually don't read shoujo manga but this was sooooooooo adorable. I think I cried at multiple parts and awwwwwed too much at the adorableness. The manga has also been adapted to an anime but I read the manga which had more romantic scenes.

Making a shoujo manga enjoyable means creating characters that the reader can fall in love with. Futaba is extremely caring and dense at times and paired up with Kou's cold honest tone makes them such an adorable couple. The manga goes through many cliches such as, another girl trying to steal the guy away, trying to fall in love with someone else, etc. but seeing two characters you enjoy watching going through their struggles makes it more interesting.

You can tell Kou warming up to Futaba and regaining his lost feelings as she heals him, always being there to comfort him.


The art style is amazing too, it creates a great atmosphere and the design for them main characters are simple but outstanding. I don't want to spoil too much so READ THE MANGA IT'S ADORABLE.

ALSO DAMN KOU DAMN
