Customer Reviews

Out of my 50+ Manga Titles, Kare Kano really shines!

First let me tell everyone what this manga is and what it is not. Kare Kano is a romantic comedy that focuses more on the relationships and the characters then any other manga I have read so far. The characters are well done; easy to relate to and to like. In fact, having read through the whole series they feel like real people with flaws. Besides the romance in Kare Kano, the series is about growing and finding yourself. After the two main characters meet each others, they struggle to overcome their pasts and "shed their masks" to become the person they are afraid to show others in fear of being rejected. As for what this manga is not: the manga is not about action, giant robots, blood + gore (though there is a little in a tiny scene), harem, ecchi, or fan service. I personally believe it takes a level of maturity in order to relate to the problems the characters are facing; however, for a 3 in 1 manga for about twelve bucks: I highly recommend anyone remotely interested in romantic comedies to pick this one up.

The drama we could never hope for.

Kare Kano is a Japanese high school drama that my girlfriend got me into. As a guy I am embarrassed to say that I like it. I am, however, hooked and I will own the whole series before the year is out.

A must buy for Kare Kano beginners

This cheap and money saving collection of volumes 1 through three was a great collection to get me to start reading the Manga. The whole series so far has been an amazing ride. This was heart-racing and was full of suspense for the relationship of Arima and Yukino (could be mispelled or not even her name). I've also enjoyed reading Tsudo diary, a small diary that the manga artist put after every volume. It's quite funny. Shojo fans will be thrilled, beginning Shojo fans will be shocked, and boys will fall in love with the genre with the popular series. I recommend this collection for those who want to start the series. Why wait with suspense for volumes two when you can just read them right away? The bad thing is.. it's not the whole series. I better go and get myself volume four before it's sold out!
