Customer Reviews

This makes me so nostalgic

Karen kano was one of my favorite shojo manga in highschool, reading it again reminded me of how calming a good slice of life manga can be,, I really recommend this series

must have...only if you like this genre

i really like it the writer has such an open mind...im on volume 17 rite now and the last few books so far made me cry =< its just a really good story!!!...this isnt for everyone though...if you like fantasy with magical creatures then this is not something you would like...if you like action stories with guns, car chases and brutal fighting this is not something you would like...this is pure romance and drama

She was perfect...

She was the number one student in her class. She was the best at everything and always willing to help. She was pretty and smart. And a total fake. She did it for the grades and for the praise.Then he came. He was just as smart, handsome and well liked. And he seemed to do it without a problem, as if he wasn't even trying.Here are the first three chapters of the manga kare kano, also known as his and her circumstances. Serious, funny, painful and so real it really seems to touch our memories of what school was REALLY like.This volume also holds a stand-alone story, kind of the manga's extra you might say, called The Tiger and The Chameleon. It is a VERY touching story all by itself. It has been pointed out that the events in the anime ends at volume 8, but the manga goes on, so I plan to collect as many of the manga volumes as I can to see what's going to happen beyond the anime's ending. Masami Tsuda is a great artist and really seems to understand the human heart.

Totally Unexpected

The reason I bought this book was to see if I could find a new series that my friends and I could enjoy (you see, we trade mangas with each other). I wasn't expecting too much from this, since I wasn't too sure if I should buy it or not but I'm really impressed! This series is wonderful and the artwork is as well. I'm very pleased to start my collection of mangas with this.

Interesting story line

This is one of my favorite Mangas... It is a good story that is easy to get into. It really talks about how people sometimes people act differently just to fit in and that you always have to be true to yourself...and that your unique qualities are what draw people to you and show what you offer to the world.Yuniko and Soichiro appear to be very different in the beginning but later they realize that they have a lot of things in common...this story also illustrates the difficulty of taking risks and showing who we really are inside...Good manga! get it!
