If people are looking for a Shoujo manga that really changes the general ‘rules’ of recent Shoujo, they should try Kaze Hikaru. It’s different, it has some action, but not so much that it’s a Shounen. The characters all compliment the series perferctly and it’s really what anyone who’s a bit bored of typical Shoujo needs. I would recommend it to anyone.

Still, I’m planning to watch the anime, if that makes me seem any better.

Hm, Skip Beat! is better than other shoujo manga (I liked the revenge idea), but the illustration is not my cup of tea and the main love interest bored me. I’ll admit I dropped it early in the series, though. I have little paitence.

Actually, Sleep is for the Weak adores Skip Beat. It’s a shoujo about revenge that uses shounen training montages for…acting. It’s deliciously insane.

But yeah, shoujo of the last 10 years has fallen pretty flat. I miss 90s shoujo.

It’s too bad that there aren’t many shoujo mangas out there that are as good as High School Debut. I tried out Kawahara’s other works, but none are that interesting, in my opinion. It’s really disappointing. I get so tired of manga like Fruits Basket and Skip Beat! and Blue Daisy…Koukou Debut was a bit over the top, yes, but in a good way.

I feel, sometimes, that it’s more of a curse than a blessing that I am picky when it comes to entertainment. On one hand, it feeds my ego to scoff at all the idiots who go all “kyaaa” over crappy value… But on the other hand, I’m rarely satisfied. I can’t find anything good to read!

I loved this manga series. I mean, there are so many mangas that I’ve tried to finish but never have but High School Debut was way too addicting. I instantly fell inlove with it. It isn’t explicit or perverted, the heroine is actually someone you can look up to and the subplots were hilarious. Haruna and Yoh make such a good couple considering their naive-ness when it comes to love.

The manga is sweet and shows a realistic and cute romance. This will remain as one of my favorite manga of all time. *sigh* I really miss it T_T I wish they made an anime!

That was a really good review! Equally good like High school debut. There’s practically nothing like it! I found it very addicting and was surprised the shy innocence of it. I had been expecting a short story that would have a basic, imperfect guy and quiet cutsie girl, (probably a manga I would drop off my reading list….)but boy was I wrong! I instantly fell in love with it! I loved how Haruna wasn’t that afraid to show her tough side Yoh!!! The only mangas I’d have to say kind of reminded me of this was Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and definitely Otokomae beads club…(check them out!!!)

I heard there will be a sequel one-shot; eternal love debut. It will be short but atleast it will be a sweet continuation of high school debut! Can’t wait! It will probably be scanlated during late Febuary or early March. I’m so excited!!!!

Kyaa!!
