pinkstarred's manga / #Ensamble cast(3)

Say I love You

Complete | HAZUKI Kanae | 2008 released

Very sweet lovelyYamato falls for the honest shy Mei who gets bullied and is always alone. Through patience and perseverance he slowly earns her trust and love. It follows their relationship and friendships in school and there are cats. Also this isn't the typical 6 volumes to end at a kiss, in fact it starts with one. It deals with insecurity, bullying and even depression and goes into the friends lives as well. My first shoujo anime and what got me into manga. I had to find out what came next. Oh and there's sex, nothing too spicy but satisfying.

I'm so happy I rediscovered this lovely manga. I had only read the first volume and had no idea there was so much more. The art is charming and unique. It's an adorkable slice of life romcom of these two friends to lovers who grow and blossom together. They are out and have their own family of characters, a real ensamble cast. It's a feel good tale, with lots of character development and growth. Love it! It's so cute and fluffy. I like how they addressed Mikuns past when they are apart and continue to grow closer. It's a wonderful partnership, how lovers should be. It leaves me feeling lovely. I'm halfway through and can't wait to see how they continue to grow. It's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I love the art style it's warm an unique and the page layouts are well done. Easy to read and great to look at, not too wordy or crowded.
