This was nice introduction to a very short series. I don't really have a lot to say about it, mostly because it was average to me. The artwork is really good, the characters are cute, and Mako is a fun protagonist. However, and it pains me to say this, that's about it. The story isn't that interesting and aside from the often stellar artwork there's nothing else interesting about it. Nogiri also doesn't attempt to make exaggerated expressions or really anything outside of standard expressions, which is a little disappointing. I've already ordered volume 2 and considering this series is only 3 volumes long, I'm going to continue with it. I feel like this is a fun, short romance series to read if you want something quick to read. I do recommend it, just bare in mind it's a simple series.

I am a simple person, I see a guy with glasses on the cover who has a little bit of an attitude and I buy it immediately. And it paid off because this is such a cute story. Not very complicated but not too boring. I’m so excited to read the rest even if there is only two more volumes.

I enjoyed this book but I didn't love, Both the cover of book and art style. The writing was fine and the atmosphere was okay also the ending was fine. The paced of plot was bit slow and I think the characters needed to be flash out bit more.

A really cute start to a shoujo manga with an interesting story! I really like the photography aspect and the characters work really well together.

A fine start, “Love in Focus” Volume 1 is a cute beginning with some classic tropes.
Mako’s an aspiring photographer who moves into dormitrity with childhood friend Kei to pursue her dream. Once there she meets a bunch of new friends, including a mysterious boy with an aversion to photography. Mako’s new dream is, of course, to photograph him. Sweet and simple, “Love in Focus” didn’t surprise me but its lovely art and dedication to the basics really shines.

This is a super cute Manga. I was immediately invested and interested in the characters, and I can't wait to see how their relationships grow!
