A review by tibcanread
Lovely Complex Vol. 1 by Aya Nakahara

4.0

I'm currently going through an old manga phase and reading the series I read throughout middle and high school. Some have held up over the ages, some have not. This one is still just as fun and cute as I remember and while I don't remember if I finished the series (I have a strong tendency to do that), I am very excited to finish it this time around.

I love Risa and Atsushi's banter and casual friendship when they aren't at each other's throats, though I didn't remember the feelings being that strong in the first volume, but that's fine. I still really love the art of this series. There's just something about how the hair is drawn that makes it look so soft and fluffy and for some reason that makes my brain go brrr (The art of the anime on the other hand doesn't live up to the standard of the manga, but that's just a me thing.)
