Sakura's Dedication, Vol. 1 by Fuyu Yukimiya

4.0

A sweet romance about a forward guy and reserved girl!

After breaking up with her cheating ex, Hanasaki is approached by her male classmate Sakura who asks her to be his girlfriend. After she rejects him due to him 'not being her usual type', Sakura persists until he secures a date with the girl he likes. Unused to compliments and being treated with such passion and love, this cute manga tackles a relationship between someone who is overly affectionate (Sakura) and his more reserved girlfriend (Hanasaki).

Their dynamic is really interesting and even within the few chapters contained in this volume, their relationship grows really beautifully. Without spoiling the plot, I will simply say I am a big fan of the young couple!

The art style is really nice and clean, though very occassionally it took a second to work out who the 'speech bubble' or 'thought bubble' was coming from.

Overall I would say this is a very strong start to a romance manga, which I plan to continue as more volumes are produced.
