Strobe Edge, Vol. 1 by Io Sakisaka
2.0
[Review on the entire series] 2.5 stars
I am pretty picky when it comes to shoujo manga. I'd read so many terrible shoujo with stupid plots and shallow characters that there was a time I deeply loathed it. Not until did I have a chance to read such awesome shoujo mangas like Kimi Ni Todoke, Catsreet, Hibi Chouchou, Honey and Clover..vv. that I started to change my mind and tried to read Shoujos again, even though good shoujos are still hard to find.
Strobe Edge is not a bad manga, the art is pretty good. However, the plot is repetitive and the characters are quite boring. The love triangle is annoying. The character development is pretty non-existed. Actually I don't hate any character but I can't say that I like them either. The only characters that got my attention are Mayuka and Manabu. But they don't appear often in the manga.
However, I've read much more worse so I think it's an okay read.
