5.0

I've already watched the anime and really wanted to continue on with the journey and see how things would develop between Haru and Shizuku (not to mention the rest of the cast!) and so I decided to go ahead and buy the volumes.

Since I loved the anime, I knew I'd love the first volume of this manga since they follow each other pretty closely. The art style is really nice, the characters are great and a lot of fun (I can't get over how much I love Shizuku!), the plot is wonderful and it sort of feels slice-of-life-like without being quite as slow paced as that (and I do love a good slice-of-life from time to time, but this isn't quite that neither in pace nor overall plot/theme/execution).

The story of a boy that alienates people because he comes of as kind of scary (though mostly just REALLY intense and very much brutally honest, which can be off-putting more so than scary) and a girl so caught up in her studies that she doesn't really have any friends and how the two end up crossing paths. Well, it gets pretty hilarious. Especially Shizuku's reasoning that leads her to meeting Haru in the first place and his rather overwhelmingly positive reaction to her a little later on when she stands up for him is pretty epic.

I'm actually on volume 8 (no worries, I won't give anything away) and I know people like to know whether or not it stays as good as it goes on and so far I must say it really does! So yeah, it's well worth a read!
