A review by abomine
Ai Yori Aoshi Vol. 1 by Kou Fumizuki
2.0
I picked this up at the library mostly on a whim, because I remember seeing this series advertised in the old Tokyopop editions of [b:Chobits|667985|Chobits, Vol. 1|CLAMP|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1487723428s/667985.jpg|2148984] and figured "Why not?"
Romcoms aren't really my thing to begin with, and this one volume alone had a lot of the tropes that bother me in these types of series (Aoi's slavish devotion to Kaoru was especially off-putting). Still, this wasn't as bad as it could have been. Aoi's closure with her mom was pleasant to see, and Kaoru wasn't a bad male lead. I at least was compelled enough to finish this volume, though I won't be picking up the rest of this series.
