Koukou Debut: an definite good read

[Puguni]

Ah...Koukou Debut, or High school Debut is a beautiful shojo manga that has recently been licensed by Viz and it has captured my heart.

This is a very big deal, coming from me, because I don't read shojo mangas or like them very much at all.

The story is about Haruna, who is a first year in high school. She loves to read shojo and wants very much to have a boyfriend in high school to experience love. However, she's devoted all her former time with softball, so she's had no time to look up the current trends or brush up on her social skills. She eventually enlists the help of a trendy boy named Yoh, who hates girls, but decides to help her anyway.

I absolutely love this manga for it's realistic touch and comedy and I want everyone here to read it, at least the girls. It's extremely clean for a shojo, which I love, and actually pretty straightforward. It's not a manga that makes you think. It also isn't angst/drama driven like most other shojo, which is a hook for me.

It's just a really great story and one I know many people here will appreciate. :3

I've read this up to Volume 6 and still like the way the main characters are handling the friendship/relationship. That says a lot for a shoujo manga title (haha). Based on what I've read so far, I would recommend this.

Hmmm. This feels mixed.

I love shojo, and I love strong characters. But I also like to read something that makes me think very deeply.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. And the cleaner the better as they say. XD

I would say it's more of a light read, something that can cheer you up when you've read too much angst, or something like that. CX
