SO SWEET!

One of the cutest current Shojo manga out there today! The manga follows a group of high schoolers, and two love birds! It's a great high school love story!

The beauty of first love.

While it is sometimes cute to see the main characters silly antics while they try to get together, waiting over 8 volumes or more to finally confess their love is very annoying. This is not the case in Monkey High, or Saruyama in Japanese. This Is the story of Haruna and Macharu's relationship. the ups and downs and difficulties and embarrassments of High School love. In this Volume, Haruna's jaded personality has change a little, and is all thanks to Macharu. The couple have to deal with their first date, a quiz contest and the return of Haruna's dad. This volume is better than the second one for sure. Macharu is not the the tall, sexy bishounen, but I will chose him over any sexy guy anytime.
