round-ish shaped drawings and it matches the tone of the story (which is a bunch of cuteness and diabetes)!! In his normal state, he is kind, mellow and wise but often confused. Even Rin, his girlfriend, once stated that his "brain works in the oddest ways", with that being a rebuttal to Haru deciding to get piercings after getting complaints about his hair.

The plot starts off with our *gasp* male lead and protagonist Kai Ichinose enjoying a blissfully blessed high school life, filled with girls throwing themselves at him given his natural charm and good looks. He knows he’s got it, he wants to flaunt it, and no amount of scolding from his well meaning classmate This manga maybe is more known than the rest, I think, but I see why it is recommended. First of all, I affirm right now thatIchinose is the sweetest thing in the universe when it blushes like a tomato. I'm sorry, it's important to clarify that point. The characters really carry the story for me. This manga is definitely a play on cliches, but the author really cares about her characters and gives them the development they deserve! Kai maturing throughout the story warmed my heart, and watching him squeal over Riko made me squeal in return! I also enjoyed some of the side characters and their own romance adventure (in fact, I probably shipped one side pair MORE than the main couple. Hint hint: bestie x cameragirl is a win for me)! However, I did find myself not caring for some other characters and skimming through their arcs. Overall, most of the characters were a hit for me!

The story is not that unique though, a handsome misunderstood playboy boy falls in love with a not-so poor but feisty girl who tries to win her heart. But I am enjoying reading this, for me I think the best thing about this manga are the characters. They are all likable and the female lead though feisty is not overbearing nor annoying, her longtime one-sided crush is quite painful to see but she holds herself strong and is quite Among so many characters and couples, it is entertaining to choose some (MisakixAyumi forever) and have fun seeing how the boys are the ones who chase the girls, and they seem to hold the relationship, while the boys wait to confess, hold hands, first kiss...wait, I'm still talking about Kai...

Natsuki Takaya derived his name from the first month, hatsuharu meaning "new year" or "early spring," which is the month of the Ox, of the traditional Japanese calendar, though his name is written with different kanji than the month. I won't be greedy and say I want an anime version of this already of 18 volumes of their entire high school life charted out day by day, but I'm definitely wishing and praying that this goes on serialisation for at least a couple of volumes! The story revolves around our male main lead, Ichinose Kai, as he maneuvers his way into wooing our female main lead, Takanashi Riko. The story is in the perspective of Kai, the school's resident player! Incidentally, this "womanizer" falls for Riko who happens to be our unpopular tomboy. While the story maintains a fresh take on the popular guy-tomboy girl cliche: the drama, the misunderstandings or side plots can be a bit mundane and draggy at times. Kai and Riko definitely score points on the level of cuteness they exude from each other though! tenacious. Her worst trait is probably her denseness that some are finding annoying that is causing all the drama in the story. Add in to the male lead always thinking ahead of himself and misunderstanding situations this is like the biggest flaw of this manga. The slow pace and drama-fueled story can annoy some but I'm fine with the developments that have been happening. This is a shoujo manga that has a male lead as the protagonist, told from his point of view it deviates from the standard shoujo genre.

PPS I couldn't resist gushing even though I've barely read 2/3 of chapter 1 while I'm writing this down! I like the first third of the manga since it focuses on the two main protagonists, but after that the flow of the story is all over the place. The author just shoves the two other couples (Kiyo+Miki and Tarou+Kagura) into the story whenever it seems convenient. It is annoying that they are usually abruptly thrown in and removed here and there whenever the plot needs them.

The majority of this volume is devoted to the fact that Riko's mother is being transferred to Nagoya and that Riko (and her mother) have to decide whether or not she's going to go with. While this may not feel like anything exciting or revolutionary, what it does is force both the reader and the characters to rethink the way we've been seeing the characters. Riko, despite spending most of her time at home alone, is still a child, and just because she rarely saw her mother around the house didn't mean that she wasn't comforted by the fact that her mother was nearby. Her mom, meanwhile, is aware of the fact that Riko has a boyfriend and a friend group that she'll have to leave, and she's not fully confident that she ought to be uprooting her, especially since all of this would seem to indicate that Riko perhaps needs her peers more than her mother at this stage of her life. Kai, coming from a close family, isn't sure what to think – a piece of him feels that he could take better care of Riko than her mom at this point, and he has to come to understand that not only is the decision Riko's, but that as a high school second-year, he may not really be in the best position to offer her what she needs.

Hatsu*Haru Series by Shizuki Fujisawa - Goodreads

The characters are fun and the plot isn't heavy, making this a breeze to finish! This is by far one of the better shoujo mangas I've read. I am a firm believer that cliches are good for a reason and as long as your story has a fresh take on it, it'll be a hit! Of course there were some parts that were dull, but once they gave me the cuteness I needed, it was very an enjoyable read. The pairings of tomboyish Riko Takanashi + the sentimental Kai Ichinose and the silent Misaki Takaya + the ebullient Ayumi Shimura are lovable as they learn more about themselves and their loved ones. Overall, I have just read one chapter and I am impressed. Like capital I, capital M (and so on) in bold and underlines with neon signs pointing to it from all directions! I won't be greedy and say I want an anime version of this already or 18 volumes worth of their entire high school life charted out day by day, but I'm definitely wishing and praying that this title goes on serialisation for at least a couple of volumes! PS I don't want to spoil anything for folks since it's just one chapter out, but the straightforwardness of the two leads, the humor in the dialogues and the amusing direction of the story are not to be missed! You'll love how this heroine isn't over the top in any regard, but puts the hero and his inflated sense of princely self into his place over and over!While it feels good to see the characters show their affection for each other, there isn't much realism in the drama to see them through a broader perspective. Problems are solved with some light drama, but without much difficulty. Hatsu Haru is a shining jewel in the treasure chest of shoujo romances in a school setting. Though I’m possibly getting a bit ahead of myself given its newness (the first chapter released nary 10 days ago) I cannot help but be drawn to its novelty, its gaiety and its overall awesome-sauce-ness!
