Atashi no Banbi

Carino, ma ci voleva il bacio finale (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

I really like this, even if the romance could be elaborated on. The beginning two chapters or so is slow, focusing on their different characters/personalities and them interacting, getting along, not getting along etc.

Then it picks up speed and turns into a half typical shoujo, in a good way. Small almost heart fluttering moments for the female MC and how she mulls over what the 'word' is that describes her feelings for him.

I wished these moments were longer, but I didn't mind the transition from the beginning slow pace to speeding up for the romance.

Overall the tone of the manga wasn't too cliche and cutesy with all the predictable actions and dialogue, but it just had enough sprinkling of romantic tension to keep it from being too mundane and vague.

Wished there was another chapter after their confession though.

Also, usually I cringe when there are stories of delinquent boy x girl, because usually the author jumps straight to the predictable jerky romantic actions of the male MC from the get go.

Instead I like that the mangaka establishes the friendship between the two and from friends become more. I find that more enjoyable for the most part.

Last but not least, the female MC isn't too dense about her feelings yay!

Meh.
I didn't really like this one. I felt it had too much fluff-text, and too few actual developments.
It felt like it constantly tried to hint it is trying to go somewhere, but it never actually did. For a Shoujo, this was pretty darn mellow on the romance, it was pretty surprising.

that baka. get it already

Cute, simple, and sweet. Plus I didn't want to murder the girl! A definate reccomend.

This is not bad for a shoujo manga. Wish there is more though.

You know something's definitely wrong with the manga industry when stories like this only last for 4 chapters. Liked it. Really liked it. Smoked through it in less than an hour, and definitely goes to my top 5 of shoujo mangas.

My first time reading a shojo without wanting to murder the main girl.

But it was too short! I want more Hachiya, that cute little idiot :C

it's kind of refreshing to see an academically ambitious, strong protagonist in shoujo manga who isn't too oblivious about attraction. i hope this gets a sequel.

Squee! Cute nerd girl is cute! That's all I got. Hope you weren't expecting too much.

hahahaah. stupidly cute. 

hahahaha.. i came to realize that i've read this manga before after finishing all the chapters.. Lols.. 

I don't read shojo normally, but found myself liking the story so much. It's simple and cute. I wish it would be longer tho  

 

Good read. Recommended

awwww~ it's so short.. i want more~

I am going to like my own status because I like this manga...and my status.

thats sad.. but  it is a good manga

I am going to like my own status because I like this manga...and my status.

*sniff. What a splendid manga. *sniff... I like it so very much.. The length is okay and was wrapped up nicely, though I would like it much longer.. maybe about 20 chapters ... Ahuhuhu, T_T I want more of their relationship. How they treat each other and Hachiya's incredible character.. Whyyy??! Oh, Why was it short? :'( Or.. or maybe I'm just feeling sad since it ended quickly. Oh please, why did it ended quickly?. You know how hard it is to search for a splendid and satisfying manga these days. Hayzzzzz.... Though that's just me telling..

It does remind me of TnK a bit, but I prefer Hachiya and Haruko over Haru and Shizuku. I think they're a lot more fun and less fickle.

That ending
Hachiya was obviously pushing her buttons on purpose. It's kind of cute how much he likes Haruko, lol.

OK, I clearly read too much manga. When I read MissMumbai's comment I was like "Ron and Hermione? I don't remember any manga with a Ron and . . . Oh."

I like this sort of manga, two thumbs up.

Was that it? I really had hopes that this manga would continue. It reminds me so much of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun but the main heroine is much more confident and sure with what her feelings really are. But if it has ended it doesn't really feel like that's it.

It was so obvious Hachiya was making Haruko go nuts it was really cute
Weren't there only four chapters? But that didn't feel like the end at all...

Fun.

LOVE this !
Reminds me of Ron and Hermione <3
