This was listed on the 2014 Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens list by YALSA, the Young Adult Library Services Association. So I'll say it's okay. It's popular. But I have issues with it. Ninako is ignorant when it comes to love. At first, she thinks she may be in love with her friend Daiki because "he's a nice guy, and it's fun being around him." But then the hot guy of the school, Ren, talks to her after he bumps into her on the train after school. And, from then, on, it's all about her catching his eye and realizing that she's in looo---ve. So evidently I'm not a fan of manga chick lit, but I know there is a HUGE fanbase of this stuff all over the world. But at least I'm trying to read things out of my comfort zone! Ninako has never known what love is until she meets Ren. He’s the guy that almost every girl loves. After a few brief encounters, she finds her caring for Ren and starting to experience love. The more she asks her friends about love the more they think she is talking about her friend, Daiki.She doesn’t know what to do when Daiki confesses that he loves her. Her friends already expect them to get together, but she can’t stop having feelings for Ren. Will she be able to sort her feelings for a guy she barely knows or her friend?I love manga series like this one. It’s very endearing and sweet. It might not seem to have a lot of depth, but Ninako’s experience of feeling what love is adds a depth to it that might not be as noticeable in other deeper series. Ninako does seem a bit ditzy, but I love her for it. There’s a part in the book where she asked what love was and someone told her it hurt. Her reaction was just so cute. I’m not sure how I feel about Ren, but I do feel bad for her friend Daiki. I could never see myself confessing to a friend for fear of the friendship being awkward. I’m definitely rooting for Daiki.
What do You think about Strobe Edge, Vol. 1 (2012)?
Pretty cute for a first volume. Will update once I've finished the series.

A hilarious and unique shoujo. Albeit frustrating.
