Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun, Vol. 01 (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Like some other people I watched the anime on Netflix and then when the season ended went "No I need more!" I really enjoyed reading this, there were so many refreshing things about it. The fact that one of the girl's main story lines is how much she loves and wants to support her female friendships, and that she and the main boy spend the most time together in a completely platonic way. Or that the main character is so stoic that she doesn't get swept up in these huge dramas all the time. My only complaints would be the the "hints at a dark past" just kind of get resolved pretty simply, and at the end it zips through a year in one chapter. I kept looking at frames being like "No! I want the chapter behind that!" I think that gives credit to the fact that the friendships were so good I wanted to see those parts even when the main love story wasn't involved. But those are small complaints, I did really enjoy the series over all. i have read the whole thing and let me tell you .. it was so fluff .. Haru was so cute and idiot .. the girl ,which her name i dont recall , I think Shizue ... i kinda dislike her because she is a study bug .. i pity the fair haired guy , because he fell for Shizue , Yet he was so arrogant , he deserve it ..the ending was satisfying even though i wanted to know about the other characters "ending" ..
What do You think about Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun, Vol. 01 (2009)?
It absolutely adorable. I haven't liked a girl manga character so much in a while.
