Synopsis

Playboy Kai definitely knows his way around girls' hearts, but when he has a run-in with tomboy Riko, he may be in for more than he bargained for! Riko definitely doesn't fit Kai's usual type of girl: she's short-tempered, scary, and can (has) easily beat him up. There's no way a rough and tumble girl like Riko is capable of a delicate feeling like love! So imagine his surprise when he finds out about her secret, one-sided crush... But it's none of his concern, right?

I just finished the manga and it was super cute. I love the fact that it doesn't have any unnecessary drama and a love triangle. All the relationships have their own story and focus. One of the interesting things about this series is that it is focusing on the main boy dialogue more than the girl, which makes the series refreshing.

Story: [8/10]
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.

Kai and Riko definitely score points on the level of cuteness they exude from each other though!

Mixed Feelings
Hatsu*Haru is a cute romance about cute characters having cute relationships. The problem here is that being cute is what limits this story from being better than it can be. While it is easy to like the bubbly cast in their dreamy situations, there isn't much depth to anything because there is an emphasis to keep things charming. This lack of a more down-to-earth storytelling makes things too convenient, too distant from reality.

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. ...
