The story of Koukou Debut is lighthearted, makes you feel those "butterfly kisses" and brings a definite slice of life as you read each chapter. Anyone who loves romance-type manga will surely find Koukou Debut enjoyable to read and they could easily relate to the story.
The fluffy romance between a tomboyish girl and Mr. Popular goes like this. Haruna Nagashima can be described as a butterfly trying to get out of its cocoon, strong-willed and has a lot of determination.Her life in junior high focused in playing softball BUT now that she's going to high school, she wants to have a boyfriend and have the
...
high school romance of a lifetime. Now the question is...how will she do it? Fortunately for her, she meets Yoh Komiyama (a popular, not to mention, hot upperclassmen of hers) by chance. With a little bit of push, Yoh agrees to coach her to overcome her jock-like attitude and turn herself into the kind of girl who can attract a guy.Sounds too good to be true? Think again! He agrees to help Haruna with one condition: She had better not fall for him!
The characters are a total masterpiece. You could really see the change within them and it is easy to put yourself in their shoes.You will even find yourself supporting Haruna on her quest to find a boyfriend, after all she's the type who'll you really want to help. Why do I say that? It's because Haruna is a very lovable character,being a klutz, naive and all. Don't forget her cute antics! With her personality shining in a pink color...what could be a better contrast for it than blue? Yoh is surely "blue" for me. He is the 'cool' type and naturally popular to girls;deep inside him lays an honest,shy and a guy who has insecurities about relationships and stuff :).
What I loved about this manga is the romance between Haruna and Yoh, taken in an average-paced manner which really helped in showing that in love...nobody's perfect. You could really see how they fell in love with each other, considering Yoh's past and the couple's insecurities as to think if they're really the one for each other.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and I am sure you will do to. This manga could actually increase your self-esteem and see things in a different perspective when it comes to relationships. As to conclude my review...
"Koukou debut is like a cake. Sweet and fluffy with a slice of life in every bite"
