Something About Us tell a real story, that might not be based in something that happened but something that might happen. Most mangas nowadays stay cliche, without trying to innovate with fear of sales not doing well. Problem is: we like the different, we like what's really.

Story involves 2 childhood friends (calm down, it's not the same...) that had personal problems in their lives but lived their high school phase with a lot funny moments that they treasure. But when they get older and start their adult life they discovered (or better, they found out) about love. With my initial comment about how this series ... tries to stay real, you are able to see that the problems and struggles that they pass throught happens with us in the daily basis: problems with grades, with love, discovering drugs etc.

I gotta say what I MOST ENJOYED was the female characters, since even thought she was shy, she was not weak, she did what she thought she should do. We need more of that in mangas industry and stop with that idea that the perfect girl for a series would be the passive one. This is story is remarkable, but if you gotta ask what was done wrong it definitely would be the end, that was rushed.

Any score point lower than 10 for this series, coming for me, would be a lie. It was definitely enjoyable. Give it a try, you won't regret.

Bless this mangaka.
