Suzuki Hikaru, Hoshino Sayaka, Ito Chihiro and Suzuki Shinobu are all new students who have just entered the same middle school. Sayaka is a shy girl who secretly loves acting. Hikaru is an energetic boy who loves basketball. Incidentally, he shares the same last name with Shinobu, a popular rich boy who would be perfect if not for his rotten personality. Chihiro is Hikaru’s childhood friend and has long had a crush on him.
On the day of the opening ceremony, Hikaru happens to witness Sayaka acting out the lines of a drama on the rooftop and is instantly captivated. Upon seeing Hikaru getting along with Sayaka, Chihiro’s chest begins to ache. When Shinobu sees this, he is overcome by a strange emotion and his heart starts beating faster… Unbeknownst to the four, this is the beginning of their magnificent love story; one that would last years to come.
Gō Ikeyamada (池山田剛, born May 25) is a Japanese manga artist. She made her debut with Get Love!! in 2002, which was serialized in Shōjo Comic. Her manga mostly consists for a more young adult audience, due to some explicit content.
--- I Love You Suzuki kun!! 1-? --- Plot: ... Gambar: Ok. Penokohan: ...saya sangat-teramat tidak suka dengan tokoh protagonis ceweknya.
Saya tidak membaca komik ini sampai tamat^^ Saya bahkan cuma berhenti di volume kedua dan berpikir kalau sebaiknya saya tidak lanjut-- terlepas dari hal-hal menarik yang tidak kubaca setelahnya.
Menjengkelkan. Saya tidak bisa bersimpati dan berkompromi dengan pemeran utama ceweknya. Diceritakan bahwa dia begitu imajinatif kalau menyangkut drama, seolah dunianya hanya panggung pentas saat ia latihan dan ia melupakan segala sesuatu disekitarnya. Saya mengerti kalau ada juga yang saking fokusnya, sampai begitu. Tapi jangan sampai lupa diri juga, itu sih sudah kelewatan. Atau apakah saya yang terlalu tidak toleran terhadap sikapnya ini?
Mungkin itu plot komik shoujo yang harusnya saya terima saja dengan biasa-biasa. Tapi entah ya-- menurutku sudah diluar batas toleranku. Saya tidak berniat membaca komik ini lagi dan saya bahkan tidak peduli tamatnya bagaimana. Lagipula pasangannya sudah jelas. [5/10]
<3 <3 <3 this manga is EPIC !! made me laugh so harddddddddd !! and cryy so loudd :'( :'( !! it's such an amazing and heartbreaking and fun manga !! i cant wait for the next chapter !! :'( :(
Zwei Jungs in einer Klasse… beide mit dem Nachnamen Suzuki… kann das gut gehen? Besonders gut leiden können sich Shinobu und Hikaru nicht, doch kommt alles anders, als es sich die beiden zuerst gedacht haben! Shinobu verliebt sich Hals über Kopf in Hikarus Sandkastenfreundin, während sich zwischen Hikaru und der grauen Maus der Klasse eine zarte Liebesbeziehung entwickelt. Eine turbulente Vierecksbeziehung über die erste erfüllte und unerfüllte Liebe. Da die Charaktere im Laufe der Serie merklich älter werden, vertiefen sich auch die Konflikte und Emotionen. Man kann die beiden Suzukis und ihre Freundinnen beim Erwachsenwerden begleiten, mit ihnen lachen und weinen und vielleicht das ein oder andere an sich selbst wiedererkennen!
Cover:
Das Cover kommt quietschbunt daher. Hier sehen wir die vier Protagonisten der Reihe und wie sie dem Betrachter auf ihre ganz eigene Art entgegenblicken. Das passt ganz gut, macht neugierig und lässt schon vermuten, dass es hier um ein Beziehungsdrama gehen könnte.
Eigener Eindruck: Hikaru und Chihiro sind Sandkastenfreunde und 13 Jahre alt. Während sie in ihn verliebt ist, geht er noch immer recht unbedarft durchs Leben. Shinobu ist einer ihrer Mitschüler und mehr als eingebildet, denn ihm passt es gar nicht, dass er und Hikaru den gleichen Nachnamen tragen. Als der hochnäsige Shinobu die graue Maus Sayaka mobbt, verteidigt sie Hikaru und die beiden Jungen geraten aneinander. Es kommt wie es kommen muss. Hikaru verliebt sich in Sayaka und Chihiro wird deswegen eifersüchtig. Sie wiederum wird aber von Shinobu geliebt, der ihre Liebe zu Hikaru nicht verstehen kann. Als es in der Schule ein Theaterstück geben soll, bei dem Chihiro nicht die Hauptrolle übernehmen kann, soll Sayaka einspringen, da der Lehrer ihr Potential kennt, doch diese ist ja so schüchtern…
Die Geschichte der vier Protagonisten liest sich sehr gut. Alles wird ausreichend erklärt und die Zeichnungen sind sehr hübsch anzusehen. Der Mangaka versteht es Spannungen und Verzweigungen aufzubauen und man ist als Leser wirklich gespannt, wie es mit den Protagonsiten weiter gehen wird. Die Emotionen sind bei allen Charakteren völlig nachvollziehbar und der Manga kommt auch ohne große Übertreibungen aus. Dass es sich hier um einen Manga im klassischen Sinne handelt, das bemerkt man schnell – Themen wie Schule, die erste Liebe oder unerwiderte Liebe stehen im Vordergrund. Das ist sehr angenehm zu lesen, besonders weil es keine übertriebenen Intrigen eggen einen der Charaktere oder dergleichen gibt. Ich hoffe, dass es so bleibt, dann könnte dieser Manga wirklich zu einen meiner absoluten Lieblinge werden.
Fazit:
Eine verzwickte Liebesgeschichte, welche sehr interessant zu werden scheint. Freunde der romantischen Literatur werden hier voll und ganz auf ihre Kosten kommen!
It's cute, but I'm getting tired of series with flash forwards so you know what's going to happen NOW in the plot, it's about getting to that point in the plot, because it makes this feel superfluous.
Let’s just say that this review is appearing totally randomly on the blog. First of all, at the time I am writing the review (it’s October FYI), the story is completed but it’s not fully translated in English. I can even say there are more chapters translated and uploaded in Russian. I will be making two reviews, I might make a third one, but I’m not 100% sure about that, as first I’ll need to read the story to the end and for that I guess if by the time the review hits blog, which is right now, there’s no new updates, I’ll have to buy last 6 volumes in German. Though I’ll have one advantage. I’ll resurrect my German skills. Good bargain if you ask me.
But let me get back to the review! I’m covering 1/3 of the whole series, and I stopped right where the author says: end of part one. So that I do not mix two different lives together. The story is fantastic and it is the longest so far in Ikeyamada-sensei’s works. It is fun, it is sad and it surely is a story worth reading. We follow 2 love lines: one is Sayaka x Hikaru and another Chihiro x sShinobu. The part that I’m reviewing our heroes are in middle school. The story starts with them being 13 and meeting each other. Will, technically Chihiro & Hikaru are childhood friends. It is very interesting to read hos Hikaru & sayaka fall in love with each other, and how at the end of the 33 chapters Shinobu & Chihiro finally start a relationship.
All characters are fantastic. I especially love Chihiro, but I’ll cover her character next time, as what I wasn’t to talk about will spoil the next chapters. Let me concentrate on Sayyaka & Hikaru and the ives of 13 –year-olds. I loved those two. They made a couple that you would like to be you. I really wished that Hikaru was real. He’s a fantastic character. The way he conveys his feelings to Sayaka as well as how he is always when she needs him, makes him a perfect boyfriend. In the very beginning, I was not Sayaka’s biggest fan, but the more the story went on the more I understood that I love her character. She’s shy, she’s introverted but as soon as she starts acting she becomes a character that you just can’t take your eyes off. I love how they confessed to each other. And that moments when both of them are jealous their make-up s fantastic. Sometimes I even forget that they story was featuring middle school kids. The emotions are overflowing and you are wondering what is going to happen when they are featured as high school kids? Trust me, what I’ve read by now it was amazing and I can’t wait to know how the story will end.
I hope you will start reading this amazing story. I know I’m not fair recommending a story that is still being translated, but trust me you’ll love this story and the character. If you are looking for a story with lots of love, some drama and action than this story is just for you. Explore this amazing world of acting, basketball and school life. Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favouirite book or manga! Happy reading!
I just have to say that every volume AND chapter of this book makes me squeal with embarrassing joy! The story revolves around two childhood friends named Chihiro (popular and kind)and Suzuki Hikaru (basketball whiz kid, shorty, and rambunctious hero) who have been neighbors since in diapers, have sacrificed dreams and hopes for each other, and are only...friends. It is unbelievable to say in my view, but the thing is that Chihiro has been in love with Suzuki since forever as told at the beginning of the book. She has not revealed that fact so that she would not ruin what they already have(a bit of a dense hero, don't you think?) Let's not forget about the story's heroine who happens to be a four-eyed, shy, good girl named Hoshino Sayaka who had recently moved into their school from another town. The story really begins when Suzuki witnesses Hoshino acting out scenes on the school's rooftop with so much passion and reality that... Oh no, it seems that I have forgotten what happens. I suppose you have to read it your self and become an Otaku (look it up)just as I have become over this astounding book.
OK, l'avevo letto per la prima volta a luglio 2013 e mi ero decisa a comprare tutta la serie.
Adesso ci sono tornata per leggermi tutti e 18 volumi uno dietro l'altro.
Mi è piaciuto! Non so perché ma l'autrice riesce a rendere divertenti anche i soliti stereotipi degli shojo manga. Perfino Hai presente Midori?! aveva una marcia in più rispetto ad altri shojo.
Qua, ci sono due amici d'infanzia che cominciano le medie. Lei è un maschiaccio, lui è un tappetto appassionato di basket. Frizzanti come pochi altri. Lui s'innamora a prima vista della classica timidona che, in questo caso, si rileverà un'attrice bravissima. E cerca in tutti i modi di aiutarla a superare la sua timidezza. L'amica d'infanzia, invece, diventa il centro delle attenzioni di un figlio di papà che ha lo stesso cognome del ragazzo. Il poveretto non si era mai innamorato e adesso deve vedersela con i suoi sentimenti.
Certo, non c'è niente di nuovo ma è raccontato in maniera spumeggiante. E i disegni sono spettacolari.
Creative, the author has her own distinct style. Every character seems cute and loveable, though our heroine, Houshino seems to be to weak more my taste. I personally like Chihiro and Shinobu much more than the main couple.
