Sukitte Ii na yo (review by nekochan)

Japanese: 好きっていいなよ。
English: Say "I love you".

I recommend this manga to readers who don't like too much drama that can make you emotionally affected. The story's not something extraordinary, but still, their love story's cute. The female lead's an introvert and the male lead's friendly.

Nekochan's review starts now...
*SPOILER ALERT!*

For the female lead, Tachibana Mei...She's so reserved. She's an introvert and that made other people bully her. She doesn't talk that much, but when she does, her lines are really loooooooooooooooooooong! To the point that the other character will be left dazed or dumbfounded. It actually looks like preaching. XD But, she only talk that way with other people not with Yamato. She's a beginner in love, and that's one of the conflict they face.

For the male lead, Yamato Kurosawa...He's kind, but toooooooo kind, to the point that he can be misunderstood. He's popular, so it's expected to see girls around him that Tachibana has to deal with.















The storyline/story:
It's fast at the beginning, but it's not too long when it becomes boring. :( It's like running around the bushes, or procrastination. The concept of the story, as I've said, is not anything extraordinary. It's like a singer singing in a cappella. Even if her voice's nice, it lacks something. Did you read my review about Chocolate Cosmos?

" I wonder why side stories are not included in the chapters. I mean, why does it have to be a side story in the first place? Can't they just insert it in the chapters?"

In this manga, instead of putting the background of a character as part of a chapter, I think it should just be a side story. It's because some of the characters were not really a big part of the life of the main characters, so why bother?

The title:
Title fits the story. :)

The Art:
It's nice BUT boring background. Most of the time it's white, PLAIN WHITE. There were times that I was confused of the setting.

What's in this manga common in other mangas I've read(22 mangas, so far):
Popular guy; bully girl turned friend(o.O)

What made an impression on me:
Mei's hair's not a wig! XD lol! I mean, it grows.

What else?
I felt a little exhausted with reading the looooooooooooooooong lines XD Mei appears with a poker face most of the time. XD I find the overall package, a simple story.
