I paid for 2nd party of this book 1-53 and it doesn't show any chapters before 8.

Good morning call is an average manga, one that gives off a sense of familiarity, as if you've encountered it before. It doesn't introduce anything new and will likely be forgotten over time. The story isn't just slow to unfold; it barely progresses at all. Beyond the "love story" between the two main characters, there's no central narrative being told. Despite spanning 11 volumes, not much actually happens. As you approach the end, you'll experience a recurring sense of déjà vu, as the author begins recycling the limited events occurring outside the lead characters' apartment. The conclusion is also deeply unsatisfying, left entirely open-ended. While it does offer a somewhat "feel-good" resolution, it was disappointing to see the author fail to capitalize on the one plot element she started developing in the final pages. If you're seeking a manga with any semblance of a conclusive ending, this isn't the choice for you.

The artwork is one of the stronger aspects of the manga. It alternates between a more realistic style and a more comedic one. Personally, I favored the realistic style and wished the author had utilized it more frequently, but I must acknowledge that both styles were technically well-executed.

Character development mirrors the stagnation of the plot—there is none. The characters remain largely unchanged from the first page to the last. They may have occasional epiphanies, but these never lead to meaningful growth. They continue repeating the same mistakes, living their static lives. Additionally, the author introduces two new comic relief characters late in the series. Strangely, they don't start off as comic relief; this role develops gradually across the subsequent volumes. Eventually, they receive an entire chapter dedicated to them, which felt out of place given the expected climax. Once they fulfilled their purpose in the plot, they should have been phased out instead of becoming comic relief figures. The one comic relief character introduced early on is among the worst in the series. The same joke about his inability to get a girlfriend is repeated in what seems like most chapters, sometimes multiple times within the same chapter. By the end, I began skipping sections involving him, as I simply couldn't endure the repetitive humor anymore.

The manga can be amusing at times, particularly in the beginning when the jokes are still fresh. Even as my interest waned, the author managed to keep me engaged with some well-placed humorous moments. There were also instances where I thought a plot might develop and advance, leading me to genuinely enjoy the manga during those brief periods. Despite forcing myself to finish the last two volumes, the author did inject just enough enjoyment into the rest of the manga to keep me going, hoping it would improve.

Overall, the manga isn't bad, but it isn't good either. If you have nothing better to do with your time and have a strong affinity for the slice-of-life genre, you could do worse. However, if you're looking for a manga where romance takes center stage, one with a coherent plot, or one featuring deep, developed characters, then this is not the manga for you.

<p>I wouldn't say this story is the greatest, but it's a light-hearted tale that portrays a couple living together. People often overlook the fact that stories aren't always crafted to show characters growing or improving; some simply highlight the stability in someone's life, and development isn't essential for every narrative. Personally, I enjoyed both the male and female leads. The guy is depicted as a typical jerk – a popular figure who doesn't care about much (except food, lol) – but unlike other manga I've read, Hisashi's affection for Nao is still apparent despite his aloofness. In many manga, cold love interests are often portrayed negatively and come across as toxic characters with severe mood swings. However, Hisashi has clear priorities and is fairly honest about his feelings. As for the female lead, she fits the happy-go-lucky stereotype, but I'd describe her as ignorant and simple-minded rather than stupid. Throughout the manga, I noticed numerous comments labeling her as dumb, yet I believe her emotions and actions were natural. Even though her boyfriend was extremely popular, she didn't get overly jealous of other girls around him. They both ensured that outside influences didn't interfere with their relationship. Overall, I had a pleasant time reading this manga just to pass the time.</p>

Wow... I must say, I don't think I've ever come across such a mediocre manga before. =( I kept reading, hoping "Alright, any moment now, the girl will mature and stop being so dumb," or "Alright, any moment now, the guy will transform and become warmer to her." But before I knew it, I had reached volume 11, and that was it. There was NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT at all. AT ALL. The only thing that seemed to develop was their mutual attraction, which appeared to be entirely based on teenage hormones and the fact that they lived together. There was never a moment of "Oh, she's actually not so bad because ______" for Uehara.

Even the adults in this manga act like kids—Yuri? "I wanna have an affair?" Are you ten?

If you're looking for romance, don't bother with this one. It's more about school life and slice-of-life than romance, I felt. There was hardly any development between the characters. I think the side couple, Mi(t)-chan and Marina, were better off than the main couple.

So, bottom line: wow, I can't believe that was 11 volumes and I felt like hardly anything happened. And Uehara should wipe that frown off his face; he's handsome except that frown just got really annoying.

They also never really faced major problems; her parents never visited or anything. There was a lot more they could have done with this story, but they didn't. And the problems resolved themselves by the culprit coming to them and confessing—I mean, wow, way to be undramatic there...

There was never any kira-kira, beautiful moments where it was like WOW, he really put himself out there for her. The whole manga was very mediocre and anti-climactic. The ending was very cliché as well, but whatever, happy happy joy joy.

I think the target audience for this manga is probably young teens, under age 15. I guess I'm a bit jaded and beyond that age, so I did not enjoy it at all. It was humorous at least, I'll give you that... and thus, I end on a positive note. ^^

Skip the manga, watch the drama.  
Spoilers for fans of the Drama.  

I picked up this manga because I absolutely adored the 2016 drama. I just couldn't get enough of my Diachi. His character wasn't even in the original books! If you've watched the show and are simply looking for some light, feel-good fluff in manga form, then go for it. Otherwise, don't bother—you won't be missing out on much. Almost everything is already in the show, and honestly, it's better there.  

The artwork in the first few volumes, which were created in the nineties, felt like a breath of fresh air compared to newer manga from recent years.  

The entire story unfolds over about six months, so while some reviews claim there's no character development, I believe there was a decent amount considering the characters' ages.

Good Morning Call is the ideal shoujo for anyone, regardless of their mood! It's rare to come across such a fun and light-hearted romance. Although the story might be far-fetched, the relationship depicted feels genuinely authentic, especially considering it's between two young teenagers.

The narrative is playful, filled with twists and turns that create an uplifting experience for readers. It deviates slightly from the typical shoujo formula, offering a familiar yet refreshingly new story. Most of the character development takes place in the shared home of the two leads, which adds a unique dynamic to the series.

The artwork ranks high on my list for shoujo manga, with a delightfully bubbly style. I was particularly impressed by the diversity in character design. A common flaw in many mangas, not just shoujo, is the repetitive use of similar character designs or a generic "good-looking" template, which can overshadow individual personalities. However, the artist here excels in making each character distinct and memorable, allowing readers to recognize them even years after finishing the story.

Good Morning Call beautifully blends comedy and romance, creating a warm and enjoyable reading experience. It's highly recommended for any manga enthusiast, whether they're new to the genre or seasoned veterans.

Cute and humorous, Good Morning Call is a manga I would recommend to any shoujo fan seeking an upbeat and lighthearted tale to enjoy some leisure time and have a laugh.

GMC follows Nao Yoshikawa, a 15-year-old girl who remains in the city when her parents relocate to the countryside. Thrilled by the idea of living independently for the first time, she soon faces an issue: the apartment she plans to move into has also been rented to a boy, Hisashi Uehara, who happens to be one of the most popular guys at her school.

Unable to determine who should keep the apartment (and confronted with a rent increase), the two decide to become roommates, despite having nothing in common and not knowing each other beforehand. You can probably guess what unfolds next.

I genuinely appreciate how this mangaka illustrates her characters, particularly when they make goofy expressions. The protagonist is rather silly but endearing, and her relationship with Uehara creates some truly amusing scenarios, mostly due to the fact that he is likely one of the least romantic and cheesy shoujo heroes ever.

The downside is probably the series' extension. Many readers might be discouraged by the absence of a substantial plot in the second half of the series. Some volumes are essentially filled with filler content that, although funny, does not significantly contribute to the story.
