JUST MINE

I havent read this but you should read martial world first

You know. I am supremely dissapointed in the way it just ended. This is not over I know there are WAY more chapters than this yet they said it was DONE on 989.

I actually appreciate that the MC isn't flexing at all. Not every MC needs to be a fool that chases fame and external validation

Having been transferring schools constantly due to her parents' jobs, Hime is thrilled about her permanent new school. However, things take an unexpected turn when she enters her classroom and realizes there are no girls. It turns out that classes are divided by grade rank, and the school's top students are all males. No problem, she'll adapt—her main goal is to make friends. And she does; she catches the attention of the school's most popular guy, Toshi, and along with him come his four friends. Friends are friends, regardless of gender, and Hime’s high school life begins now.

The story, told from Hime’s perspective, doesn’t neglect the other characters, giving them all a chance to shine. This was a refreshing twist from typical romantic tales. It doesn’t follow a specific plot or set of guidelines but flows smoothly in depicting the everyday “normal” life of Hime and her five friends. Despite the highly exaggerated situations they find themselves in, it remains extremely entertaining to read and witness their journey unfold.

The romance develops gradually, subtly present from the start. At first, it’s just a hint, delivered in small, almost imperceptible doses, but it slowly adds up. Characters who initially had minor roles begin to stand out and make their mark. This isn't a tragic manga—it won’t make you cry your eyes out. Instead, it’s invigorating and humorous. The closest comparison I can think of is calling it Ouran High School Host Club with an edge.

Asou has a distinctive voice; within just one chapter, she proves herself as someone who stands her ground and won’t tolerate disrespect, making her a memorable heroine. Toshi is your typical “bad boy,” perceived as a delinquent but not always so. All the characters are friendly and unique. Although the narrative doesn’t follow the classic villain vs. hero drama, they still embark on ‘adventures’ and face their own metaphorical challenges. The diverse cast ensures there’s a character for every type of personality, allowing readers to connect with at least one.

The artwork is innovative and distinct from the usual style. The characters are intriguing, and this is evident in how they’re illustrated, each with their defining traits. While the frequent lip-licking or tongue-sticking gestures might get tiresome quickly, they become less noticeable after a few chapters.

When I first began reading this manga, I really disliked the art style; it wasn't appealing to me at all. However, the story was incredibly engaging, and over time, I even grew to appreciate the drawings. The characters are outstanding—each one is cool and attractive in their own way. Personally, I admire Hina the most because she doesn't constantly seek help from others. Instead, she goes out of her way to make her friends happy.

<p>As for the story, it might seem a bit dull at the beginning, but as you progress, it becomes very romantic and humorous. Regarding the art, as I mentioned earlier, I initially thought it was unattractive. But after getting used to it, I found it quite charming. In terms of enjoyment, I was completely hooked on "Five" and can't wait for the next chapters. That pretty much sums up my feelings!

<p>I believe anyone who enjoys romantic and funny stories should definitely give "Five" a try!

One of the first manga I read, and ultimately grew to love.  

The story revolves around Hina Asou transferring to a new school with the hope of finally making female friends, only to end up in a class full of guys.  
It's humorous, features great art, an adorable plot, and let's be honest, you can't help but adore Toshi.  

Unfortunately, they stopped translating it, so while the series concluded in Japan, we here don't know how it ended. T.T  

You should definitely give it a read!

I absolutely adored it. Just a heads up: This manga isn't translated from the end of chapter 65 up to chapter 77, but there are blogs discussing what happens, and it ends happily. Now, here's my review:

I really appreciate the art style. The only minor issue is with the hands sometimes (the fingers can be overly elongated). However, it's distinctive and invigorating. Many people critique the artwork, but since I enjoy it, I'm awarding it a 9.

The characters are fantastic. The romance wasn't an instant love story like in many other mangas; instead, it developed over the course of the 77 chapters, with the love confession only occurring near the conclusion. That being said, there's enough romantic tension sprinkled throughout to keep you thrilled when it unfolds. And, as with most mangas, you can guess early on who she'll end up with.

While the characters could have been more fleshed out—I would have enjoyed learning about the past of some additional characters and delving deeper—it wasn't a significant drawback for me. It was still an entertaining read.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and read the entire series in one sitting.

This tale, I must admit, wasn't particularly intriguing at first. I came across it several times but never stopped to give it a chance. However, after deciding to take the plunge, I finally did read it. To my surprise, it turned out to be much better than I had anticipated. It's both humorous and romantic. While it's more of a reverse harem, focusing on the girl, that's precisely what makes it enjoyable. It revolves around strong friendships and budding crushes, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The male characters aren't exceptionally charming, but the story is still engaging and worth reading.
