One Rejected, Twice Wanted

Great book to read..... Really enjoyed reading it.

don't like that he died. should have ended up with her. waste of money for this book. book has no meaning to it now

I began reading this manga and initially found it quite adorable. Given its brevity, I managed to complete it in one night, so the entire story is still vivid in my memory.

It was indeed cute, but I can only give it a 6/10 rating. (If I could use decimals, it would probably be closer to 6.5 or so.)

Here’s my opinion (spoiler-free):

The plot is reasonable, the artwork has a typical shoujo style, and overall, it’s charming. However, the central theme of the manga revolves around the main character. I don’t dislike her—in fact, I find her endearing! The issue lies in her uncontrollable habit of speaking harshly about others, which seems almost as if she's under some kind of curse. She knows exactly what she wants to say in her mind, but when the words come out, they twist into something mean-spirited. In fact, it’s so severe that most of her dialogue throughout the manga consists of thoughts or narration—and whenever possible, she avoids speaking unless spoken to.

This single aspect overshadows the entire narrative. While I want to focus on the romantic relationship between the protagonists or the amusing antics of the supporting characters, I can't help but notice that nearly everything that happens stems from her sharp tongue.

It feels like the summary would be more accurate if it read, "This is a love story about a girl who had a spell cast on her, making her only able to utter nasty remarks—and she must navigate school life with this terrible curse!" (Of course, magic doesn't exist in this manga; her condition is supposedly due to growing up surrounded by many brothers or something similar.)

ON THE OTHER HAND...

Let me clarify: It IS an enjoyable, lighthearted read. If you approach this as a purely fun and cute love story centered around something quirky like "a girl who can only insult people," then you might have a great time. Her love interest is an adorable character who handles her well, and there's something delightfully heartwarming about how he tolerates her. Since her sharp tongue appears entirely involuntary, making her seem like a victim of her own habits, his kindness is always appreciated, encouraging readers to root for them.

I might even consider purchasing this manga to keep on my shelf for those times when I'm bored and feel like reading something casual, but it's not among my top favorites at the moment.

Ultimately, whether or not you choose to check it out depends on your preference. I do recommend it for its charm and entertainment value.

<p>Kimi wa Girlfriend remains my all-time favorite manga. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it and following its comedy-romance themes. I frequently refer to it as my "inspiration" and the best manga I've ever read. I truly loved this manga! C:</p>

A truly excellent manga! Each page draws you in, compelling you to read more and more. The artwork is stunning, and the characters are incredibly entertaining. You'll find yourself laughing or squealing with delight in every chapter. While it's not overly addictive, you simply won't want to put it down. As you progress through the manga, you're exposed to various facets of the characters, allowing you to empathize with their emotions as an outsider. I'm disappointed that it concluded so swiftly, but on the other hand, it might not have been as great if it had continued indefinitely. It's highly enjoyable to read! I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone seeking something light and amusing.

This is a truly brief and entertaining manga. Since I adored Special A, I chose to explore more of the mangaka's works, and this one was quite delightful.  

I genuinely felt the character development was executed exceptionally well, propelling the story forward with a solid pace.  

These aren't your typical shoujo characters (tearful, overly feminine, clueless, angsty, distant, or tough).  
It was rather humorous and filled with many tender moments.  

The artwork was quite impressive. Kirie is such a bishie, lol!  

That aside, I wished it had more than four chapters. I also wanted to know a bit more about Kirie and the other two club members. It was a short tale, so there wasn't enough time, but there's certainly room for more exploration.

I absolutely loved the story! While it may not be entirely original, it carried a unique charm that kept me engaged. Kirie and Hatsune are truly what make this manga stand out among others in the same genre. The dynamic between the two main characters was incredibly entertaining! As a girl, I personally would love to have a friend as wonderful as Kirie! The artwork was stunning, and I adored the character designs. Overall, it was a quick, enjoyable, adorable, and light-hearted read, and I highly recommend it! <p>
