Strawberries anyone?

Good day everyone! Today I'm gonna promote give a biased review on one of my favorite mangas of all time:

Ichigo 100% by Mizuki Kawashita

 


Ichigo 100% or Strawberry 100% is a manga about the school days of a young boy who aspires to be a successful director. He is a typical loser who is always end up in numerous embarrassing (often involves girls) until one day he decides to take a view at the school rooftop only to find a girl wearing *sigh* strawberry panties. He has then decided to start his conquest to find the mysterious girl. Intriguing huh?

Ecchi-ness aside, Ichigo 100% surprisingly succeeded in capturing my heart, not only with the characters' personalities but with the story as well.

Ichigo 100% is a typical harem manga with a loser hero who aspires for something high while he goes on with his lucky life surrounded by his love interests. There is an innocent nerd who aspires to be a writer, the campus crush, the aggressive-type girl whom he had a cat-dog relationship, and the little sister childhood friend. And of course, one of them is the strawberry panties girl and the girl whom he'll spend his life with forever (I guess).

I'm proud to say that this manga made me shed my tears and gave me a strong reasoning with love. Having experienced heartbreaks myself, *sob* I can relate myself on the way the characters portray their love stories and struggles as the plot moves on.

I shall never waste the opportunity to re-read the whole manga again whenever I had the chance. I want to relieve the suspense, the silent smiles, the laughter, and the very teenage feel I shared with this manga the first time I read this. If you love reading romances with a little bit of comedy, set in a high school theme, then this is definitely a must read for you. You'll never get tired of the characters with their personality developments, and with the beautiful girls this manga has in store for you :)
