Kaoru-Kun To Hana No Mori

Tomboy.
I was a tomboy, just like the heroine of this manga.
Though unlike myself she was popular within her school and thought of as the 'Prince' of her all girls school.

She's completely clueless to the notice of romance, from the first few pages it's clear to see.
In my opinion it just makes her more interesting.

Two high schools are situated right beside each other. One all girls and the other all boys. Meaning these plenty of chance for meet Q's!
High school years are are filled with hormones and the excitement of 'falling in love'. The girls begin to confuse our cool Tomboy with those tough questions about romance and feelings.
Thankfully our heroine is easily distracted with helping the girls and the awkward questions of love are pushed aside.
She's observant though, she notices people and remembers them.
I like when other characters are surprised by the lead's... personality. Finding out how cool they really are, I especially like it when i'm also surprised.
As an experience shoujo manga reader there honestly isn't too much I haven't seen before. But when a scene is set up properly, and the right twists are made something done time and time again can still make your heart flutter and the excitement course through your veins!

A tall, weird and interesting girl, it's not long before she catches the eye of some guy/ In this case a short blonde playboy who can't seem to crack her. Right before he makes his move for a kiss a mysterious tall dark haired guy abruptly interrupts. DRAMA!
But before we can find out why the two slip away when a distraction is caused.
The girls and guys from each school are fighting.
Our leading lady comes up with a plan to make peace, it's a constant battle being a good girl!

High school is drama, especially when romance is involved.
Why do you think there are so manga stories based during school years! Free material from your youth!
Romance. It'll mess with you, confuse you and make every high and low feel world crushing.
For a girl who's always been seen as 'one of the guys' until she meets two men.

Both change her in separate ways but she grows through those experiences.

 

It's interesting how people say that love can make you more beautiful, well when it comes to shoujo manga that is certainly the case. With every new romantic experience out heroine becomes more and more irresistible!

Lovely story! <3
