Review for Tonari no Furi-san ga Tonikaku Kowai, Vol. 1

Tonari no Furi-san ga Tonikaku Kowai, Vol. 1 , Kinoue Seiichi, Manga, Humour, Misunderstandings, Romance, FriendshipA hilarious manga about a girl who looks like a delinquent (but is actually very sweet and loves cute things and is a sweetheart with taking care of her younger brother) falling in love with her classmate.

I was searching for something new to read and I bumped into this manga. Of course I had to read it.

So we have a girl who has fallen hard for a cute boy in her class. Now you may think this is going to end up well, but the girl just has a hard time expressing herself (both in smiling and in talking) and with her appearance.. well the guy just thinks she is about to bully him. While we as the reader (and later on also two other people in the manga) see that she is just swooning hard for him. One time he touched her hand and she went into that mode that made him think he did something wrong. NO guy, she is just so hyped! The manga is filled with tons of misunderstandings, often funny, though at times I would just like to see Taira see that Furi hasn’t done anything bad and understand that she is a good girl.

I loved reading about other characters as well and that as the story progressed we get to learn new characters. The guy at the manga/anime club took some getting used to, he was just your stereotypical otaku guy (to the point I just found it a bit harmful), but in the end he became one of the biggest supporters of the TairaxFuri ship. Haha. Helping her out at times, giving her hints. I started to really like him.

I loved that nearer to the end of the volume you saw that the guy was also getting closer to her and I was just so happy with that! I am glad he is slowly accepting that she may not be as scary as she at times looks/acts.

The art was really fun, I really love the style. I also love how the mangaka was able to capture all reactions (both Taira and Furi) to pefection.

All in all, I need to continue reading this one as it was just too fun and I just need more. I want these two to get together!

Star rating, 4 stars
