Manga 91514 Kishuku Gakkou No Juliet

Well, I usually don't read manga, because I think or at least I thought they weren't to be compared with anime. But, Kaneda Yousuke made me think otherwise.

I just watched the anime, so the story seemed interesting, though I was surprised to see only the first ~18 chapters were adapted in a one cour anime. So I decided to give the manga a try, since the manga seemed to have so many things left to tell.

So here it started, marathoning the chapters, I just fell in love with the characters, the carefulness with which they were drawn and the high level of details, top tier ... quality. Their daily routine and how the characters slowly built their relations, growing closer with each chapter passing by, passed all those feelings onward to me, also making me grow closer to them. Such a magic feat is not easy to do, never thought I would love a manga this much, I guess this was only made possible by the author hard-work and I respect that.

As I said before, my enjoyment exceeded any level, the ending was great, nothing else I could ask for, so as a overall rating, it's obviously a Masterpiece, a 10/10.

Recommended!

Boarding School Juliet

If anyone asks for Manga recommendations, this one will definitely be up in my list. It had me laughing in tears from all the funny characters, sitting on the edge of my seat from all the intense moments, and most importantly, had me smiling at the beautiful love story of Romio and Juliet. I have only recently started reading manga (the list in my profile is incomplete though). However, after finishing Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet, I suddenly found myself craving for more. I'd like to believe that Shakepspeare himself would be proud of this.

I only wish it were a bit longer, but nonetheless, ... it was a total masterpiece. There is no reason to not read this piece of art.

This manga is amazing; I loved it. The modern take of Romeo & Juliet was super intriguing (although not as much as the Leonardo DiCaprio movie), and I ended up loving it. The ending ended up being about 95% fulfilling for me; not many manga have great endings. The humor is at times hilarious and at times bitterly unfunny (aka "funny" perverted situations), but in my case this can be easily overlooked.

It's pretty fast-paced for a manga of its length, and not exactly a slow build of romance. Personally, I ended up liking the side characters more than the main characters. It's a problem ... that I think most manga of this kind end up with, where there's only so many ways you can make romance intriguing, so you have to rely on side characters to intervene, or even make them into the main characters for a bit. I know that there's some people who hate side characters and just want to see main characters, though, and I understand that. I'd much rather see side characters than see the same blushing or love triangle situation for the 100th time.

Here's my ratings, first number is my rating, second number is my expected rating for the average person.
