Lets talk about mangas: Introducing...Watashi ni XX Shinasai!

Hello everyone! So...I'm back with a manga I have been reading for, like, a year or less that have not, so far, been removed at my "Fave Mangas" List and I doubt would ever be removed. I've been willing to share and introduce this manga to you all but I just can't seem to get the time. (T^T)
And now, finally, I've got the chance and time to introduce it to all of you!!! Whoopee! *\(^o^)/*


Introducing, Watashi ni XX Shinasai! [that I always read with wah at the end so it sounds like watashi NI xx shinaSAI wah!]


So, without further ado, I'll start with the blurb or manga summary or whatever they call it. [Feel free to tellme what that is 'cause the question is still raised. (^^)]


FromMangaHere.com--In class, she's a sort of zoned-out girl, and he's the year one class' most perfect, good-looking guy. But the two of them have a secret, and their extraordinary "love experience" will start now! Himuro Yukina, known as the "Absolute Zero Snow-woman" is a cold and observant girl. In addition, she is actually a popular cell phone novelist who goes by the name of Yupina. Sadly, with no other human contact than her cousin, Yukina is unable to express more romance in her novels. Kitami Shigure, your so-called "typical bishounen", who is really a womanizer, has fallen into Yukina's trap when she blackmails him, and Shigure ends up doing Yukina's ''missions of love''. As this continue, will these ''missions'' be a opportunity for them to fall in love?


SO! Let's start talking about the characters.
There are four regular/main characters in this story so far:
Yukina--The main protagonist of the story. She has a long hair and wears eyeglasses. Yukina is observant and clever alright, but her knowledge in love and those stuffs is quite shallow and she tends to be so innocent in what she does that makes people--partiularly speaking, Shigure--react overconsciously. She has a first love that has connection with her wearing glasses [I'll leave the gory details to you so read. :P] and she has a knack for writing although the element of love is simply not applied in her earlier stories--like my sister's.


Shigure--One of the main male character in the story and one of Yukina's possible lover. At first you might think he's that typical cool, smart and handsome guy that's so popular in anime and manga high school settings but he's actually that mean, stubborn, easily-blushes-when-with-crush, predictably predictable guy in anime and manga that I love more--his teasing personality is a bonus, btw. He is kind in some ways but he's stubborn personality is what my heart flutters for him much. WEEEEEE. [though, I'm still a solid Kazehaya lover.]


Akira--One of the main male character in the story and Yukina's cousin and possible lover. He's seen with his eyes covered by his long fringe and has some girly movements. I'd say that melon pan is his signature accesory--information for those who wants to cosplay him though I doubt a wee bit. I'm not really into Akira here, but I could fairly say that his covered eyes is pretty hot in some time and angle in the manga. Another thing that I like about him is his involvement with the second female main character and my pairing with each other. [Don't blame me. I just can't help seeing subtle clues.\\ (w>o<w)//]


Mami--The second female main character who is a childhood friend of--and has a crush on--Shigure. She's your typical happy-go-lucky-with-a-tad-bit-mysteriousness-girl of the story.


My humble opinions/theories resulting from observation and reading:

  • Shigure and Yukina is definitely going to be a couple. Argue all you want, AkiraxYukina lovers but you can't stop the evitable. I think you'll just waste your time arguing the obvious. Don't get mad 'cause I know how you feel when the love team you want did not end up together--although I'm voting for ShigurexYukina.
  • Akira and Mami is on some new development recently and I anticipate where this development would end up with or where it would NOT end up with. I just hope it's on the "end up with" direction.
  • Dulce [you'll know who he/she is if you read the manga so read.] is either Mami or some new character and finding out who he/she is is something I, too, will anticipate.
Why do I like this manga?

It's a very unique story for a manga. Sure, the regular cliche is there but the bends and twists this manga has is such a page-turner and every chapter is made to make you anticipate the next one. The current chapter--chapter 39-- for instance, is very very very...oh, my gashes. I want to read the next chapter already!!!
Ahem. So anyway back to where I was, chapter 39 (must calm down...calm down, myself...calm...down...) is in such a thrill that you seem to want the next chapter there right now.
Also, the way the author does the story is quite interesting: She seems to have the whole plot set out and is evenly distributing them into chapters that when you're done in the recent update, you'd want to read more. I also observe that the scanlation's way of updating the manga by month to make readers anticipate the next and not loose the updates is pretty wise, if you know what I mean.

Why do you have to read this manga?

Like I said, it's a breath of fresh air, shoujo manga-wise. The plot is unique and beautifully made to make shoujo manga readers anticipate every next chapter. Each chapter has its own twists and turns and new development and progression but it doesn't move away from the direction of the main plot and I love it. The characters themselves has a tad bit mysteriousness in them that we could relate much and are in some way predictable and other way unpredictable. The element of romance is widely observed and present and the splash of Japanese comedy is obviously existing.

Aside from the story behind Yukina's glasses and who Dulce is, there are a lot of things that a shoujo manga or romance or romance-comedy or shoujo-romance-comedy lover would love in this manga and the few things I have mentioned are just...well, few.

 So...try and, for the third time, read it.

Ta for now...
