Love Com-Manga Series


Rating: 4 Stars

Genre: Romantic Comedy Manga

Release Date: Series Ongoing


About the Series: Risa is the tallest girl in class and Otani is the shortest guy. Everyone thinks it's hilarious to pair them up together, but they hate it. When they need each other's help to hopefully win over some crushes, they decide to forget the fighting and work together. This starts an unlikely friendship between the mismatched duo. Everyone around them thinks Risa and Otani are a perfect pair, but when will they finally see that?

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: When I started working with teens a little over a year ago, one of the first things I knew I had to do was start reading manga. Since I'm usually drawn to romance and fun, I of course ended up picking up romancey and fun manga! This series continually cracks me up and I love the friendship (and hopefully relationship) of Risa and Otani. Every volume I've read adds more to the story and I've never thought the story got stale. Even if you're not a fan of manga, this is one series worth checking out. Also, if you get a chance, Netflix the live action movie. It does a great job bringing the manga to life!

    I have never read any manga but this sounds really cute, and like something i could relate to. I was the freakishly tall girl in hs!

    I love manga. Especially cute, well-drawn manga with awesome love stories (they dont even have to be realistic!). Have you read Absolute Boyfriend by Yuu Watase?

    I'm always overwhelmed at the manga section of the library and bookstore! There's so many to choose from!

    This sounds like a fun series. What other mangas do you recommend?

    Hey Cecilia-Like I mentioned, I really like the romance stuff, so I really enjoyed Absolute Boyfriend (it' a short series) and I really like Sand Chronicles just because it does a good job of weaving the characters lives together. I also really enjoyed Mark Criley's Miki Falls series which is another short series.

13 District Mockingjay Tour: District 4

Hello and welcome to District Four. I'm sorry that Finnick isn't here to be your host. I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where ...
