About the author

Ai Yazawa (Japanese: 矢沢あい, Yazawa Ai) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator. Her pen name comes from singer Eikichi Yazawa, of whom she is a fan.
Yazawa started her comics career in 1985. She specialises in shojo manga (girls' comics). Most of her works have been serialised in the magazines 'Ribon', 'Cookie' and 'Zipper'.
Yazawa's stories focus on young, often rebellious women and their relationships. The characters are always very stylish, and Yazawa herself is known for her sense of fashion. (She even attended a fashion school for some time after high school.)
Among her most famous manga are Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai (I'm No Angel, 1992–1995), Neighborhood Story (1995-1998), Paradise Kiss (1999-2004), and Nana (2000-2009), the latter awarded a Shogakukan Manga Award in 2003. Some of these works have been adapted into anime and live action movies.

Obiektywnie rzecz biorąc jest to raczej standardowa manga shoujo dla młodszych czytelników, ale ma już w sobie to coś, za co pokochałem późniejsze mangi Yazawy. 3,5 z zaokrągleniem w górę.

Version française traduite n’importe comment mais l’histoire et les outfits de Mikako sont tellement top-notch qu’on passe ça sous le tapis

Of course, the manga only gets better as the series continues on. Every character will capture your heart and your full attention. Their inner struggles and their difficulty to cope outwardly will have you rooting for every single one of them. Yazawa has a talent for making you feel sympathy for every one of the characters, even when you don't really like them. All the crazy events of these high schoolers' lives are extremely well captured and worth reading. Yazawa will make you enjoy every single moment of it.

いつも通りかわいいイラスト。あまり何にも大したことが起こらないお話だけど、なんとなくおもしろい。実果子の性格もちょっとおかしいけどチャーミングで好き。
