Lovesick Ellie 1

Product Information

Eriko is so used to being invisible that she doesn't know how to act when Ohmi-kun starts paying attention to her (and it doesn't help that's he's fairly emotionally stunted himself, haha). She's SO WEIRD and I love it. She makes a friend in this volume and the reason the girl reaches out to her sounds EXACTLY like something I'd have done in high school. Both of them have much character development throughout the manga and they learn to accept themselves for who they are and learn to open up to people without the fear of being judged. First, they think that no one understands their struggle, but then they learn, that that’s not the case. They give each other confidence as the Romance Manga progresses and help each other grow.

AAAGHHHH!!! I just finished this amazing manga. It was everything. When I just started reading I san't too sure I will like it, the whole part with her tweets just seemed dumb and characters personalities didn't look like anything could work out, but then... I am happy to add this to my reading manga pile. The ending has me curious for the next instalment. I definitely recommend it if you love shoujo romance with charming characters and great character development. I can tell there is so much more to come and I’m all for it.

Manga Review: Koiwazurai no Ellie aka Lovesick Ellie Shoujo Manga Review: Koiwazurai no Ellie aka Lovesick Ellie

Well, this was a new one for me. My first time reading a shojo manga without having seen it in anime form (I don't believe this one has an anime adaptation). This is certainly not what I usually read, but given that growing-up I would try to watch any anime I came across which would include shojo (I was a part of that original Toonami generation that got exposed to Sailor Moon along side Dragon Ball Z. I was not as attracted to the shojo feminine stuff as I was the shonen masculine stuff, but I was always appreciative of a good story. Also, I was immediately a fan of the works of Makoto Shinkai which is technically shojo (the way Hayao Miyazaki is technically shonen). I'll watch shojo anime if it is real funny or funny and cleaver (I'm thinking of Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1 or Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Vol. 1). Or by Makoto Shinkai. Now-a-days, I prefer my manga and anime seinien more than anything (you non-anime manga people are just going to be lost for this review), but I brought this manga randomly on sale from Comixology so lets read! Ichimura Eriko is an unpopular girl who loves to fantasize about things – mostly about one boy. His name is Akira Ohmi and due to his polite and kind personality, he is extremely popular at the school they both go to. With her alter ego she repeatedly tweets about him and their non-existent relationship.Thank you so much to the publishing company, Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for providing me with a copy!!! Despite his popularity, Ohmi has similar difficulties with communicating, so he and Eriko work together well, especially once they start casually dating. It would be cool if the heat and chemistry between them percolated in tune with their growing more comfortable dealing with each other. We'll see! (Am I asking too much?)
