Strobe Edge

A couple of days ago I finished reading a manga, called "Strobe Edge" and I really got into it. It's by Io Sakisaka.


The story revolves around the 15-year-old Ninako Kinoshita. She is very clumsy but cute and kind. She doesn't really know what love is. Her friends think that Ninako and her childhood friend Daiki are meant to be. Moreover, Daiki likes her very much. However, Ninako falls in love with the cool Ren Ichinose when she meets him on the train home. He is the most popular boy at school and almost every girl has a crush on him. But Ren is already in a relationship.


Ninako and Ren grow closer but Ninako can't stop loving him. Also there is Ando who falls in love with Ninako and he was Ren's middleschool friend, so the things get more complicated for Ninako.
The story deals not only with Ninako's feelings, but also with the relationships between the other characters.


This manga is absolutely made for teenage girls. Though I'm not a teenager anymore, I like it as well. It's so sweet and heartwarming. If you are a teenager, it may give you some good life lessons - to be true to yourself and to your feelings no matter what. But if you are a grown-up, you can also read it, because it is so cute and touching. And it's really easy to read, if you need to relax.

  

But if you look for something super clever and filled with deep philosophy ... well, this manga certainly isn't for you. It's very simple and emotional, and more daily life oriented.
