An amazing and funny manga that I absolutely recommend

Key words: manga, anime, convention, romance, humour

VOLUME 1
At first, I really wasn’t sure about this manga. When I looked at the cover, I thought the style didn’t really matched mine. What a waste it would have been. I absolutely loved it. This kind of manga gives me so much energy, I love it. It was so funny and cute. I was right about the style; I didn’t love it but I enjoyed it. It’s just that the characters’ body is not proportionate in the usual cute way, the faces for example are longer and the eyes are a bit too spaced. This didn’t prevent me from enjoying the story though. It conveys the message that even though you think you love someone, you shouldn’t let them get away with everything, especially if that hurts you. It may be difficult to let it go but it is always worth it and you will find something better in the future. I recommend this manga and will now read the second volume.
4/5

VOLUME 2
This second volume was almost better than the first one. It was a bit les cute in that there was less romance in this volume than in the first one but the main character got more developed I think. The story had a bit more depth too, talking about the career of mangaka, manga and the struggle with making it. I enjoyed Bethany a lot, she was so mature and passionate, and this manga is still full of humour. I don’t have much to say about that one, except that you should read it.

VOLUME 3
This was a very nice last manga. I am glad we got to see Matt a lot more than in the last volume. The romance was just so cute, I finished this one really quickly, maybe to quickly. I also enjoyed Bethany’s story a lot, when she is finally ready to reveal her love for art to her mother. I am thankful for the ending, but still wish there was a fourth volume after. The short story at the end, from the point of view of Matt was so cute, a bit cheesy maybe but it made me smile so much.

This ultimate edition to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Dramacon will be out on the 15th of September.
