Publisher's Description Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine...for a horror movie. With her jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor, she's often mistaken for Sadako, the haunting character from Ringu. Unbeknownst to but a few, behind her scary façade is a very misunderstood teenager. Shy and pure of heart, she just wants to make friends. But when Kazehaya, the most popular boy in class, befriends her, she's sure to make more than just that--she's about to make some enemies too!.

Why I Picked it up: The cover art looked good. The slice of life style of manga is enjoyable. Also that is not perfect but want to make friends. 

Why I finished it: The story thus far is fun and light, but still has depth to it. It is a fun read and you want to find out more. 



Who I would give it to: Someone who wants a look inside an outsider life.

Why I Picked it up: The cover art looked good and I was looking for something different . This is has action, romance and magic. But the greatest things this manga talks about is friendship. 

Why I finished it: The story hit on everything form lose of friends, loved ones, parents. It tlks about the bounds between people and how they are formed. these bounds are what give you strength.  So...yeah. I kinda love the series. 



Who I would give it to: It is good pick for people who liked Inuyaha and Naruto. it will also be a nice break from those as well.
