Kare First Love is just another shoujo manga. I feel that while it does discuss topics that not many other manga do, I also feel that its lackluster leads drag the story down somewhat.

Story: I feel that the story is about average. It does discuss topics like dating older men and teen pregnancy and overbearing parents, and the characters play their parts well. I do feel that the story somewhat reaches a plateau for a little while in the middle. But overall it is a good story.

The real trouble I had with this series is the characters. The two leads are not compelling at ... all. Karin, our female protagonist changes very little from the beginning to the end of the work. As for the male protagonist, you hate him or love him. There is not real depth to them. I found the side characters to shine more, especially the character Nanri. Miyasaki-sensei put in so many shades to her character and really made her dynamic.

In short, read it if you are waiting for the release of something else, or if you're looking for something to do. Otherwise it's not really worth too much effort.

I started reading this with the impression that it would turn out to be a cute enjoyable manga to read, with the cool guy falling for the geeky girl. And it was for the first maybe 16 chapters.
But then I really couldn't help getting irritated...The story got stuck on one certain problem and I only got fed up with the main person Karin, and the story got stuck there for too long without moving on.
I think this story could suit those who don't mind cute innocent and a bit oblivious lead characters, but for me it all became to much.
Up to about chapter 16 it ... was a 7 but I lowered it to a 6 after I had finished it, cause this manga just didn't do it for me.
I like the art though but as I said the story should have moved on and not lingered too long at one place.
But then this is my opinion there eill be others who'll defenitly think the opposite of what I do.

Omg, STAY AWAY!
Seriously mannn I totally wasted half my life watching this crap T_T.
Well I wasted maybe an hour, so do yourself a favour and don't read this okay?

Like, the reason I read this was because it was on Mars' recommendation list (awesome manga you've probably read it? If not GO READ IT NOW!!!!!!).

Umm yeah what's the story about?
There's a hot guy and he's popular and a playboy and there's a plain girl who's shy or whatever.
Anyway they start to like each other but girl can't be with boy so she gets depressed and goes to a club gets wasted and almost gets raped. (She's ... 16 btw >.
