This review is from: Confidential Confessions, Book 3 (Paperback)
The Confidential Confessions Series is something that every girl or woman should read, manga reader or hater alike. Reiko Momochi has really captured the emotions and degree of each crisis for each character in the series, from dealing with drugs to escape problems, to dealing with sexual harassment from a teacher.
You feel for the each girl in each story, weather its anger for what you feel is a stupid solution for the situation, to sadness because nothing can be done. And with each situation comes a change in the characters involved, it being good or bad depending on what they hold dear. The atmosphere my be a bit dark, but it adds to the seriousness of the situation. But with the darkness is light, in some form or another.
I highly recommend this manga to anyone who wants to read something that can hit close to home.

Gripping manga, August 21, 2011
This review is from: Confidential Confessions, Book 3 (Paperback)
Confidential Confessions is not always easy to read, especially because not all of the endings are happy ones. But that is what made this manga more real. This one talks about drug abuse and why some kids start on drugs. In Japan, the school system is strict and high-pressure, and when your parents add to it, it only makes the situation worse, making drugs seem like a lovely refuge.

Love it, April 28, 2011
This review is from: Confidential Confessions, Book 3 (Paperback)
I absolutely love this series. Momochi tackles head-on many issues that are rarely addressed, and does so in a way that does not come across as preachy or full of NARM. This is one of my favourite series and I recommend it to anyone interested in these kinds of stories.
