5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, July 8, 2008

This review is from: High School Debut, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

The cover of this volume may be kind of ugly, but what's inside are some of the funniest chapters yet. First, Christmas is coming, and Haruna wants to give Yoh the perfect date. She gets really excited and starts to go overboard, and things don't turn out quite like she expected... Then, after Haruna gets her first kiss from Yoh, she starts freaking out every time she sees him. Yoh gets annoyed with this, and when Haruna sees him with her friend Mami, she assumes the two secretly like each other.

Volume 4 made me laugh a lot. Haruna is hilarious when she gets excited, and the other characters (especially the spoiled Asami) add their own kind of humor to the story. The plot moves along at a good pace, taking old ideas and putting new twists on them. The romance is also cute. Although Haruna definitely has the loudest personality, I've started to notice some of Yoh's quirks as well (like his embarrassed, sideways glance), and this makes it more engaging.

In short, this was a great volume, and the manga doesn't look like it's going to lose steam any time soon.

Yes! I've waited for this one for a while. I got to read some synopsis of the story, so I'm ahead a little. But it continues being a really great read and I am anticipating the next book every time one is published. This book deals with the lovely hurdle of a first kiss, and all the crazy emotions, rather litteraly in our heroine's case, that come with it.

Super cute, rather exagerated, and just a lot of fun. No cliffhanger to be afraid of, so it's a well rounded volume. I can't wait for the rest of the series to continue! Very satisfactory.
