After her politician father is disgraced in scandal, Haruna Aizawa transfers to a new school.

She even meets a boy named Masaru who reminds her of a baby monkey!

5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of first love., July 12, 2008

This review is from: Monkey High!, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

While it is sometimes cute to see the main characters silly antics while they try to get together, waiting over 8 volumes or more to finally confess their love is very annoying.

This is not the case in Monkey High, or Saruyama in Japanese. This Is the story of Haruna and Macharu's relationship. the ups and downs and difficulties and embarrassments of High School love.

In this Volume, Haruna's jaded personality has change a little, and is all thanks to Macharu. The couple have to deal with their first date, a quiz contest and the return of Haruna's dad. This volume is better than the second one for sure.

Macharu is not the the tall, sexy bishounen, but I will chose him over any sexy guy anytime.
