desertcart.com: Honey So Sweet, Vol. 1: 9781421583259: Meguro, Amu: Books Review: satisfied shojo manga lover - Honey So Sweet 1 was a cute and charming introduction to this new series. I can tell that Amu Meguro has put a lot of heart and effort into this first book. Nao Kogure is the main character and through an act of selfless kindness during middle school, has captured the heart of “delinquent” Taiga Onise. The two encounter each other again in high school and Taiga asks her to date him with marriage in mind. For me (and I may be incorrect), this translates to him wanting to be in a steady relationship with her. Nao accepts primarily through fear. Taiga comes off as a scary troublemaker to people but he’s really a sweetie pie. Nao’s relationship with her young uncle (who is also her guardian) is quite touching and may be kind of weird to some people because she is in love with him. I think her love for him is not the kind you would feel for a lover, which I’m sure she will truly realize as the series progresses. The heartbreak from the loss of one’s parents at such a young age is incredibly devastating and Nao’s uncle does his absolute best to protect and care for her. He gives her good advice about Taiga by telling her to not listen to rumors from other people and actually get to know him. He may turn out to be a good person. I concur! I think this is good advice that anyone can take. The art style is beautiful and well done. I find the characters to be interesting and I can’t wait for their backstories to unfold. I am looking forward to reading more from this series! Review: a sweet manga about looking past the surface - After a chance encounter in the rain, Kogure is approached by a scary looking "delinquent" at school, Onise. But when he gives her a bouquet of flowers and asks to date her, with marriage in mind, she doesn't know what to think! A sweet, heartfelt start to this series, about looking past first appearances.

a sweet manga about looking past the surface
After a chance encounter in the rain, Kogure is approached by a scary looking "delinquent" at school, Onise. But when he gives her a bouquet of flowers and asks to date her, with marriage in mind, she doesn't know what to think! A sweet, heartfelt start to this series, about looking past first appearances.

So cute!
I love the dynamic Meguro-Sensei used in this one. It was playful and bright. The art reflected that as well. I can't wait for the next volume.

Love the artwork...
I love the artwork and the storyline is nice. The story has a kind of Kimi Ni Todoke feel to it.. very warm and cute! The manga came in very good condition as well.

Love Onise!
This series is the cutest thing ever. If you like romance manga, you've got to read this. One of my all time favorites. I love Onise!!!

Meh... The plot was pretty boring and the main character, Onise, is sooooo perfect that... I don't know how to explain it... he's so perfect that I don't want to read about such perfection. I mean, since he's so perfect there's no room for improvement for him. Kogure is your normal shōjo girl. Nothing interesting in her, as well. I quite like the art, though. It's not the usual shōjo style. I'll drop the series with no regrets.

This quickly became one of my favourites and I've read about 5 volumes now. The two main characters are incredibly sweet and sincere. I think their relationship is very pure and delightful. The side characters are also quite likable the more you get to know them. I am so excited to see how this ends.

Es un manga en el que la protagonista tiene que aprender a no juzgar al protagonista masculino por su apariencia de malandrín. Como manga es muy tierno y, para variar la formula, es el varón el que tiene que enamorar a la protagonista.

I love this story! It’s about a girl who ends up dating a yanki. It’s such a cute story I can’t wait to get more of it! The art is amazing but the writing is a little repetitive as in using the same word over and over again. I thought it might have been because of the translation but the Japanese version as well. But as the story goes no the waiting also gets better. In short this is a great romance story that I would recommend if you love cheesey love story’s and if your looking for something new to read or something to read in between big series.
