Ohhh boy where do I begin...? First off, this is not a bad manga. If you compare it to your average shoujo romance where the two main characters have a misunderstanding that leads to a break up that leads to millions of chapters where I try not to yell at these silly teenagers for being ridiculous, then B.O.D.Y. is actually one of the nicest shoujo I have read so far. STORY 7/10 Again, it's a shoujo manga so the most I could be was pleasantly surprised by the story - I know a lot of people like drama drama drama, but so many times that leads to ridiculousmisunderstandings that could easily be solved if the two mains just Talked To Each Other And Stopped Making Assumptions Based On Their Insecurites.
B.O.D.Y. was a nice change of pace. At first I thought I wasn't gonna like where it was going - I was fully prepared for a ditzy girl who falls in love with a seemingly boring guy who then is revealed to be a flirty non-committal host. More on the characters later though as this is for the most part a character-driven story.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous~!

CHARACTER 9/10

Now time to really confess.
The two leads, Fuji and Sakura (and I know this might be a bit hard to believe as this is shoujo) ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE AND AVOID FRUSTRATING MISUNDERSTANDINGS. Take that Bokura gaita!!! >.<

They both are still insecure and innocent - the latter is less so for Fuji - but it wasn't so overwhelming that I couldn't finish the story just from how convoluted and boring a temporary break up has the potential to be.
Having a misunderstanding created out of nothing, followed by the main guy LI coldly telling the girl they should break up without actually discussing anything beforehand is a trope that will make me drop a manga immediately.
Thankfully the characters in B.O.D.Y. were its saving grace.

Sakura is straightforward, easy to read, and for the most part very honest. She also isn't insecure to the point where she has zero trust in her beau. When she's conflicted about something, Fuji can figure her out pretty easily and before you know it they've discussed and resolved an issue that a lesser manga would have dragged out for another ten chapters.
It was very satisfying to read about a couple with an actual good relationship where they TRUST EACH OTHER and that trust isn't conveniently thrown away for plot purposes.

They still have arguments, and there are even misunderstandings but nothing was ever overused to the point it was frustrating to read.
Plus, the side characters AKA the friend group was very good. There was a small conflict between Sakura and Asuka, but asides from that Sakura's friends are very supportive.

Enjoyment 9/10

So I got to chapter 12 and I realized that rather than me just having started reading this as a way to procrastinate, I was genuinely enjoying reading it. I enjoyed the light humour, the same romance story that we've read so many times but with different characters, and especially the main leads who I didn't at any point during my reading yell at.
I enjoyed the ending, it was cute and I'm always a big fan of time skips - I like seeing everyone's 'happy ending' or whatever.
I really want more characters like Fuji and Sakura >.<

OVERALL 9/10

I'm just gonna end up going off again about how much I liked Fuji and Sakura's relationship so I'll stop here. Definitely a manga that you shouldn't overlook ^^
