Black Coffee · review
PLOT: Sentaro and Kurashima are childhood friends, the former being very popular at school... the later, not so much. But Kurashima has a secret that might change that, what will Sentaro do when he founds out? Although not a very original story, I found entertaining this love/hate interaction between the protagonists and kept flipping pages to see how it was gonna end. CHARACTERS: I started reading thinking Sentaro is your typical playboy mc and Akari, your typical gloomy glasses girl mc. To me, the characters seem to be acting on a whim and looked shallow for the most part BUT appareances might be deceving... and that iswhat this manga is about.
ART: Nice character design, above average for a shoujo manga. The mangaka does a great job conveying the characters' emotions through their facial expressions, gestures, etc. The panel composition is very dinamic.
ENJOYMENT: Kept me hooked until the end. Not a master piece but I think something every shoujo fan will enjoy.
