My favourite manga, no doubts!
Okay first things first. Ai Yazawa herself is one of my favourite mangaka, she just has this way of quite perfectly depict very human and complex characters in ordinary yet special stories. The stories are very normal but super interesting and easy to relate to! Paradise kiss is my current (and has been for about 2-3 years) manga of her, if it's my actual favourite manga of all I've read? The story revolves around 18 year old Yukari Hayasaka who is in her last year of high school and is pretty much flunking it...(tell me that someone else than me just feel/felt connected to her with just that!). She accidentally runs into some senior students of a design high school that asks her to model for their senior fashion show. Initially she sees them as a burden and look down upon them, for not studing something more ''serious'' like a lot of people around her. How ever after a while these students passion for what they love doesn't seem so stupid to Yukari
