This week for Shoujo Saturday I’m covering a series I read a while back. It’s 3D Kanojo by Nanami Mao!

Plot Synopsis: Tsutsui Hikari is an otaku, and he mostly avoids social life. Hikari has only one friend at school, who is also a social misfit, and he is mocked brutally by most of his classmates for being creepy and weird. One day, he ends up having to clean the school pool with Igarashi Iroha, who appears to be pretty much everything he hates in real-life girls. She skips school, has a blunt manner, doesn’t have female friends, and seems the sort to be promiscuous. However, she is friendly to Hikari, and even stands up to the people who make fun of him.

Plot: The plot is cliche’d but well done. I won’t spoil things as the way their relationship develops is pretty good.

Character: Hikari actually annoys me sometimes, because he’s just either being willfully stubborn or being an idiot. Iroha is a much better lead than Hikari and the rest of the cast is pretty good, especially Hikari’s best friend who’s name escapes me at the moment.

Art: The art is great, and feels unique to me although it’s probably not all that unique.

Overall: If you want a good romance series, try this out.

For those who like: Romance, Drama, Slice of Life series.

Not for those who don’t like: Any of the above.
