Manga i

is pretty short, only about 19 chapters from start to finish, but I think it manages to pack in a lot of interesting story and art that held me pretty well. To its credit, I think this is probably one of the only manga I have read so far where the internet played an integral role in the story. This allows it to create a great conversation surrounding the nature of friendship when it comes to reality vs the internet. By including this, also takes a look at the differences and conflicts that can arise between online personas and real-life personalities. Combine this with some great and expressive art, and you have a pretty solid series that I think only really has a few minor flaws.

is a sweet manga about high school romance and self-discovery that focuses on the relationship between one girl’s online friends and her desire for real-life friends. Through a building of self-confidence, she creates connections with other people and in-turn supports those around her. The art is strong, the page layout allows for some great spreads and splashes for impact, and story is fairly engaging. I would call this a good easy read for people looking for something short and uncomplicated to pick up.
