Also super cute, and a huge gay awakening. I love the little twist at the end. The artwork is so cute, but also really funny. It's a great first volume, to set up the romance between Ida and Aoki, but also the friendship between Hashimoto and Aoki. I feel like it's slightly relatable, because this is literally how I found out I was pan, I thought I had a crush on a boy in my class, then I realized I had a crush on his crush. But yeah, it's super cute and easy to read.

I loved this! They are so cute and green flags are waving. It's also nice to see something poke fun at the social construct of virginity and that it's nothing to be ashamed of. I also love the side story with his friend, and I feel a side couple brewing.

I really liked this, the artwork is pretty good. I think it's a good first volume, and it's definitely as weird as people have been saying it is. But I do like it, I also like how the characters are older in this and aren't 14/15, like Future Diary and Call of the Night is about that age range. Since I am almost 17, I feel weird reading topics younger than me, even if I'm not that much older. And especially if it deals with sexual topics. But that aside, this is at the top.

This was better than I expected. I'm a big fan of vampire stories, I mean my favorite movie is The Lost Boys, and I grew up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was pretty different and I think that's a good thing. I was kind of scared since a lot of Vampire tropes lean into the sexual side, and I may sound like a hypocrite, but it's the way someone does it. Like Silver Under Nightfall is an adult book with adult themes, but I loved the way the "spice" was written, it wasn't vulgar. I like first Future Diary, because at least in the first volume, the sexual nature wasn't vulgar to me...I know it might change, but that's how I view the first one.

Now with this, it was technically sexual...but it kind of seems like it's poking fun at the genre and twisting it to their own way. And this was kind of funny, it was humorous while having a somewhat serious topic. I do wish he was older, but oh well, he's a fun MC to follow.

Definitely better than volume 12, I like the new characters, she seems interesting. It's a solid volume, honestly not much to say here for me

Really weird, I was worried because it begins wither her sleeping with her teacher...ew. Same for her...friend? I can definitely tell it's a mindfuck type of series. So far Future Diary is 1st, so we'll see

Edit: I'm changing my rating to a 2.5, because now that I think of it...it's not that good and I didn't enjoy a huge chunk of it.

I liked it, the art style isn't my favorite, but I still like it. Obviously, it's the first volume...it's not amazing. I will continue, because I've been wanting to watch/read Future Diary for a couple years now...so, I won't turn back now. This is also a part of my challenge to read the first volumes to manga's and pick which ones I'll continue with first...if that made sense.
