To be honest, I came here from watching the anime, thus I've never read Senryuu Shoujo manga before. My impression of the anime is not that good and I come to read the manga without a slightest bit of good expectation beforehand beside cheap reasons like "The Girl is Cute". But surprisingly, what I'm reading is something much.. much more than that. Welcome to my review of Senryuu Shoujo, I'll try my best to not spoil anything. Please enjoy the ride.

Story 8
Senryuu Shoujo is a story of a girl who cannot express her thought and talk it out like other people would normally do and a delinquent boy who got suddenly interested in Senryuu. The story is mostly about their pieces of daily life and expressing them in a form of 5-7-5 syllables Senryuu. Story wise it is not that complex that will twist your brain so don't judge this series from its story point of view if you like brain-twisting stories. But sure, it still has story progresses along the way, so don't worry about it.

Art 9
The art is cute and appealing. It is drawn in a simple slice of life style. It also emphasized more, wait.. I mean MORE in expressing Nanako's cuteness. So please be aware of your daily dosage of sugar and Nanako. Another thing is, it got what I'd like to call "Sakuga for manga" where certain panels is drawn in an "Illustration Level". To the level where you just have to put some color in it and it will be perfect.

Character 9
As stated in story part, Yukishiro Nanako is a quiet girl who can't express her words like people would normally do. And Busujima Eiji, the feared delinquent who have a cute gap of loving to write Senryuu.

The MCs are as simple as it is. Nanako the cinnamon roll that will trigger your "MUST PROTECT" instinct and will always and always put her big wide smile onto her face and you can't help but to smile with her. She is always happy when she is around Eiji and vice versa, Eiji will always be at ease while around her. Both of them doesn't have much friend beside each other, so you can guess... Their relationship is so simple yet so genuine, you can't help but asking if such a couple does exist in this world.

While the story is mainly focused on Nanako and Eiji. The side characters are entertaining as well. The prez... Oh the prez.. You know what? I'm gonna write my own "English 5-7-5" just to express my pity of her.

"The four leaved clover",
"Oh all human has it, but",
"Not our sweet lil' prez".

Does her luck really that bad? YES, it is that bad... If there is one word to describe her, I will choose "MVP". Yes.. The MVP.. You can't help but beg to God to give her a single luck in her life. Other characters are also good so you can check it out.

Enjoyment 10
The enjoyment I can feel from the series is as good as having to lay down on green grass field while breeze wind gently stroking your body. The series is so light, you don't have to put too much mind into it. The series is formatted in 4-koma style (four panels per individual story). It seems like too little but believe me, it felt like so much more than that. Just watching the characters interact with each other and having a good daily school life. Doing something funny and something dumb that will put a smile as big and wide as Nanako's while reading it.

What I wondered the most is that this is not a romance series, there isn't romance tag in its genre list, and yet all I can tell from reading it is that this is everything I could ask from a romantic series. A bittersweet interaction between two cute young teenagers who are literally a heaven-made pair. No matter what you think, they are destined to be together. Truly adorable and wholesome relationship you will see between them.

Btw, if your definition of romantic series is that of DomeKano. Then this is not for you boys. Get lost xD

Overall 10
If you want a simple read and a whole new level of wholesomeness that will put your stiff face to a big and wide smile and a series that will put warmth into your ice cold heart and soul. THIS IS FOR YOU. Do not ask anymore and give it a shot. In my opinion, the first 12 chapters should be enough to judge the series but I may urge you to go further if you find it to your liking.

That's it for my review. Well.. My FIRST REVIEW in MAL. Thanks if you read every single word of it. Sorry if it's too long and not too helpful but I really want people to experience what I've had from the series. See ya.
