Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu is a shojo manga through and through. There were some parts of it that were really good, and some that were kinda bad. Overall, though, this is a good manga that is worth the read if you are into typical shojo mangas.

The story for this manga is plain and simple. It being a traditional high school love story, you get what you anticipate with this one. It can be extremely predictable at times, but realistically, you don't usually read a shojo to be surprised. The story had a good flow and ends well, without leaving any loose ends, like some manga and anime often do.

The art is great. The characters are drawn well and the hair is beautifully rendered (which means something in a manga with a plot point around hair and hair styling).

The characters are probably my biggest love/hate part of this story. Hibino has an interesting personality, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. And Kyouta has an odd personality, which also isn't a bad thing. But together, they doubt one another and pointlessly feel certain ways that are completely geared to cause story drama. It can feel repetitive and cause you to care less for both of them at a certain point because it seems like they never learn from their previous mistakes. They are not terrible characters, but with that drama being a huge part of the story arcs, it can make them less enjoyable.

Overall, I did enjoy this manga, regardless of the character flaws. I don't think I would ever read this manga again (mostly due to the length) but I would recommend it to someone who loves drama filled shojo manga with cute main characters.
