Although Kira tries to ignore him since she doesn’t want to get mixed up in anything, the two end up becoming friends because of her drawing. At the start of the next semester, they end up sitting next to each other. Kira wordlessly makes a sketch without realizing one of her other art pieces is on the other side. The manga opens with Rei asking Kira, who was drawing in the park, for directions to the hospital. Rei, however, is very friendly - a bit too friendly with girls, in fact. Kira is hardly a genki girl in fact, she’s a quiet loner, finding it easier to be considered a weirdo than deal with the world. MARS has all of these elements, although maybe not in the way you are used to. And usually the girl falls in love pretty fast, and then readers follow along on her attempts to win him over and then maybe the couple’s dating life. In shoujo manga, it’s usually a cheerful, emotionally expressive girl and an aloof, tsundere guy. ![]() Most romances in shoujo manga (and often fiction as a whole) star a pair of opposites. But I keep revisiting it because it’s just so good. ![]() I will always have a soft spot for MARS since it was one of the key series that got me hooked on manga. Although she expects that will be the end of any interaction between the two of them, when Rei compliments her drawing, the two form a rather unusual friendship - and maybe something more. Kira knows of Rei’s unsavory behaviors, but she sketches a quick map and dashes off without saying a word. Kira, a quiet girl with a love for art, is taken aback when the most popular guy in school suddenly asks for directions. Shoujo – Drama, psychological, romance, slice-of-life
