Today, I would like to introduce a manga Ichigo 100%. I don't know how many people of you know about it. However, it is a very popular manga in about 5 to 6 years ago. Aya Toujou and Tsukasa Nishino, who is the most perfect girls in the manga is always being a widely discussed topic in the comics fans . Even today, many people who have read the manga still have a deep emotion in it, and they hardly find a better manga. Some people say that they read the manga again and again.
The main topic of the manga is Ideal and Love. The story is very funny. It begins with a normal boy, Junpei Mananka, who see a mystery girl with strawberry-print panties accidentally. After that, he fall in love with that girl and want to find out who she is. The only clue is that he got the girl's note book when the girl run away because of being seeing the strawberry-print panties. He find out the name Aya Toujou on the note book but Toujou is a girl who looks quite normal in his class. With his friend's help, Junpei Mananka finally firmly believe that Tsukasa Nishino who is the idol girl in his school is the girl who wear the strawberry-print panties. And he take heart of grace to make his comfession to Tsukasa Nishino by a very ridiculous abnormal way. After that, Tsukasa Nishino becomes Junpei Mananka's girl friend. And Tsukasa Nishino is such an idol girl that make the normal boy, Junpei Mananka, always feeling nervous. On the other hand, as he communicate with Aya Toujou, he find out that they have a common ideal, and although Aya Toujou is a shy girl, she is very good at studying and writing. As the story developing, Junpei Mananka finally knows that the girl who he love is Aya Toujou. But because Junpei Mananka is being an relationship with Tsukasa Nishino, he can not make up his mind to break up with Tsukasa Nishino. And the story become more complex and funny as the other girls appears when Junpei Mananka becomes a high school student. Junpei Mananka is struggling to realize his dream to become a movie maker in his high school.
In my eyes, the story strongly reflect different peoples' characterization of personality. Junpei Mananka, a boy who has his dream and want to struggle to fulfill it. Aya Toujou, a shy but hard-working girl, Tsukasa Nishino, a cheerful and tender girl. And all other people who ever appear in the manga has his own character. As I am also a hard-working boy and struggle to fulfill my dream which is a little like Aya Toujou and Junpei, still, I consider Tsukasa Nishino is better than Aya Toujou since Tsukasa Nishino is so postive and serious.
The end comes that Tsukasa Nishino comes to Junpei Mananka and confess that although many things happen after they has started a relation, break up and become normal friends again, still she love Junpei. And they build a relationship again. Aya Toujou, who relize that she will lose Junpei if she keep silence. So, at last, she comes to Junpei and make a confession to him too. But everything is too late...
Junpei Mananka and Aya Toujou has a common dream, loves each other very much. Aya Toujou give up the chance to go to the best high school but to study with Junpei, she sure lose much. The plot of the story is always make you laugh, and also you can find something very meaningful such as give up or keep hard-working, choose to love or choose to fulfill dream.
I am sure, you will find it interesting if you see the manga, but I am not recommend the Anime of Ichigo 100%, the story of anime is much worse than the story of manga. Recommend Ichigo 100% to my friends!
