Description
From Viz media:
Timid and self-conscious high-school student Karin never paid much attention to boys until she met Kiriya, a popular student from a nearby boys' school. Karin and Kiriya embark on a romantic journey despite Karin's classmate Yuka's best efforts to sabotage their relationship, but Karin soon learns that living happily ever after isn't on the curriculum when she becomes Kiriya's center of attention, as well as embittered Yuka's bull's-eye on her dartboard of hate.

"typical and predictable storyline. worst of all it tends to drag a lot."
I second this statement. Kare First Love is too shallow, imo. It's too fast. Things just happen, just like that, and I go "Wha--?" The characters aren't three-dimensional enough to be considered real people. Sure, other people in other manga may have super-clutzes and very unlucky people and stuff, but this type of melodrama isn't able to project the right things at the right times.

It started as a pretty good manga till they had to quarrel about XXX. but not bad. sometimes Karin can be a bit too girly.but otherwise is an okay manga.
well, at firts the annoying rival/fake best friend girl reminded me of a mix between Sae from 'Peach Girl' and Harumi from 'Mars'. Then just when this mean character went out of the picture... the author decided to turn the main couple - both personalities and dynamics-wise - into a closer and closer clone of Rei Kashino and Kira Aso from 'Mars' ( by Fuyumi Souryo). But the result it's not nearly as good in quality as the original is, sadly.
If you have not read Mars, you may still enjoy this for the pleasant art though. But my suggestion is to go for Souryo's title and savour the difference.

I stopped reading at chapter 9. This will definitely fit for somebody who loves role playing - spending hours imagining that the girl is you. I sucked it up when the guy saw the girl without glasses. She's actually, apparently, REALLY beautiful! More beautiful than her meanie friends. So the girl was hiding under those glasses she had on, gets bullied by her "friends" and developed a love interest with a popular [and typical] boy (the guy started to like her when she didn't have her glasses on, half naked in his room). Somehow, he convinces her to wear contacts (?) and so her beautiful and lovable self is revealed. The typical bishoujo persona, and typical shoujo heroine - what more can a teenage girl ask for?
If you're somebody who loves real lovable characters, understandable plot, good chemistry between the couples, mixture of realism and drama, this is not for you. Kare First Love does not deserve ratings above a 7 (7 is a VERY generous score).
What I find very negative about these shoujo mangas is that they pick on teenage girl's self-esteem. The mangaka HAS to have some self-esteem issues to write about beautiful heroines all the time - like she's trying to make a new world for herself.
WAIT A MINUTE! I'm about to LMFAO. So I skipped all the way to the ending... and man, this is cliche to a whole 'nother level!!

I sort of liked it at first, but later into the manga around maybe the 4th or 5th volume i was starting to get either bored or annoyed with how it was going..
The ending was nice though i guess.
But if you're into Clichè stuff, you'll like this, but if you're looking for something a little more try something else.
It had it's funny moments though.
