Vitamin (SUENOBU Keiko)

Vitamin is simply amazing. It's realistic enough to be entirely scary, but for American readers(which I am), not close enough.
All in all, it makes for a breathtaking read. I love the girl's spunk at the end, it really uplifted everything the story was about.

This manga was what initially got me interested in this author; the storyline makes for something unique, but not too over the top, and the art, while not perfect, suits this story quite well.

This manga is beyond anything I can say. I was feeling so down from just life, especially my relationship with my mother, and this manga made me feel so much better. I feel like a can breathe deeply again. Now read twice, and will be read so many more times in the future.

Please, please read it. Favourite manga of all time.

i was very impressed at the depth of the emotions that could be packed into a 3 chapter manga. the bullying was really extreme but i liked the absurdity of it, but for me the best part was that she didn't let them get away with it, she got the ultimate revenge and i cant help but laugh thinking THEY GOT OWNED

Wow. So much power packed in 3 measly chapters, and beautifully done. It lifted my spirits as I was feeling down. What a great read.
Character growth went a long way. I'm sad it's over when it feels like the heroine's adventures have simply just begun. After only 3 chapters, I'm more attached to this character than ever, and it's already ended 🙁

but I'm so glad I read it ^_________^

Great but short read

Likable female lead..
Great story...
Inspiring ending..
But short read...
Wished the author had fleshed out more on certain part because it is jumping from one scene to another scene so you have to use your own imagination..
I suggest to read another work from the author first which portray the same theme..LIFE
Nevertheless it is a good read because female lead owned it..

Great Manga!

Definitely conveyed a lot within one dense volume. I love the focus on the manga, as unlike most shoujo manga where the people who bully feel remorse, or that the main girl character is naive and innocent and eventually gets along with everyone, this girl is very strong, and the manga conveys much of her emotion and distress when faced with extreme bullying. Btw, the guy is a complete arse, and I really wished that her revenge included him at the end. I would have loved seeing his stupid face feel bad.

It's excellent. Much better than most 10+ volume mangas, and this one is only 3 chapters.

Read it. Learn from it. Never do what her class/school is doing.

When I read this I was kinda shocked by how dirty it was lol but when I saw what the classmates kept doing to her woah man i couldn't forget this manga for a while.
The author must've had some experience with bullying to write this kinda stuff but Im glad she did, because it gives out the right message.

Excellent but heart-wrenching

by VampireBanana

A heart-wrenching manga which really deals with the subject of bullying. Nothing is glossed over and the incidents are terrible to behold. Yet, the ending is positive instead of many other manga which end with the subject caving into the bullies or thinking that he/she deserved to be bullied.

Still, it's a pity that few have read this story.

Okay

I thought the overall message was good; the art was fine too. But this is exactly how Life went, with the victimzed girl, the whole school against her, cutting her hair for a fresh start...And I honestly am not someone who really knows the realities of bullying but this felt contrived and exagerated. The "antagonists" were completely demonized and rather than seeing the severity and emphasis on the bullying what I saw was a really naïve view of the situation.

As I said though, the overall message was good and clear. The author, as usual is skilled at creating hateable antagonists. I'm a little frustrated to see that I had little sympathy for the victim, and the series did little to provoke some kind of emotional reaction from me. This contradicts what a lot of the other reviews say...
