Mizutani and Haru's unusual relationship continues.  Mizutani is determined to make Haru fall in love with her again.  But does she really know Haru.  She realizes how little she knows when his estranged brother shows up.

I'm enjoying the story.  I like the new characters introduced in this volume.

My Little Monster, v. 1 by Robico - 176 pages

Haru believes he is in "love" with Shizuku.  Shizuku just wants to get back to her studies.  But when these two meet it becomes a quest for Haru to make friends.

This was an interesting manga.  I liked the two main characters.  They are a good contrast from each other.

My Little Monster, v. 13 by Robico

My Little Monster, v. 13 by Robico - 256 pages

This volume attempts to finish off the stories of several of the secondary characters in the series.  I enjoyed revisiting the characters again and seeing the wedding of Shizuku and Haru.  The volume also contains several additional short comics and character profiles.  While you don't need to read this volume to finish the series it did contain several stories explaining the characters better.

My Little Monster, v.11-12 by Robico

My Little Monster, v.11 by Robico - 184 pages
My Little Monster, v.12 by Robico - 192 pages

These two volumes end the My Little Monster series.  Volume 11 deals with the repercussions of the argument between Haru and Shizuku during Haru's brother's birthday party.  Volume 12 is basically the epilogue that moves quickly through their final year of high school and their relationship after school.  Both volumes were great conclusions to the series.
I would definitely recommend this series to teens.  The growth of the characters was really well done and natural.

My Little Monster, v.8 by Robico - 174 pages

These volumes continue the story of the romance between Haru and Shizuku.  They finally start dating but then they are hit with the truth behind Haru's family.  Will their fight break them up forever?

I can't wait for the final volume to come in.  It's being released this month.  A great series for teens.

v.7 - It's a new school year and Haru is no longer in the same class as Shizuku.

I really like this series.  I'm looking forward to the final five volumes.  I just have to wait for them to be published in English.

These volumes were great additions to the series.

My Little Monster by Robico

My Little Monster, v.1 by Robico - 172 pages

Haru Yoshida is viewed as an unstable and violent "monster" ever since being suspended on the first day of school for beating up three upperclassmen.  Shizuku Mizutani is a grade-obsessed student with no friends.  When they run into each other Haru declares that he "likes" Shizuku.  Now they are a very unlikely pair of friends.

I had started to read this manga last year when it first came out and I never made it through the book.  I tried it again now and enjoyed the book.  I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
