Domestic Girlfriend Vol. 1

The story is complex and very well thought out. It follows our protagonist through Senior year of High School and then into college as he grows professionally and personally. The protagonist is a young achiever and noted author. The relationship parts of the story are very good, I just wish it was a little less erotic at times. Anyway, the story was good enough for me to pay for a copy of it, in order to support the creators work.

I love 💘 these type of unexpected, fun & overall great 👍 stories that you never want to put down!!!

Great series kinda a weird creepy scenario not a bad story. Very addictive story definitely not for kids. Looking forward to seeing the next one

Soap Opera romances is like poison for the soul. Of course, if unobtainable yearnings rife with forbidden love is more than enough to satisfy those vicarious desires (without having to live them yourself), look no further than volume 1 of Kei Sasuga's twisted world in Domestic Girlfriend. Known more her work in GE: Good Ending, Domestic Girlfriend contains the same level of carnal naughtiness, intense drama and light-hearted humor as it follows hapless protagonist Natsuo and his confusing life as a high school student. Having a crush on his teacher and sex with a girl after a botched social function is one thing, but finding out both will be his new step-sisters is beyond baffling. Seems like it is going to take more than a couple of therapy sessions and Maury Povich pep talks to sort out this boy's feelings. Where the introductory volume does tend to shift gears quickly and makes it somewhat difficult to get a clear grasp of the characters personalities or tone, on the flipside, it did make for a more breezy and refreshing read as well as build some interest in the cast. Whether it be Hina's bubbly demeanor as a cover up for her strained relationship problems or Rui's chilly facade masking her social inept graces, I did find myself caring for the characters immediately despite employing some common tropes. Hopefully, these elements will play a role later on since not much came to fruition in this volume. Another aspect that I liked is that the manga does tend to stay away from the typical romantic template that seems to be a standard many manga authors follow and just plain frustrating to fans. Again, characters are a large part of this, especially with Natsuo taking the lead male role of the generic "nice guy", but does not come off like a lovesick puppy that can not speak at the mere presence of his affection. Again, counting on future volumes to keep up this trend or do something with the dynamics. Either way, it does lead to a pretty saucy cliffhanger. Being largely unfamiliar with Sasuga's artwork and style, I must say that I have become a fast fan. Not being too overbearing on the sex appeal or too unbelievable in character designs, most of the cast do feel like representatives of actual human beings unlike the light and fluffy high school romances that flood the market. Of course, for the male viewer, Sasuga does provide plenty of eye candy. As aforementioned, even though the work feels very light and quick to get through on a train ride (beware, not all that safe for public consumption) the panels do factor into this as there is a lot details packaged in, yet not too the point of cluttering pages and messing with the flow. Admittedly, it also somewhat shorter than a normal volume (even with the humorous extra chapter at the end), but think that might be attributed to my own reading pace and not being able to put it down. In conclusion, the opening act of Domestic Girlfriend is the start of a promising work and sure to sit right with fans frustrated with the common romantic setup or looking for something more mature to an extent. Filled with plenty of laughs to drown out the drama and tension bringing it back, it has to be one of the better titles I read this year in the genre. Still having a few misgivings on the future of the project, I'm sure Sasuga is hard at work to make the following volumes will be just as addictive as this one.

This is a great read so far I'm enjoying it all it keeps you wanting more . . . .

I really liked this manga. It is an unconventional romance story that follows the common clichés of most manga and anime stories, but its pacing allows one chapter to be more spicy than an entire volume of another manga. I feel like the characters have real human emotions and their actions affect eachother in realistic ways. Over all, if you're looking for a romantic story that tackles taboo topics, this is the genuine article.

Ive seen the anime a few years ago and reallyenjoyedit. So it took me a while to find the manga now that i have im very excited to dive int to the book series.

Great read if you like taboo love. Or if you simply like complex romance this series is great! One word

Historia extraña, pero interesante

Si quieres sentir, y exponerte a quedarte emocionalmente exhausto, esta es tu historia. Es un viaje a la madurez emocional, que te hará sentir, llorar, reir con los protagonistas. A mi personalmente me ha dado que mucho que pensar, una pena que no lo haya leído en mis dias mas jóvenes.

I watched the anime about a year ago and now I decided to read the manga, and honestly it is a improvement. The art is amazing and it gives the characters more expression. The plot is still hot trash but it's good so I don't care. Overall, this is good manga if you like spicy stuff.

i dont know why its just good

Dieses Buch ist der Beginn einer sehr außergewöhnlichen aber mitnehmenden und mitreißenden Geschichte. Es geschehen vor allem zu Beginn einige Beziehungstechnische Geschehen die ggf. gesellschaftlich unmoralisch scheinen aber hier empfehle ich stark darüber hinwegzusehen. Die Geschichte wird eine herzzerreißende Geschichte, wo Charaktere versuchen die Liebe ihres Lebens zufinden aber sich teilweise gegen das Schicksal stellen. Für mich einer der besten Manga aller Zeiten
