Yes, You may have seen that I've posted 2 pictures for this manga. I personally liked this manga
very much. Oh, and isn't that Shounen genre? And why do I still bother to blog about it ?

Well, I've read this manga till 5th volume (finding time to read vol6&7) and I feel that this manga
is much more on the shoujo side.(Thus, I'll label this under Shoujo :D ) Although it's categorized as Shounen, I would urge Shoujo readers to give this a try.
The art in this manga is simply adorable! Each character has it's cute points (spoiler:Especially Chiruha's innocence at vol 5 x.x ) Along the way , you may find certain
parts funny. About the romance part, (Spoiler:) ~~it's obvious that the two will end up together~~ it's progessing rather slow (in fact, it started at around volume 5 if i remembered correctly)

One important thing, although it's a prequel to Watashi no Ookami-san, there's isn't any 'link' to that manga. The only thing common was that you'll see the same characters( in WNOS ) poping out in Dear and that's it. Even if you skipped the prequel , It doesn't really matter.

I've read Watashi no Ookami-san yesterday and find it not-as-interesting as Dear. I would say that its storyplot is almost on par with the common shoujo cliche (aka weak female main character)

I would recommend Dear more than Watashi no Ookami-san.
For those who have more time to spare, you could try Watashi no Ookami-san if you like.(since it's about 2 volumes long.)

yep, and see you! :D

Rating:4.5/5
