Trust, jealousy and the difficulty of opening up to other people form the emotional centre of Kanae Hazuki’s Say I Love You. Say I Love You follows Mei Tachibana, a high-school girl who has avoided friendship since a childhood betrayal, and Yamato Kurosawa, a popular classmate whose interest in her gradually pulls Mei into a wider social world. The long series gives substantial space to jealousy, body image, sex, friendship and the uneven pace at which teenagers become more confident.

Those qualities place the books near shōjo romance, high-school drama and coming-of-age series for readers of Kimi ni Todoke and Ao Haru Ride. Read more Less
