I was positively surprised by this manga that I had never heard of before. Heart Break Club is actually better than most of the shoujo manga out there, but sadly so the cover isn't all that successful and the font looks cheap no matter how you look at it. The original covers are so much better! The manga is about high school kids and Momosato in particular, who falls in love with guys that always fall in love with someone else. She's always "the other girl" and people start to see her as a Cupid of sorts. She ends up in a love triangle club and then it's mostly about odd occurrences and the people in the club. The occurrences are great and interesting, which makes this work quite well actually. The center group of the club is multifaceted and everyone has a persona, although sometimes the pattern is very cliched. The most I enjoyed Okinoshima and how he actually is a really normal guy without being bleak - something you don't see that often in manga.

The art is OK, but really nothing spectacular. It works with the story line well, but is a bit too simple for shoujo. There's hardly anything in the background, so the panels feel empty and hollow somehow. Still, Heart break Club is a good manga and interesting too. The plot isn't too cliched, so you actually want to read more to know what happens. So, a good shoujo, even though not mind-blowing. But, does it always need to be even?

This manga was filled to the brim with fluff. I didn't feel extremely connected to the characters or the story. I am interested enough, though, to read the next one.

It starts off cute and fluffy, then volume one ends with the machinations of a teenage sociopath. That was a little whiplash inducing. The translations also seem rather awkward, with bits of text left untranslated, making it seem like we were missing some of the punchlines. I hope it goes through further editing before the official release.

This manga was very cute and a great start for this series. The main character was really interesenting to get to know. A girl who is constantly the warm-up act for others love lives. Ever time she likes a guy another girl and him end up together. This makes her an interesting subject of study to the Heartbreak Clubs leader. From there this club is full of surprises. And maybe even a bit of romance? Check out the rest of the series to find out!
I personally cant wait to read more.

Super cute story. I love the characters. I can't wait to see what happens in volume 2. I'm rooting for the main character!!

Review to be posted on all sources tomorrow.

I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Welcome to the Heart Break Club. A club with 4 people, one girl (our MC) who, as soon as she falls in love, loses the guy to another girl. No clue how she does it, but it is one hell of a terrible superpower to have. Then there is the guy who looks fabulous as a girl and only turned to a girl side for his childhood friend who is a man-hater. The anime nerd who is very hot and I am sure has a backstory as well. Yori, the president, who finds love troublesome, which mostly has to do with her mom leaving her family for another guy.

They are all interesting characters and I am delighted that the author takes time to introduce us to these characters. The first chapter mainly focuses on our MC, the second one on Takeshi (the guy who had the long hair), the third on Yori. Of course even with those chapters being about those characters the focus is also on Nima and her bad luck with guys.

Really, it is one magical superpower that Nima has. One time she picked a guy from 10 photographs and within minutes he had a girlfriend, who wasn't Nima. :P I actually feel sorry for the girl. Every time she looks so much at a guy or feels feelings for him she knows she will lose him.

We see her and Takeshi getting quite close, but Nima is trying not to fall for him, she doesn't want to lose him, their friendship or love. *is sad*

I wasn't too sure how I felt about the girls in the school all flocking to Nima for offerings and prayers. Guys, really? That poor thing keeps losing the guys she likes and all you can think off is that she is some kind of cupid. Why don't you for once realise that this isn't a superpower you would want to have, and that Nima is actually feeling dang sad about it?

We also meet a new girl named Kana, who has the reverse of Nima. If she falls for someone, they will fall for her. Seems kind of like an awesome superpower... but then we learn certain things about this girl, and hot dang. That is just effed up.

I guess I will need to find volume 2 as I do want to see how the situation is going to be resolved. What Kana is doing is a bad bad thing. :|

The art is pretty great, I do like the style. I love how the characters are designed/drawn.

All in all, I already was in love with this series because of blurb/cover, but now I am in love further. This is one good story, and I am curious to see if they are able to help Nima.
