Japanese Commercials

Sometimes I like to just browse through and look at foreign commercials on video sites like youtube. Some of them don't make much sense but still very entertaining. It also just shows the difference in culture when it comes to marketing products.

Koukou Debut - High School Debut

Koukou Debut

I heard about Koukou Debut by chance. I don't remember which site I was on but I caught a glimpse about this manga being turned into a live-action. I was curious so I searched around to learn more.

I learned about the storyline and got excited. I was never really a big manga reader but for some reason this story just caught my attention. Koukou Debut is a shojo romantic comedy manga created by Kawahara Kazune. It's a 13 volume manga which was just recently published in English.

I was hoping it was already adapted into an anime so I tried searching for it but with no luck. So, I broke down and looked around for the manga and finally found it. I was instantly addicted.

It's a very cute story about a tomboy girl who finally decides to stop being a tomboy when she gets to high school in order to fall in love.
