Heart Break Club

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.

This was so cute! Nima is unlucky in love. Once she talks to the boy she likes they get a girlfriend. Which brings her to the Heartbreak Club.

I really like the story line. We learned more about each of the members of the club and I really want to know what happens next!

Thank you to Akita Publishing Co.,Ltd. and NetGalley for providing me with an e-copy to read and review.

Heart Break Club (Volume 1) is a romantic comedy that I can see myself really getting into. The premise is certainly different (and unique) from the usual rom-coms I read and watch, but there was something about this story that intrigued me. It's an unusual story and I think that's why I like it so much.

All of the characters are so endearing and lively in their own way. Nima Momosato (the MC) you can't help but root for. Yoriko Mitoya is an awkward nerdy to love (and also root for). Takeshi Okinoshima is kind, caring and cute. And Ryo Hikawa is an anime fan after me own heart.

This was a great opening to an entertaining story. I'm really interested in seeing where this story goes in the next volume. I'll have to add this series to my TBR for sure.

Book Review
Title Heart Break Club Volume 1
Author: Nikki Asada
Genre: Manga
Rating: *****
Review: So, I didn’t know anything about Heart break Club going into it but the cover gave me some Breakfast Club vibes, so I had to request it. The synopsis states: Nima Momosato is jinxed. Whenever she has a crush on someone, they end up finding love elsewhere right in front of her eyes. She ends up joining a slightly weird club that observes and studies other people's love lives and relationships. Now this was enough to get me hooked.
Nima is jinxed, every time she likes a boy then end up getting girlfriends before she can confess making her a bit of a joke within the school, however, one day she is approached by a girl to join her club as they observe the love lives of others from the shadows. After some thought Nima decides to check out the club where she meets, Ryo, Takeshi (trap alert!) and Yoriko. The banter is already top quality with everyone have something different about them which is hilarious. Yoriko seems to be a nerdy person with the deserve to watch other peoples lives like soap opera, Takeshi is the biggest trap if I’ve ever seen one and Ryo is a secret otaku.
As we learn more about the characters and what they are trying to do with their club we learn about the different outlooks each has on love, Ryo only loves anime, Takeshi is in love with his childhood friend who is engaged while Nima never even gets the chance to confess the only one we don’t know much about is Yoriko, but she seems to know everything about everyone.
In the final section of the manga we get a few interesting twists and I can already see a relationship developing between two of the characters and there is a very strange mystery surrounding another and their love life and it gave me some really creepy vibes, so I can’t wait to get into volume 2 as soon as I can.

This was too cute and I need to read the rest. The illustrations and story are just the kind of light and fluffy that I need.

I do hope that Nima finds that love she's always wanted!

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this in exchange for an honest review.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I love manga and it is ones like this one that remind me about how cute and funny, shoujo manga can be. I had a fantastic time reading this and was sad when I finished it.

I love all the characters and think I see where the romance is going, which should be cute. The art is clean and nice to look at. I almost laughed out loud, but not quite.... yet. I will be continuing this series, so I'm betting that eventually it will get a laugh out of me.

I'm so bad at reviewing manga-- especially ones I liked. I adored this and plan to continue reading it. If you like quirky romance stories, you should definitely give this one a try.

Thanks to netgalley and netgalley and the publisher for the free e-book to review.


Ahhhh I loved it, I love the art, the characters and the angst. Poor Nima is jinxed if she falls in love the guy finds love with someone else. This is really fun and addictive, I love these type of manga and they're so cheerful and light hearted, the perfect pick me ups. The comedy is great, perfect angst and tension, so good I'm off to get the next because I need to know what happens next and hope Nima gets her guy.
