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.
