You're My Cutie, Volume 1, by Nakaba Harufuji is a manga style graphic novel. Madoka is obsessed with shojo manga—specifically manga that features younger, innocent guys who fall for their Sempai. So she should be thrilled when a gorgeous kohai comes to work at her father's restaurant. Except that he is rude and standoffish and wants nothing to do with her. But when she protects him from some extra-pushy fans, he finds that maybe he's found someone letting his walls down for.
You're My Cutie is a fun and entertaining read. There was not a great deal of character development, although there are hints about more detail coming in future volumes. There was not much outside of Modaka's thoughts and ideas to the story, leaving readers with a fairly one dimensional look at just about everyone and everything around her. There are brief moments with her family and friends, hints that they could play a bigger role in the story, but it never happens. I liked the artwork, and thought the story as a whole was cute with some potential for more growth and depth in the future.
You're My Cutie is a quick, fun read with potential.
