Shounen Ichigo 100% by Mizuki Kawashita

[ssjohn]

It was a good manga but

Major spoiler ahead

Spoiler

Nishino >__< I hated that i read it when the issue of jump came out raw >.< and the only thing i could say was "WTF NISHINO?????" -___- it was between Nishino / Aya and i always wanted him and aya >.< but i got over it and now i think the ending was good

The mangaka won't do anymore chapters its been what 2 - 3 years sense the end in Wsj there is no point to do more chapters. I am just looking forward to the mangaka's next work >_> *if there is another one >.> (hasnt looked >,<)*

I wonder if Viz will edit anything ?

 

[Hawkeye]

There was a site before that had all the chapters and volumes online already but i forgot which site it was so if anyone can help me it was like anime something something .com or .net

 

[Epul]

Don't know where to read online but if you want to download, try
www.mangaspot.com
They also have the manga Lilium's Kiss which is a short manga by the same mangaka
I hope this helps ^^

i love the ending! nishino is totally my type of girl! plus it's great with nishino, as nishino had loved junpei more than aya, of course junpei would fall for her more. i like aya, but nishino is just the perfect girl for me . how the author sent it off at the end was really perfect, i almost cried with joy . i love this series, definitely one of my faves

 

[Epul]

well...

Spoiler

A couple chapters before the end, it really did look like Junpei's gonna choose Aya. Furthermore, it looks like they were fated together for example how their numbers match during the festival and how they both have the same interest. I wouldn't say that Nishino had loved Junpei more, I think Aya loved Junpei as much as Nishino but the reason Aya lost the battle in my opinion is that she left it too late...... had she been more forward like Nishino early on, I get the feeling Junpei would have chosen Aya instead. ^_^ I think it is the theme that the mangaka is trying to show, even if two people looks like they are meant for each other (like aya and junpei), if they don't work hard for the love, it is not gonna happend... that's how i feel anyway ^_^

 

[yoniekai]

Spoiler

i said that nishino HAD loved junpei more... they all love him equally, both of them, and satsuki too, but nishino was the one who pursued manaka more, even with all the odds in their relationship, she kept on seeing him and stuff, and manaka too feels the same way, so yeah, love breaks fate . and if manaka met satsuki before the two, they'd be together. that's why satsuki was rejected all the time, cause manaka's mind is on nishino's and aya's first. the series really makes sense, i dont get some forums they keep saying a rushed ending and nishino was chosen because of fan popularity

 

[Epul]

Spoiler

I agree with you there yoniekai, I think the ending was not rushed. In fact I thought it was well thought of by the mangaka. Definitely one of the best endings i've seen. About those forums, I think it would be the same if aya was chosen. They would still say it was a rush ending and aya was chosen because of fan popularity!

 

[yoniekai]

Spoiler

yeah, cause this series is so lovable its impossible not to pick a favored girl. so the fan prejudice always comes, man this series is one of the most lingering series ive read. when i saw the last scene i felt euphoric. im reading it again as a matter of fact

---

btw, can anybody recommend another good manga themed like ichigo? i think ichigo is by far the best in the harem romance field

 

[Epul]

Well, I would recommend the manga I's and Videogirl Ai. Both mangas are from mangaka Masakazu Katsura.

 

[yoniekai]

hm... I's look good. im not sure about the story but the art looks promising. that's what i like about ichigo100% too, aside from the great plot, the art is dropdead cute gorgeous and realistic. satsuki, aya and nishino are the most beautiful manga characters i've seen

 

[Rau_Le_Creuset]

Perhaps I shouldn't be asking for this since the series is already licensed (if so, please let me know), but despite that, I really, really want to read the raw version of the manga. I read the scanlated version and I loved it very much that it made me want to read the original version. I can't seem to find anywhere that has them and I'm near the point where I want to beg people to help me find them!


So, please if anyone knows, please tell me where I can get the raw version of Ichigo 100%!

 

[yoniekai]

gotlurk.net, check out the RAWS bot. or maybe rawmanga.com

 

[Rau_Le_Creuset]

Thank you very much but I haven't used IRC before and since Rawmanga doesn't seem to be letting any files to be download, I am asking too much do you know of any other place that offers the raw?

 

[yoniekai]

you're right, rawmanga's links are broken. you should learn IRC, here's the link:
http://mangahelpers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=112

 

[Rau_Le_Creuset]

I probably should learn to use it since it seems pretty useful. However, I'm worried about virus and other stuff that will be involved. I was hoping some site still had direct download or something.

 

[bakashijinsan]

I don't think you'll have to worry about viruses coming from lurk bots. I downloaded several manga's from them and didn't have any problem. Maybe it's just me.

 

[yoniekai]

irchighway is a pretty reliable server. it checks the users for trojans and malware before letting them in

 

[Rau_Le_Creuset]

Yes, but I gave it some thought and I decided that I want to avoid using IRC. I was hoping that I can download from a site, but RawManga's links unfortunately broken. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can get the files from IRC and upload them to rapidshare or something, but I know that'a asking too much. Anyway, thanks for your imputs and infos guys!

 

[garpjr1188]

so there's a thread for my favorite manga....glad that a lot of readers love this manga too...i have been looking for this... despite the ending its still number 1 in my list in this genre. i find the ending bittersweet, sad but still happy...i rooted for aya-chan waah!..

did you guys know that the mangaka originally intended a manaka-aya ending, i've read it in a google blog somewhere, the poster translated the mangakas ending notes...it said that somewhere along the way while writing the manga, the love story somewhat evolved so manaka ended up with tsukasa, instead of aya..anyways she said that dont worry about aya, she's happy that way and she still has her writing career..

but personally i thought the ending was hanging. i interpreted on the last lines that it may just be a new beginning for their life and their love story..aya still has a connection with manaka, they even tend to finish a movie together and reach for the oscars..so in my opinion she still has a chance with him....

i'm not sure if this is allowed, please edit(mods) if not...

this is the link of the ending comment from the mangaka..

you know, if aya were chosen by manaka, she wouldnt mature, dont you think? being dumped made her stronger imo. same goes to satsuki and the others, they wouldnt move on without getting dumped. anyway im a nishino fan
