The Potential Aspects in 'I'm Looking for Serious Love! Chapter 1' Analysis

It has been a few years since I first read this manga, and I find myself unable to resist rereading it. As a fan of BL genres, I must say that this manga holds a special place in my heart, particularly in the light-hearted category. The cover of the manga immediately caught my attention, as it often does for many readers when choosing which manga to read. The cover hints at the presence of both cute and mature characters, promising an enjoyable experience. After reading Chapter 1 of this manga, my initial excitement was confirmed. Even further, In this analysis of 'I'm Looking for Serious Love! Chapter 1,' we'll explore the potential aspects that I see from my perspective in this manga.

Throughout Chapter 1, we are introduced to Kyouhei, a college student embarking on a new life in the bustling city of Tokyo. Having moved from a close-knit community in a small town, Kyouhei's decision to give his neighbor a housewarming gift adds an interesting dynamic to the story. This showcases the cultural differences between city and countryside life and how they can influence social interactions. Personally, I could never imagine myself moving to a big city and presenting a gift to my neighbor, but it definitely adds an intriguing element to the plot. To make matters worse, Kyouhei encounters Takara, a playboy who seems to be involved with any willing woman. This clash of cultures experienced by Kyouhei reminds me of my own naivety when discovering unique aspects of city life. Their first meeting introduces them to each other but also leads to animosity on Kyouhei's part.

Kyouhei's encounter with Takara leaves him with a negative impression of not only Takara but also city dwellers in general. This reaction is understandable, as Kyouhei's expectations about city folks are shattered. However, he soon meets Mura, a character who I believe plays a crucial role in this manga. Mura is like a chameleon, adapting to each person's differences and displaying wisdom in his interactions. Their conversation made me realize that when someone moves to a new place, they are often associated with stereotypes from their place of origin. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean we have to accept disrespect from others. We can choose friends who genuinely respect us. Mura-granny, I hope your role in the next chapter will be even more captivating!

Throughout the remainder of Chapter 1, the story continues to focus on Kyouhei's negative perception of Takara. While some readers may not find this part enjoyable, as a BL enthusiast, I found it intriguing. However, if you prefer characters like Sasaki from the anime 'Sasaki to Miyano,' you may feel slightly uncomfortable with this manga. Nonetheless, I highly recommend continuing to Chapter 2, as there is a reason for this part of the story created by the author. Unlike Kyouhei, Takara remains unfazed by Kyouhei's anger and even finds it amusing. I share the same sentiment. I appreciate that their relationship is built upon an initial non-mutual understanding, with one getting angry and the other playing around. This non-mutual dynamic allows me to speculate on how the next chapters will unfold, and I remain optimistic about the manga's future. I have come across stories that start off well but falter in the middle; however, this comic deserves your attention.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this manga to those who are fans of stories with characters who have contrasting personalities or who simply enjoy the 'cool tease' or 'dominant' types pursuing the 'cute' or 'hot-cold submissive' types or 'innocent x experience' dynamics. I am eagerly looking forward to the development of these characters in future chapters. You can find this comic on Amazon, where it has received a high rating of 4.6/5. On Goodreads, it holds a rating of 3.4/5. If you want an e-book version, visit Booktopia.
