Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet

Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet, or Boarding School Juliet, although was a rather enjoyable experience to read, does not fall into my category of an outstanding romantic comedy, but rather as your typical cliche romantic comedy story.

Similar to the original "Romeo and Juliet" story written by William Shakespeare, protagonists Persia and Inuzuka are the leaders of the rivaling House White Cats and House Black Dogs respectively. And exactly like the original story these two get together and become a secret couple, doing everything they can so no one but their most trusted ones know of their forbidden relationship.

Boarding School Juliet is similar to many other Japanese romantic comedies with having two lover protagonists go through many trials and events while resulting in the strengthening of their bonds. There's not exactly anything special or remarkable about this story. That doesn't mean its boring; it still contains many scenes that can melt the readers heart and wish the protagonists for the best.

But like many Japanese romantic comedies, it lacks a story with depth. There's not much of an overall main theme or lesson being taught. And if there is, it's expressed very weakly and hardly noticeable. Boarding School Juliet is just another story that uses a cute romance story to hook the reader into continuing. While this does have a low risk, there's also a low reward on top of that.

I myself am an avid reader and personally enjoy the romantic comedy genre, considering it as one of my guilty pleasures. If you aren't looking for a strong story with great and well developed characters, then try out Boarding School Juliet. It's definitely a fun and heartwarming experience that is hard to regret spending time on. But if you are looking for the type of story just mentioned, then it is best just to skip this one for now.

Don't expect a really good review, this goes all to my opinions and experience about the manga and this is my first time making a review so yeah, Anyways the comedy is really funny, its so top notch that its going to overtake Konosuba in my opinion, ,the romance is good, you know the good ol classic cliche in every romance anime well they kinda have one but its kinda different because the plot is really amazing and lastly the plot, the plot is really good and i don't want to spoil anything but its kinda like nisekoi so yeah, The art is great it's just normal not amazing or not ugly it's just normal, The Characters well they are pretty well developed once such event happens well... it does have a bit of drama i think?, Overall its 10/10

Interesting work, this revisitation of Romeo and Juliet. Because even if the characters are called like Romeo (Romio) and Juliet, they are nowhere like their dramatic counterparts. And rightly so.
Romeo and juliet entered the imaginary as "immortal true love" while for anyone reading the original work it's really clear that their relationship was too hasty, and based on looks more than knowledge of each other. All the story takes place in lesss than a week, and Romeo was one of the most vain characters ever, ready to die for his former love, Rosaline, and changing idea just looking at Juliet. The idea of "suicide as a protest against the world" quite probably was never in Shakespeare's thoughts, while a lot points to condemning the parents' obstination and the young lovers' hastiness (as friar lawrence warned Romeo and Juliet many times) as the reasons for the tragedy. They never were there to be set as an example, especially in a period where suicide was seen as the ultimate sin.

Ending the ranting, this Romio and this Juliet are quite different respect to their literary counerparts: first, they know each other since they were kids, and they secretly admire each other even if they are enemies. No "love at first sight" but feelings developing during the years, and knowing and admiring each other. After they start dating in secret, well, they don't think about "dying for each other" but they want "to change the world" by bringing peace to their fighting countries. And for bringing peace, you must be alive. So here, the two lovers have a completely different approach and solutions to the problem respect to their counterparts. And it works. Of course it is a comedy, but instead of dying the two stand and fight for their love and their ideals. A welcome change of perspective, deleting the negativity of the tragedy's R&J.
About the work, it is nothing you cannot see anywhere else, but the main characters are good, and so are many of the side figures. They grow - and keep their growth - quite clearly, and it is satisfying to see especially Romio to change his ways significantly from the start to the end. The comedy moments work well, and even if there is nothing really new, the author makes it flow quite well. The good rythm is also helped by the not exaggerated lenght of the manga and low presence of fillers.
Summing it up: it is NOT Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and it is a good thing. Nothing completely original, but put together with care and skill. Recommended.

Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet
A beautiful manga At the time I started his anime not expecting much but in his first chapters he began to hook me up little by little that I could not wait 1 week for Anime and I went to manga .. From there began my adventure for this manga. Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet is a school manga that shows us protagonists of some classic characters Romeo and Juliet you could say that it is a plot already widely used and recycled but by following the story you see that it is not. The author shows us what the best of manga is for me and it is the variety of characters so charismatic the secondary are very good since in the course of the manga these are related to any of the 2 protas and show us their development with them What I think is great. Another strong point is how the author makes it clear that it is a love story of 1 single couple not of a love triangle, so you expect a solid love story between Romeo and Juliet without any third party getting in the way. This story follows the classic of a forbidden love where they, being recognized characters in their school, try to hide their love as well as possible, but they know that they cannot last like this forever, so their main objective is to "Change the World". The whole manga is focused on this in how the protas want the world to change and accept their relationship. In the course of the manga everything becomes more difficult and new characters that influence the story and especially in the evolution of the protagonists come out this seems to me a very good point to make the secondary are not episodes and are characters that have importance with them. Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet is a school manga so it has many episodes "Slice of Life" where we see the day-to-day life of the protas hiding their relationship or relating to other characters at school but this point is not heavy the author knows how to plan these situations so that it does not look like "Stuffing or something unnecessary" this makes following the Manga very comfortable and does not feel heavy to follow; other than that it puts "shonen" arches or action scenes that look great from my point of view. In my personal opinion I love this manga is one of the first that I followed and I feel very nostalgic that it ends, for my part very happy with everything and it is a wonderful manga and that above all you take a very big affection to all his characters, as soon as Drawing is very good not becoming a work of art but having a more than decent level, the story is great moves slowly but flows through its characters so it is consumed very well. Anyway this was my review, from here I am with tears in my eyes seeing how one of my favorite works has come to an end ... Until forever Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet has been a wonderful manga.
