I"s

A beloved 15-issue romantic comedy-drama from Tonkam, I"s (2000–2002) follows the tender, awkward, and often hilarious misadventures of a teenage boy hopelessly in love with his beautiful classmate. The series is most closely associated with creator Masakazu Katsura, whose signature blend of heartfelt emotion, gentle humor, and striking character design made it a defining manga of its era. Its enduring appeal lies in its sincere, almost painfully relatable portrayal of first love, friendship, and the small, everyday moments that shape young hearts.
