All it leads to is betrayal and heartbreak, and she's well enough on her own. But everything changes when she accidentally roundhouse kicks the most popular boy in school! However, Yamato Kurosawa isn't angry in the slightest—in fact, he thinks his ordinary life could use an unusual girl like Mei! He won't take no for an answer, and soon Mei and Yamato embark on an unwanted friendship that will change both of them forever. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Read the full take
Say "I Love You". is a bright, earnest shoujo romance with a clear, appealing hook. A girl who has sworn off friendship after being betrayed as a child is determined to be alone. Then she accidentally kicks the most popular boy in school, and he is not angry at all. He thinks his ordinary life could use someone as unusual as her, and he refuses to take no for an answer. The heroine is prickly and determined, and her guarded heart feels honest. The comedy is warm, and the romance builds with sincere beats. The honest cons: the boy's persistence can feel pushy at times, and the plot follows familiar shoujo patterns. Some side characters are thin. Still, it is a sweet, engaging read for fans of school romance. If you like a heroine who slowly lets someone in, this is a good pick.
