this was a nice and i like it a lot :)

The art is a little bit like "Angry Little Girls" in that both are very simply drawn, yet super cute and effective. The fact that this book is in color and has such a great story and universality to it makes me really appreciate it. It's also written like a diary itself, except in comic form, which makes it really quick, pleasant, and fun to read. It's very funny, and sad at the same time--a given, I suppose, as the two main characters are former lovers trying to do the "Let's be friends, even though it makes us feel womp-womp and super awkward" thing. Impressively, even with all the post-breakup sadness and drama that can automatically come in such situations, Toma does a great job of making it really accessible, humorous, and not too heavy at all. Anyone who has ever laughed, cried, or wanted to tear their hair out because of a relationship should definitely check this book out!

I really wish there were more volumes to X Diary. The words I have to use to describe it is cute and endearing. Although, its ironic I would describe it as that, seeing as its about breakup. But it was suprisingly light-hearted. As the hopeless romantic I am, I had hoped they would end up together at the end. But I'm glad it ended as it did because it doesn't follow the traditional "love" story format. I guess we all must come to terms about the not-too-happy parts of love too. A bite of harsh reality rolled up in one cute and deeply satisfying story.

Anyone who's been through a breakup should read this. The way Mingo deals with her broken heart is just so cute and adorable. Toma is such a unique manhwa-ga. I wish there were more artists like her.

Aw, so this is the end? X Diary was a surprisingly pleasant read! Like a bundle of cuteness, sweetness and touching all rolled into one. I am going to seriously miss reading about Mingo and friends. :(
