Reviews for Ripe for the Picking Manga

I love the multiple story lines, but kagiya is why I’m here. Story is so interesting, I can relate to it well. I love seeing the characters develop and I will be spending my money here again lol.

This manga surprised me. I thought it was going to focus on one main character but it details the love lives and turmoils of others. There is humor, drama, and will have you putting yourself in many of the characters shoes. Definitely a must read!

I love this story!! I am not quite at the age of the characters, but I still eat connected with them because I'm someone who struggles with relationships and the theme of sex. However, those topics have always been so appealing to me since I crave being able to understand them more. I love how "real" this feels.

It's a josei. Gonna be a jdrama. It's good. A lot better than the premise and the ridiculous volume covers. Women in the workplace. Sexism they face, because they're women. There are friendships. It initially is about a girl who is still a virgin but the focus shifts to the rest of her coworkers. It reminds me of Cherry Magic. Both similar premises, both office place dramas. Both delve into relationships.

I love the multiple story lines, but kagiya is why I’m here. Story is so interesting, I can relate to it well. I love seeing the characters develop and I will be spending my money here again lol.

Really love the characters and the way the story is narrated. It made me think a lot about how other people can feel in different ways.

Enjoying this story so far. The art is adorable and the characters are dynamic without being too much for such a large cast. They're each approaching relationships from different perspectives and completely different attitudes. If anything they're each a little too in their own heads and each lack a steady support system. But I'm guessing that'll change as the story progresses

Full disclosure review here so y'all don't end up like me.
The girl in the first chapter doesn't reappear until chapter 7 and it's mainly just a repeat of chapter 1. The story up till that point is fairly uninteresting but picks up past that.

Genuinely gripping past that since it continues the story of what happened in chapter 1. Chapter 13 ish? Sorta puts her on the back burner again and we begin to focus once more on the girl in chapter 2-7. This time however it picks up as she starts to pursue someone.

Chapter 14 ends on a big cliff hanger and it hasn't been updated since October. There's no signs of it continuing at the moment either.

All in all, save your money unless you're okay with a cliff hanger.

Title says it all, I really only started reading this due to chapter 7 story I found it more interesting than the first part

I didn’t really care for everything before ch 7 but after the story did get slightly better and more interesting. I felt as if the plot point on the fl with trying to find someone to be with was kind of shallow

I was losing interest until chapter 7 after that it got good and juicy. She had it coming with all the rude comments

This is a good fictional insight in how Japanese relationships work as there are differences on how work is treated. In the US it’s work to eat and inverse in Japan

A great manga from a prolific author known for their shocking and dramatic stories. Knowing the weight of their previous works, I was quite relieved to see the much lighter tone of this story and the interesting, grounded characters it follows.

Nice read, very fun story ! Did not realize what the story was about until I read it. Would definitely recommend to other readers that enjoy these types of manga .
