 I love it!Sep 24, 2008
At first glance this first volume may seem rather boring, but it gets really good! I found it rather funny! The plot up 'til now seems normal. I could relate to it cuz when you meet someone and you think good of that person, then you find that that person is exactly the opposite! So, I guess that's why I liked it so much... I wanna read the whole series!

Loved it :)Jun 17, 2008
This is a sweet romantic comedy that I have quickly grown to love. I've already read the first six volumes so I can tell you if you have a problem with the "unpolished" artwork in this volume it gets much, much better as the series continues and I can't help but love it. The character Sakura Ryouko is a very strong willed aggressive girl who doesn't allow people to mess with her and that is evidently seen when she is constanly being tricked by Fuji, the guy she originally had a crush on until she finds out what his part time job is.
I really liked this manga. I will read the whole seriesMay 27, 2008
This is a basic shojo manga but that is what i love about it. The twists keeps you interested and i will definately read the whole series.

 Disappointing, but OKMay 04, 2008
The cover and description of B.O.D.Y. intrigued me and had me really looking forward to it. I purchased it at Hastings and read it that night, but quickly found that the art and the story are both kind of unpolished.
The main problem is that I feel nothing for the lead male. He likes the heroine way too soon, and the story just seems rushed. The characters, the driving force of any manga, are a little flat. There isn't even much going on in terms of plot. The host club thing barely comes up in this volume...It wasn't real funny either, so it can't fall back on comedy.
Overall, this isn't a bad manga, it's just OK. As of yet it hasn't brought anything new to the table. There are other Shojo Beat and shojo manga that were much better in their first volumes (Nana, Sand Chronicles, Honey & Clover, etc.).
I personally won't be buying the next one but my sister has read further volumes (scanlations) and said it gets really good. I suppose it might take more than one volume to really assess a series.
