About the Series
CRAZY FOR YOU is a seminal shojo romance manga created by Karuho Shiina, who later authored the world-famous Kimi ni Todoke. Serialized in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret from August 2003 to June 2005, the story focuses on Sachi, an innocent high school girl attending an all-girls school with zero prior romance experience.
Sachi's world expands dramatically when she attends her very first group date (gokon) and meets Yuki, a charming yet emotionally complex boy. Strikingly smitten from the start, Sachi decides to pursue her feelings despite learning about Yuki's complicated romantic history and unrequited ties. Her unvarnished honesty challenges those around her.
Shiina captures the raw intensity of adolescent longing, where every small interaction feels monumental. The series delves into the bittersweet realities of high school dynamics, exploring unrequited affection, jealousy among friends, and the courage required to love unconditionally.
Complete in six volumes under the Margaret Comics line, CRAZY FOR YOU shares a shared universe with Kimi ni Todoke, serving as a spiritual cornerstone for Shiina's body of work. It remains a beloved classic for fans of honest, heart-tugging teenage romances.
