I"s

桂正和's I"s is a landmark 15-issue romantic comedy manga serialized by Shueisha from 1997 to 2000, centered on the painfully relatable high school life of a shy art student and his unspoken feelings for the girl of his dreams. Written and illustrated entirely by the acclaimed creator 桂正和, the series is celebrated for its heartfelt, slow-burn storytelling and his signature blend of tender character design and emotional realism. As a defining work of late-90s shōnen romance, I"s remains a touchstone for fans of the genre, capturing the awkward, aching sweetness of first love with uncommon sincerity.
