I’’s is one of my all time favorite manga. A romantic story. It was drawn by Masakatsu Katsura (born December 10 1961) - the Japanese mangaka of several works of manga, including Dream Fighter Wingman, Shadow Lady, DNA 2, Video Girl Ai, and I”s (Aizu).

You really have to love the art of him. I think Masakazu Katsura draws the prettiest manga girls.

The story

The title of manga comes from the initial letter of the 3 main characters - Ichitaka, Iori and Itsuki.

I’’s is a story about a guy name Ichitaka. You see, Ichitaka had a bad experience with a girl that he like when he was small. Since then he afraid to confess to the girl he likes. Now he fell in love with Iori, a beautiful model-like classmate who is nearly perfect. She is also a drama actor in the drama club.

Once all kind of obstacles started to fall on Ichitaka. He branded pervert and such. However, a chance came when they were paired for a project and hence the name I”s as their group name. Slowly, Iori notices Ichitaka’s warm and kindness. Ichitaka on the other hand is trying very hard not to take advantage of Iori on so many occasion.

However, things took a twist when Ichitaka’s childhood friend Itsuki appear. Remembered as a tomboy, she turn up to be a beautiful girl. Itsuki thus enter the triangle of the I”s team. Itsuki move abroad about 4 years ago and now she return perhaps to rekindle old love flame.

But Ichitaka didn’t have any feeling for her except as a childhood friend. And not to mention that Iori thought that Itsuki is his girlfriend. Yet Itsuki encourages Ichitaka on to keep pursuing Iori. Sooner or later, Ichitaka is bound to realise Itsuki’s love for him. Then who would he choose?

Masakazu Katsura’s characters have a realistic and familiar quality that makes it easy to identify with their identities and situations. In I”s, Katsura has even managed to remove any fantasy elements in his work and gives us a love story that could have happened to you or someone you know.

The manga artist is not known for being an ecchi artist for nothing and his work in I”s is no exception. However, despite the large amount of gratuitous panty shots and cleavage art, there are chapters that made good use of these elements to explore the physical side of the characters’ love
