I Am Here! or Koko ni iru yo! , by Ema Toyama The story follows a middle school girl named Hikage who has no friends because she is shy, and has the amazing talent of being so "plain" in appearance that she's completely unnoticed by her classmates. Her only two friends are the two followers on her blog that she writes under the alias "Sunflower". However, Hikage has a crush on Teru, one of the two most popular boys in school, and the only classmate to ever notice her. Hikage, with the support and advice of her two online friends, decides to try and become the kind of person she wants to be in order to become a part of the class.
I really like this story a lot. A bit of exaggerated drama that probably couldn't happen in real life, but it's not overbearing. Overall the relationships are cute, and the whole thing has a very real feel to it. The story mainly focuses on relying on your own strength as well as the people around you in order to grow as a person, and also touches the topics of real life vs. online friendship and bullying/isolation. The main characters are developed and well balanced, and it's got elements that make it unique.
I love this manga (and author) so much. I've been encouraging all my friends to read it.
