She Is Still Cute Today, Volume 1

This engaging first volume introduces Sadie Cang, a top freshman at Brilliant Minds High, who dazzles classmates with her intellect yet struggles to find a real friend. Lex Qi, often labeled hopeless, marches to her own drum, facing a campus marked by rumor and failure. When a silly rumor forces these two unlikely classmates together, the result is a tender, laughter-filled romance that blossoms across their differences. Guo Si Te, the creator behind this Chinese Girls' Love manhua, crafts a witty, emotionally honest story that blends sharp humor with heartfelt romance. The art, in a colorful, manga-inspired style, captures the contrasts between ambition and vulnerability, classmate dynamics, and the thrill of first love. Adapted into a live-action series, this first volume sets the stage for a continuing tale of self-discovery, friendship, and the courage to pursue love on one's own terms.
