The series run in order of popularity. The most popular comes first.

Ao Haru Ride

Back in middle school Futaba Yoshioka had a crush on a gentle boy named Kou. She kept it quiet. Then Kou moved away. Nothing ever came of her feelings. That is the setup of Ao Haru Ride.

Io Sakisaka did both the story and the art. The genres are comedy, drama, romance and slice of life. Its themes are school, a love triangle, heterosexual romance and unrequited love. Of the three series it has the widest spread of genres. It is also the only one tagged with comedy and slice of life.

The series finished in Japan with 13 volumes. All 13 are out in English. There is no next English volume to wait for. You can read the whole thing today.

• Japanese volumes: 13
• English volumes out: 13
• Complete in English: yes

Strobe Edge

Story and art on Strobe Edge are again by Io Sakisaka. It sits in drama and romance. The themes are school, a love triangle, heterosexual romance and coming of age. So this is a school romance built around a love triangle. Fans of Ao Haru Ride will see the same school setting and the same kind of triangle in the tags.

Strobe Edge finished in Japan at 10 volumes. English readers have all 10. That is the lowest volume count of any Io Sakisaka series in English.

Love Me, Love Me Not

Here too Io Sakisaka handled the story and the art. Love Me, Love Me Not is a drama and a romance. Its themes are school, coming of age, a love triangle and heterosexual romance. On paper it shares every theme with Strobe Edge. The two make a natural pair.

The series finished in Japan with 12 volumes. All 12 are out in English. Like the other two it is complete.

Where a new reader should start

Every series on this list is complete in English. So the choice comes down to length. Here is how they line up from shortest to longest.

• Strobe Edge: 10 volumes
• Love Me, Love Me Not: 12 volumes
• Ao Haru Ride: 13 volumes

Strobe Edge is the easiest start. It is the shortest at 10 volumes. It is also complete in English. A new reader can finish it and know right away if Io Sakisaka is for them.

Ao Haru Ride is the other good pick. It is the most popular of the three. It runs 13 volumes and is the longest. It also adds comedy and slice of life to the mix. Pick it if you want the series most fans talk about.

Love Me, Love Me Not fits well as a second or third read. It sits in the middle at 12 volumes. Its themes match Strobe Edge closely.

All three share school settings and love triangles. Finish one and the other two will feel familiar. With every volume already out in English you can read all three back to back.
