Reviews for I Love Amy

If you only glance at I Love Amy, you might think it’s just a quirky high school rom-com drawn in a cutesy cartoon style — the kind of story that plays it safe with pastel-colored feelings and harmless crushes. But chapter by chapter, this manhwa slowly dismantles that impression and replaces it with something much more raw, tender, and unsettling. At its core, it’s the story of two broken girls: Bibi, a borderline psychotic rich kid with a deeply fractured psyche and a freezer full of taxidermied pets, and Amy, a quiet Korean immigrant living in the U.S., still haunted by the childhood trauma ofa mother who once tried to kill her. Their meeting is accidental, manipulative, even absurd — Bibi pulls Amy into a ridiculous scheme to win over the school’s golden boy — but what follows is a strangely beautiful, emotionally intimate, and sometimes deeply uncomfortable bond between two people learning how to give and receive love for the first time. Through the simplest moments — cooking together, watching TV, falling asleep in the same bed — Amy becomes a source of healing for Bibi, and Bibi, chaotic and obsessive as she is, helps Amy find a sense of agency and visibility. The manhwa’s recurring metaphor of a cookie jar — empty at the start, slowly filled one “biscuit” at a time with Amy’s kindness — perfectly captures the emotional growth at the story’s center. And yet, despite its darkness (gun-waving declarations of love, jealousy, abandonment, trauma therapy, and even alien abductions), what truly defines I Love Amy is an unexpected softness. The art, which draws more from Western indie comics than traditional manga, adds to this with its round eyes, flat colors, and expressive faces. There's even a subtle love triangle, with Camilla — Amy’s loyal childhood friend — quietly carrying unspoken feelings that add further depth to the story’s emotional tension. In the final arc, even the quirky side characters like cynical Linda and extraterrestrially-traumatized Katelyn get their own romantic closure, as if the manhwa is whispering: no one is too strange, too broken, or too lost to find love. I Love Amy is not perfect, and it never tries to be — but it’s one of those rare stories that manages to be funny, disturbing, and profoundly sweet all at once. It doesn't romanticize trauma, but it dares to show how love — awkward, chaotic, healing love — can exist even in the darkest places. And that might be the most comforting message of all.

🎶🎶 Oh, she's sweet but a psycho A little bit psycho At night, she's screamin' "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind" Oh, she's hot but a psycho So left but she's right, though At night, she's screamin' "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"🎶 Well I certainly didn’t expect a cutesy looking manhwa would be pretty tense, dark and interesting. We see crazy Yandere-like gal Bibi who is obsessed with Peter, the most popular boy in the school and wants him badly to be his girl. She drags poor shy gal herself, Amy to help her out in leading Peter to her demise. I liked how the author also deep dived into both girls backgrounds on why theyact the way the act.

It was heartbreaking to witness Amy’s mother leaving her in a hot car as a child and it almost killed her. Of course she is arrested and Amy lives with her loving aunt. We also see Bibis parents were killed in a plane crash and her oddball uncle is her guardian. Although I wish we could see more of him in the story as I felt he had fewer scenes like he would be more of a interesting character to discuss more about.

Really good dark but cute GL lads to check out!

There's a lot to praise in this manhwa, but I find the most striking and utterly brilliant aspect of I Love Amy is its understanding of how to successfully toe the line between the comedic, the downright disturbing, and a heartwarming, earnest love story. I Love Amy is a yuri manhwa about two deeply traumatized and unstable girls: the first, Bibi, has had violent and possessive tendencies from a young age – and her guardian has long feared that she is missing something that makes a person human, leaving her with no one who is truly looking out for her. And the second, Amy, isa girl whose mother tried to kill her when she was at a young age who suffers from severe self-image and abandonment issues as a result, despite having lived with an aunt who loves her as her own daughter after the incident. This could be the setup for a deeply disturbing horror manhwa, but I Love Amy perfectly balances out the dark nature of its story with a cutesy art style, an overall comedic tone, and a story full of characters who are willing to take risks for those they love. In this way, I Love Amy achieves the best of both worlds, using comedy and the disarming nature of its bright-colored art to bridge the massive gap between the horrific nature of some of what happens in the story, and what it is ultimately a delightfully sweet romance. It's a balancing act that, despite having read through the manhwa three times now, I'm still not quite sure how it pulls off so fantastically.

If I had to take a guess at what why it all works so well, it's that the absurdity of how well Amy and Bibi fit together in of itself encompasses all the tones of the manga: their relationship is comedic, disturbing, and ultimately sweet. Bibi is selfish, and sometimes displays downright psychopathic impulses, but she genuinely is capable of offering unconditional love and simply was never given the opportunity to. Amy, despite being surrounded by people who love her for many years, is incapable of valuing herself due to her childhood trauma, and has never been able to fully accept that love. Bibi needs someone who values themselves so little that they're willing to stick with her, despite all the red flags, long enough to see that there's more to her than her a selfish rich girl, and Amy needs someone who can break through all her self-hatred with a possessiveness that refuses to let her retreat inwards at every opportunity and forces her to accept what someone else sees in her. In reality, two people so unstable relying on each other would probably only make things worse for both of them, but there's something unbelievably joyous in seeing two characters who are so deeply emotionally scarred help each other heal due to how they perfectly counteract the other's trauma. If you've ever cared about someone who is a bit of Bibi or an Amy, I think you'll find this story will fill your heart up.

The author describes the series as a story where the yandere is healed through love, and I think this was well achieved. The characters are lovely and well-developed, and the story never feels boring or tired. The art-style is very unique and fresh. I couldn't stop reading it after I started, and left very satisfied with the ending. I recommend this series for everyone who loves GL and wants an interesting and fun read, with some heartfelt moments and a heartwarming message (love heals 🩷). Amy is a shy girl with complex trauma that has low-self-esteem and believes that she should never fall in love with anyone.Bibi is a yandere rich girl that behaves in psychopathic ways and is obsessed with living the perfect love story with a popular boy. The two of them end up hanging out together and developing a strong connection in the mean time.

What makes this story unique is how well their actions and trauma is addressed and handled. We receive a lot of context from the past that deepens the characters' personalities and make them relatable. In my opinion, the events that happen in the present are also very well presented, which makes up for an entertaining and compelling story.

At first glance, I had fairly low expectations. This was my first dive into anything labeled manhwa, and the art style wasn't 100% up my alley... but then I started reading. Damn this was such an excellent read! The characters are what they seem and more, and I love that the story isn't shy to show that. BiBi is the crazy yandere girl that everyone avoids, and that is not hyperbolic. She has some actual issues and shows psychopathic tendencies. While she is terribly flawed, she is very intelligent and fun to watch as she learns more about herself and those around her.. people she nevereven acknowledged before meeting Amy. Amy seems like a simple character at first: shy, quiet, and easy to manipulate. It's as you learn about her character and her past that she really begins to shine. Confusion becomes conclusions in the sense of, "Of course she would respond that way." While each other side character is interesting, I really feel like mentioning Camilla as well. She is so complex, as she fits the popular cheerleader trope while being so much more. It's hard to figure out exactly what she feels about Amy, but learning about her and her past with Amy makes things more clear.

The events in this story are really silly, interesting, and shocking. Learning about Snowball is a great example of "of course," "what the fuck," and "how are you okay with this?!" that will be experienced over and over again. BiBi makes the story hard to predict at times and overly predictable other times. The events are so intriguing, as watching how a psychopath learns and grows during her chase is never quite easy to follow. The side stories and background characters are as interesting as the main story, and the various circumstances kept me reading well after I should have.

9/10 I HIGHLY recommend reading this story! It is such a dark and fun adventure with heavy themes and light humor blending together. It is such a special story that really deserves any renown it can. I will likely read this story again, as the journey is just that incredible.

This manhwa is an absolute masterpiece. Part of me is saying that because I'm American and I like seeing stuff set in the United States, but that's definitely not all. It's ruthlessly engaging from start to finish, and honestly, it's the best thing I've ever read. Undeniably my favorite. I was worried because I'm not that into yuri, but after like 3 chapters I completely forgot that it was. It's both extremely integral to the story and doesn't matter at all. I'm definitely more of a rom-com freak, and this scratched every itch that a good rom-com does. The romance felt real, but it wasn'tboring; it was enhanced by the characters. You can feel their personalities, especially Bibi. Even the side characters are more than just clichés and get lots of chapters for themselves; without Camilla, this manhwa would not be as good as it is. The art is perfect for the story; it's cartoonish, but the way the characters are drawn and ESPECIALLY the backgrounds fill me with so much joy. I would be surprised if anybody with an open mind read this and didn't, at very least, like it.

At first I scrolled past this manga when I was searching for something to read but for some reason I came back and read the synopsis and I was like, wait it's a yuri?? Since the synopsis was so interesting I gave it a try with no expectations at all but oh my god I am so glad I gave this a chance! I absolutely love the art style, every chapter kept me wanting more and kept me so intrigued by every character's backstory or getting more information on why they are the way they are. I enjoyed that the story was a mix ofcomedy and very serious topics at the same time, I feel that it was done really well. I felt like I needed to write a review because I haven't seen many people speak about this before.

What a magnificent work to read. Across 46 chapters, I was completely entertained from beginning to end. I started with zero expectations, fully expecting it to be just another generic, ordinary romance story with nothing special to offer, and I was surprised in every possible way. The story builds complex, emotionally broken characters and makes you connect with every detail, every silence, and every glance. The relationship between Amy and Bibi is intense, delicate, and deeply human; seeing them together is genuinely beautiful, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. It’s a read that makes you uncomfortable, moves you emotionally, and keeps you hooked, showing thatlove can also be strange, confusing, and still meaningful. Each chapter pulls you deeper into the story, and before you realize it, you’re completely immersed in that world. A work that definitely leaves a mark and stays in your mind long after it ends. A quick read, and one I absolutely don’t regret starting

If you appreciate a good romance with an open mind, I strongly recommend giving it a read. You won’t regret it. Read Rn!

some of the best works i ever read, i just finished it now (i dont read the bonus chapters yet but im already crying tons for a while) this is a work with so much personality, and isnt obvious at all, isnt a high school story, isnt a common yandere story (a tropus that i like a lot)... it doesnt even have a dramatic turn out or a boiling point in the story, even if it feels like its coming sometimes through the reading, and this is the beauty of i love amy, its not a common fairy tail, and it shows you other perspectives aboutlove, that also say love is ordinary

i love A LOT each characters individual issues and traumas and how this develops, and the conclusion of many of them is pretty realistic, i feel like i can see their lifes forever, i identify myself in each one of the characters at some point

this is so precious to me that i could put it on a jar

the artstyle shocked me a bit when i started, im not used to manhwa or webtoon, the vertical construction of pages and the artstyle itself, but i think this made possible many incredible panels and designs that i quickly got used to, and it fits so well with everything at the end

give it a shot, even if you think this kind of story isnt your type

More like "I hate Bibi" 'cause that's what I kept thinking while reading it Any time the story threatened to engage me – and to be fair, Amy's backstory is pretty engaging – I kept being reminded how shitty Beatrice was and how she kept getting away with it Why does anyone like yanderes I swear to God. Who looks at someone like that and thinks anything but "she should be in prison by now?" At least the art style is cool and the "America as viewed by Koreans" setting is kinda funny I'm just padding here until the site stops lecturing me about how this review needsmore info. Brevity is the soul of wit, kiss my ass
