Where it came from
It's Not Like That!, originally titled Sonna no Kanjinai, is a shojo manga series authored by the mangaka Izumi Kaneyoshi. Serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Bessatsu Friend during the early 2000s, the series follows the developing romantic tension between its central characters. It emerged during a period of high popularity for school-life romance manga, fitting into the aesthetic and narrative trends of contemporary Japanese shojo publications.
Izumi Kaneyoshi is known for her character-driven storytelling, and in this volume, she focuses on the nuanced emotional shifts between protagonists who struggle to reconcile their personal feelings with their outward actions. The artwork follows standard genre conventions of the time, utilizing expressive character designs and atmospheric paneling to emphasize romantic development. While it remains a staple of Kaneyoshi's early bibliography, it is primarily recognized for its contribution to the serialized romance genre in shojo anthologies of that era.
