From StarryHeaven: Touzuka High School is a public school with a pretty low grade point average. One day, a girl who has been expelled from the state’s top school, St. Katria Girls’ School, transfers in… her name is Kawai Maria. The reason for her expulsion was “violence against the teacher.” Because of her non-adorned, straight comments, Maria starts to become isolated from her class… What is hidden in her past and what will happen to her?

For gods sake people.
MANGA ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE REALISTIC.
-----
Anywho, this manga is quite interesting for the first few volumes, then loses its apeal later on. Its still a great read if you're looking for something to interest you, but don't expect it to become one of your favourites.

| hmm...quality is decreasing by Caronroz on August 16th, 2010, 10:24am |

I used to LOVE this manga and read the scanlation as soon as it was out, but now something's changed in the manga that I'm not as obssesive about reading it. Consequently, I can no longer give it a 10. If the quality continues to decline, my rating will drop accordingly.
I hope the Japanese readers voiced something similiar so that by volume 8, the quality goes back up to its original awesomeness.

| It started off really great... by shoujo22 on August 6th, 2010, 7:09am |
|
...then quickly degenerated to a heavy, gloomy, overly dramatic story saturated with the most annoying shoujo clichés on the face of the earth (i.e. crying every five minutes, love rivals with a huge vendetta against the main character, random comedic moments thrown into random sequences in an attempt to lighten the mood BECAUSE OF all the drama, etc.).
As far as the bullying goes, the likelihood of an entire class plus the teacher turning against one student is pretty non-existent. Many of things that were said and done to Maria, however, are actually pretty spot on when compared to some of the actual bullying that goes on in the Japanese school system. That's not to say that Japanese students are horrible, because bullies are bullies no matter where they come from. However, group conformity and cultural homogeneity are both very important aspects of the Japanese culture (which actually isn't a bad thing majority of the time), so standing out too much or being 'different' can result in some pretty severe treatment. Bullying there is on an entirely different level than anything that most people are used to--and becoming progressively worse as of late. The bullying that she suffers is a bit on the light side when compared to the real deal. I'm dead serious...
Also, Maria's odd mindset and questionable tolerance towards mental, verbal, and physical abuse basically stem from some serious trauma that she suffered as a child. I've been reading the releases in Margaret magazine, so at least that much makes sense to me now. What's killing me is that the author totally could have used all those events to her advantage and made for an exceptional story--had she stuck with her original formula. But she instead opted to take the standard shoujo drama route and put a damper on Maria's unique demeanor and outlook on life. How disappointing...

| unbelievably nasty bullies by fictionalscience on July 28th, 2010, 6:39am |
|
| It's very unrealistic how nasty her teacher & classmates are. The school quarrels are pretty over the top and silly. But I like some of the themes in the manga and the level of complexity/twistedness of some of the characters. Sometimes the "burn the witch" attitude is pretty unbearable for me to keep reading without getting overly upset though. |

| Started off well but, ... by littleprince on July 2nd, 2010, 12:51am |

The beginning was appealing. However as the series goes on the behaviors and conversations tend to become irrational and stupid. I really can't keep up with the logic, and I don't think a whole class + their teacher + could get so cheap as to join in this type of conversation.
Its a bit too childish? maybe? like they're all in elementary school or something. And just when I thought the bullying cliche was over it started in another way.
But if you're the type that likes heroine resists bullying etc. you could give it a try. |

| Had promise...but failed to deliver by cswave on June 23rd, 2010, 6:04am |

Started out really good but then gradually got worse. It becomes overly dramatic and the heroine who was originally a strong character turns out to be ignorant and delusional and has a extremely warped perception. You can argue that it's because she is humble...but there's a limit to how humble one can be before they're mistaken for being stupid. What's worse is that she's stubborn too, so she's set on being in denial about almost everything. Frankly, this manga becomes very irritating to read. I'd recommend reading the first 15 chapters or so and then just drop it because the plot is going nowhere.

| Wah so good >< by black.rOses on May 13th, 2010, 12:29am |

I just love this manga! The girl is always composed and super honest. Other call it personality problems I call it honesty. She doesn't go all two-faced, more like she tells them what's in her mind and all. VERYY TOUGH. At first I would've thought of her gothic but now I do see how beautiful she is(as a manga character). This is definitely a must read!!!

She's cool, blunt, not wimpy, strong, cute!! she's so cool!!! and Megu... GOD i love him!!! i do like the other guy but we all knew that she would be with Megu, and he wasn't much of a threat, its not much of a love triangle we just knkw the other guy is crushin on her. But we all know who wwe all like better, the other guy is more of a friend

| highly original by Hellsayer on April 12th, 2010, 1:05pm |

the characters are completely different in style than most shoujo manga. if you prefer manga that constantly have a light and happy mood, don't read this. the main character is hot, unlike most shoujos, and she has a brain!! XD I dont see why anyone could give this anything below a five, but the 27 people that did must like stupid protagonists.

| SIMPLY LOVED IT by honey_67 on January 6th, 2010, 6:57pm |

I can't get enough of how brilliant this manga is! For instance the art!!!-most times I have to look at it twice, just to lap up the nicely done character poses! And the humour is fantastic too. I love the plot line and I love how the mangaka discusses the complexity of each individuals' personality. And I love the unique characters in the story too!
overall, loved it.
*waits anxiously for new volumes* XD
