@bunny pink, nice to see you are not ranting.......hmm?. Well, personally, i don't have anything against Shinjo Mayu but neither do I like rape manga. However, there's one thing that struck me, it was pretty ballsy of Aine to not let the fact that she was raped ruin the rest of her life. Some women aren't dat strong enuf to 4get such a painful event. I want to believe that is the msg the mangaka wanted us to have.

Some of the comments are too critical, people mainly comment on the lameness of her characters or forceful sex, but everyone knows what to expect from Mayu's works and it is exactly why her works are being read. Personally I couldn't get past a few chapters, it simply got boring, all the drama isn't very dramatic. As for the smut, the sex scenes are so repetitive and boring too, there are plenty of other mangas with much better smut content. what I do actually dislike is the ART. Seriously, what's up with the guy's hair and overall proportions? the female is only half size but surprise surprise has a pretty amazing d-cup bust! With such proportions their sex positions would be impossible to implement...

 I'M AGAINST SEXISM

Ok,let's get something straight.I respect Mayu Shinjo as a manga artist,and I don't hate her or anything.But,as a feminist and a person who knows when something is not wright,I have to say that Mayu Shinjo's works are: UNREALISTIC,UNMORAL,SADISTIC,MYSOGYNISTIC (hatred toward women),and not to mention the huge amount of SEXUAL VIOLENCE,or in other words,RAPE.:-(
I know that some people might think that it is ridiculous to discuss about a perverted manga,because the genre tells us what this kind of manga is all about.But,there is a huge difference between "erotic love" and "rape".I've read a couple of Shinjo's works (which I feel a bit ashamed),they include LOVE CELEB,KAIKAN PHRASE and HAOU AIREN.Most of the girls in Shino's mangas are so stupid it hurts,with a brain size of a walnut.They are so naive that a 3 year old couldn't compare,and so weak that it makes me wanna scream.:-@
The guys must always be soo handsome,popular,athletic,intelligent...actually,Mayu Shinjo makes them look so perfect in comparison to the girl characters that it makes me wanna puke.And I especially hate the same themes in her mangas:the guys always appear nice and charming in the beggining,then later show their true sadistic nature.I would say that the most disguisting male character to me was deffinatelly Hakuron from "Haou Airen".He was everything I hate:
cruel,manipulative,two-faced,and a real rapist.:-@ I felt misery,anger&hatred at the same time while reading it. I was so glad that Hakuron got killed in the end becouse he totally deserved it.
It makes me sad that Mayu Shinjo writes stuff like this,and I think that her works are offensive to both women and men.I think that every normal guy could never do such a thing to a woman he loves.
And there is also a question for these mangas: Would the main female character love the main guy if he wasn't soo handsome and popular? Would she let him rape her if he was an old,ugly and wrinkly man? Of course not,but it seems that Mayu Shinjo tries to prove in her mangas that "As long if the guy is handsome&perfect,he can do with me what ever he wants.Even if it means raping and hurting me." :-(
Please,don't make me laugh and throw up at the same time. :-@
This was my personal opinion about her mangas,but I didn't mean to offend the readers of her works.If you like Mayu Shinjo's works,feel free to read them.Everyone has the right to read what they want and have their own opinion.

You either love this manga or you don't.

I will answer this comments about sex...well this IS about teens people! I know not all teens are like that, but this manga was not just about sex. There was lots of drama here and I cried. If you don't like it then don't read it, but don't take the enjoyment for those of us who like it.

Thank you Mayu for writing and drawing this work!

I have to agree at the comment below. This manga is all about sex. Suprisingly this manga was popular with the young girls which is allarming. IMO I think this manga is created to fulfill girl's sexual fantasies or perversion. Anyway the plot is cliche and repetitive; girl gets bullied guy rescue girl, girl was hurt guy avenge girl. There is no progress with the character and as the story continues
it gets worst.

I recommend this manga to all shinjo mayu fan's who love weak female who gets rape by her partner and some villains.

All I can say to the next readers ; read this manga at your own risk.

Ew. gross. disgusting. horrible. immature. unrealistic.
after reading this, i feel like giving it a 10. on the other (and sadly nonexistent) end of the chart.
You can't hate on me for saying this if you're a Shinjo-addict, because i've read most of her works, and more besides. I know my smut.
You know how there's music you feel like you have to dance to? i found manga i feel i have to puke to. both this one and haou airen, which is another
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
piece of crap i can't stand. who honestly reads raperaperaperaperape and likes it? answer, sickos and phycopaths, that's who.

beyond that, i'm a feminist. screw males. who do you think let you live? who's smart enough to live longer in the first place? SM's girls are wimpy, fake, and rediculous. oh, speaking of SM, her female characters are almost always the perfect fit for the m in sm.
i think shinjo mayu is bad for my heart (and my stomach). a 1 from me.

Okay, so...I've just started to read this and I'm not sure what I should say. Maybe my opinion my change if I get to the end or something. The only character that I'm not satisified, right from the start, is Aine. I know all girls are weak and so on but that's not necessarily true either. At first, I thought that I can accept the fact that she's weak and not strong minded. But as I get into the middle of the story, I just realized that she's just running around in circles. She never change, even from the start. She's still having that "I must be a burden, so I need to give up!" and starts to run away. Although I think she braves up a little with the Ayako case. (I really feel like slapping Ayako, really!)

I hope she'll grow stronger, instead of just counting on Sakuya for protection or giving up Sakuya for the sake of protecting him in her own way or something. I mean, Sakuya will be hurt too!
Instead, I hope to see that she'll protect their love and not giving up!! *sighs* I better continue reading it. tsk tsk.

Wow, what drugs was I on to ever think this was good?
Someone please teach feminist studies in Japan, because the sexism in this was horrific.
Seriously, what was I thinking rating it well ??!

sure aine is a little weak however it seems that every single person wants a super strong woman. not every woman is strong even in real life.... especially in real life. and there are parts were aine despite being a weak lead actually shows her strength
sakuya is a typical hot possessive main.

its a little cliche but it is a great overall. i love it and have reread it a couple times.

the best part of the series is how much sakuya and aine love eachother.

its a wonderful series dont let these other reviews stop you from reading

Here we go~!!
I comment on mangas like these, because they are near and dear to my heart. And if you ever read this, I beg of you, read the whole thing! It is not a spoiler, but in my own opinion I shed some light on two viewpoints good and bad.
If you are a female, there is no resisting it! Unless you are of another orientation, Sakuya’s captivating power-playing, his absolute way with words, and last but not least, his practical sensibility shines through in this witty tale of an unrealistic chance of fair meeting and the string tugging continuing of it all. When I read this, sometime ago, and trust me I’ve re-read it, I couldn’t stop. It was just so alluring to me. Not the love or the band, but that man!! And not in an infatuated sort of way… It is probably because he kept me guessing; I didn’t know if he was going to bash in somebody’s skull, verbally humiliate them, be a brat about it and use influence to crush them… I had no idea, but what I DID know was that he would take care of them. Just like Steven Segal, the bad guy was going to go down!

Now, you crazy kids keep ragging on Aine, but I have some much earned respect for her. For once in my reading, I found a heroine, in love, that wasn’t always second guessing herself!! Jeez! Because if you love them and you trust them, why are you over here bugging out about how you don’t know how faithful they are! Now, I was filled with excitement when I saw that this dynamic duo wouldn’t have that petty problem…. It pisses me OFF when I see it… I personally don’t like Aine…. That bug eyed little creep… But it gave me relief that she had SOME good attribute. Other than her hokey pokey lyrics a five year old who knew about sex could write.

The only thing I dislike about this book in general is something that all artist go through over time. We see Mayu Shinjou’s work evolve into a more modern concise style of drawing much different than that of her old style. It has a precedent, yet light, sort of feeling on the paper. That is why I deeply admire her drawing style. And it is just because of the fan service… The bug eyed little creep can go to the bad place for all I care. But I always take into consideration that in many ways Sakuya is more of the main character… In the anime he sure was… Even when it came to Aine’s world, the bands world, EVERYTHING revolved around him. Which I thought was wonderful!!

Mayu’s work is not for the female sexist, nor female activist out there… To put it simply, it’ll; just pis you off… But it’s a cute quirky love story that makes you think. Because even though it is very, very unrealistic… There are some key elements that are quite real in regards to this day and age.

Relatively modern and long lasting, a repetitive manga that has turns and twist like you could believe, it is on my favorite list and is also on my hearts love list. I’ll never forget its title.
Sensual Phrase is a must read for flighty girls in, or curious about love.
