Like badkitty and amilah said, it's the typical girl swooning over the moody jerk type story. The narrative of this is nearly identical to all of this mangaka's works. Innocent girl starts to fall for the moody "black hair-kun" nice blonde guy enters the picture, girl spends the rest of the manga crying over the the former guy. *groan*

At first I was impressed w/ the fact that Neiro seemed strong in will and body, but after her incident w/ Shin she turns into a whimpering little girl who can't get over her first crush. Also I don't like the way she treats Tokio. She treats him like a consolation prize and when Tokio doesn't act like a complete moron and starts to question Neiro about this, Neiro does what she does throughout the whole story, starts to cry and beg. Yet, after all this, she still continues to fawn over Shin (wth). Finally, what's up w/ everyone letting Shin get away w/ acting like a total jerk this whole series. He hurts his best friend out of spite, makes Neiro look like an idiot, and then spends the rest of the series trying (rather openly and aggressively) to get her back.

Still the manga is not w/o it's good points. It's pretty funny at times, and the supporting cast is all interesting. Also, the mangaka does poke fun at some of her own cliches.


EDIT: I read the summaries of all the untranslated chapters, and it doesn't really get any better. It's the same thing over and over. Shin gets aggressive. Neiro wavers. Tokio gets upset. Neiro cries. Repeat ad infinitum. I don't expect Neiro to be some pragmatic cynic, but it's the fact that she doesn't even try to move on. She still lets Shin get the better of her and melts like putty every time he looks her way. While Tokio is just kinda... there. He might as well not even exist as he's only there to remind readers how swell a guy he is (That doesn't really matter if the heroine [his supposed girlfriend] treats him like some sexless shoulder to lean on).

All the cliches can be forgiven if they're used effectively. Unfortunately they aren't here.

I remember when I first started reading this about a year ago, I was totally in love with it<3
Then at chap. 14 scans came out that didn't make sense( the translations were awful Dx) and I decided to give up on it.

BUT NOW!!
THE SCANS HAVE BEEN REDONE!!
AND I LOVE IT AGAIIIINNN <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

C: Characters= ALL AMAZING. THey all have their own background and feelings that motivate their actions. It's an awesome bonus that the characters are all real and not just thrown in to get the plot moving ^^!!!

Art= Stunning. Leave it at that.

Plot= AWESOME! Strong willed girls FTW!! >! And also physically strong ones xD> This is almost like Oresama Teacher, just more shoujo-eeefied! I LOVE IT


This is just amazing! I'm SO HAPPY they redid the scans, because now I'm really enjoying this manga again ^^

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPPPTERRRR<3333.

So read it.

Just because someone is strong physically doesn't mean she's just as tough emotionally. Cut her some slack.



That said, I'm rooting for Tokio, but I'm prepared to be disappointed. Shoujos never seem to favor the steadfast, good guys. No, the story's not that original (so far), but it is funny and the art's good. I will give it a higher rating though if the manga dares to go against type and Tokio actually gets the girl.

Oh Gosh! If it was not for the stupid, idiotic and hilarious moments of RANDOMNESS in this manga I would have not pick it up!

Seriously, this manga is somewhat you can call cliched and not very different. Plus, there is rarely any depth in the plot or characters anyway, anyhow. More problematic is the way the story progresses too fast, too quick that it doesn't leave much impression whatsoever. SERIOUSLY! The manga PROGRESSES at a speed that is too high! Sometimes it is RUSHED and makes very little sense!

But again, it's SO RANDOM! And I just can't help laughing at least one at the stupidity of each every chapter.

The comments and thoughts might be pretty diverse. But well, I read it pretty enjoyably

[Update] Oh man, this love triangle is getting funnier and funnier! I hope that for the last 3 volumes, this fun won't die down for anything cheesy. This is fun! There's no one to dislike = nice!

[More Update] Okay, I think I can kinda put this as a completed series. I was a bit furious as the translators had been dead for almost a year. However, I found some further chapters, raws, and summaries online so I got the ideas of how the manga ended. It was nice. It was a fun ride. It was not too peculiar but it was good because it was fun and sometimes unexpected although predictable. It gave me this nostalgic feeling like I was in primary and secondary schools all over again. Back then there were a lot of shoujos with love triangles. No matter how much I loved the hothead, act-before-thinking, and idiotic A, I just could not help myself supporting for the cool, composed and all-rounded B. It was a nice feeling haha.

It's rare for me to read on a female lead I actually like.. This one is a strong yet gentle female that knows what she wants and when she wants it.. It's the guys that seem to be annoying, but then again I guess there would be no story otherwise. Artistry is okay except they look too skinny.

It's a good story and I like it very much!
It makes me cry every time when I read how Shin breaks up with her. It's very emotional and the feelings that a real person would feel in this situations shine through.
I feel very connected to Neiro, the author has managed to make her that likable!
The jokes are very amusing and have me rolling on the floor in laughter sometimes. ^_^)
I wish it would be updated faster though.

I like the basic plot where a ex delinquent girl goes to a new school to make a new beginning, and I like that she's a tough girl, but Neiro annoys me. She's too driven by "love". I hate heroines that fall in love with a guy straight away and become one of those love dorks. That part of her kinda pisses me off.

At first it was a strong girl fighting for justice and finding love, and it was funny too. But then it turns into your typical shoujo girl who can't get over one stupid guy and cries every 3 seconds....so I stopped reading it. I'd give it a one but its not even worth rating.

The female lead is incredibly dense & just not very intelligent, but she makes up for that with a great personality. Straightforward, honest, genuine, kind, and just plain good-hearted. She was an adorable cinnabun. What made her even better was how strong she was. Like, physically. To the pt of reminding me of shounen OP heroes.

The flipside to her nearly feminist, strong, likable character was how she was presented by the mangaka/other characters. This negated any gender role progressive leanings I thought existed here. Her negative traits, like her lack of intelligence, are the focal pts. To the extent you start to wonder how she functions as a human being when she is so Cutely Shoujo Oblivious.

Meanwhile, her kindness & good character are only highlighted with regards to how these traits are noticed by the love interests. Even her ability to defend herself & even defend others is painted as a negatve trait. She is reduced to being just a 'violent girl'. Every time she succeeds in rescuing herself in any situation where the damsel in distress would have to accept her fate & wait for someone else to save her, it is a moment of horrified astonishment for the majority.



She's equipped with the proper skills to protect not only herself, but others. Why should she waste them in order to 'be more feminine'? Yet this is a repeating theme. One of the male interests lingers over how he has negatively impacted her bc she had to rescue herself. Never mind that it was her choice to do so, within her abilities to do so, & the only thing hurt by her doing so was his pride. And apparently her 'femininity'. Bc she wouldn't 'have to be that way'/'violent'/actively defending herself & others, if the man were stronger. Bc that's a man's/woman's role.

Our FMC's character aside, it was a bit frustrating bc the plot is pretty predictable when it's not slapstick/hodgepodge crack. Which. I'm sure is due in part to the age of this story. 2008 was almost a decade ago - shoujo has changed & tropes have accumulated. Still, this was a contributing factor to my low score.

Anywho. Maybe I'll update this at a later date & rethink this score, but for now...I am frustrated, irritated, & Disappointed.

I'm generally not very picky with manga but after reading through the first 12 or so chapters of this one I just stopped.

With a promising strong female character, it was just a complete let down when she became such a weak girl. Though shes physically strong she lacks the emotional strength to get over her ordeal and her constant fawning leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
