Description
From Kodansha:
Takao Kasuga is a bookworm. And his favorite book right now is Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil. While the young man may often be seen lost in thought as he rabidly consumes page after page, Takao is not much of a student. Actually when we are first introduced to the middle school teen, we find him sneaking some reading as he receives an F on a recent language exam. Nakagawa is known as the class bully.
When she is not receiving zeros she is usually muttering profanities to those around her. While she doesn't care for books or their readers, she does have a thing for troublemakers... More...

A very dark and twisted manga that's nonetheless compelling. I read it in bursts and I really enjoyed it, though if you're not going to like it if you're looking for a standard manga romance plot. If you like stories about characters with deep psychological problems then this will be right up your alley.
While it got off to a slow start, the series has definitely taken off in recent chapters and is hard to put down till there's no more left to read. The subject matter though becomes increasingly dark however, and might not be for everyone.
Its a good manga. Its refreshing due to the dark nature that you rarely see, but not too dark where it pisses you off and makes you want to smack something. I like how the story progresses and how the characters develop.
When I read into a few chapters of this manga, I though, this is sick.
But after I've read until chapter 26

I swear to god this manga is batshit insane, but I seriously started sweating reading it because I found it to be REALLY exciting (in a weird kind of way). As others said the main lead is pretty pathetic but as long as you fastforward the self-deprecating bits this is a pretty unique story. I enjoyed reading it, can't wait for the conclusion.
I'm usually not one for the dark/twisted genre but found this one to be superb. Odd to see such a low rating, I found this to be miles more interesting then "Onani Master Kurosawa".
Recommended if you're in for a wicked ride, but do keep it mind it's pretty self-destructive if I had to call it a name.

Its dark twisted i love the character development and how it manages to make every chapter interesting
im sticking with this until its finished, i've never read something like this before. awesome and refreshing.

I read till ch20 and the story keeps dragging painfully. "I'm a perv! I'm a perv" -- grow a spine and move on!
It's disappointing to think that this was written & drawn by the same guy who did Yuutai Nova, which was much more imaginative and promising.

when the first time i read, i think may be this manga is very interesting, because it has type is Psychological and the art is not very bad, may be like Koharu no Hibi.
but now i think what the hell i'm reading, the boy is loser or some thing ...., the girl who stading before him, love him and ...., so why his chose is the girl who behind him, i don't know and don't want to know anymore, this manga now is boring with me =_=

I don't know who disgusts me more, Nakamura and her cynical view of Kasuga and humanity, or Kasuga, who is such a pathetic (insert curse word here). In any case, this story is intriguing. But I prefer Sundome.
