Description
This could be any girl. Imagine being a heroine of a love story. Hatori also believed that one day she would get married to her childhood friend, Rita.

But that's not how the world works! This is a hilarious comedy that honestly paints a painful unrequited love story of this young girl!

At first, the manga was interesting. It was different than the typical shoujos. I was happy that the heroine decided to start a relationship with the other guy but when I read the raws, what the actual bloody f***? I'm not even gonna put this under a spoiler tag because you should know before you read this. The heroine is pathetic as hell. She's so wishy washy. When things finally seemed good, she throws it all away and goes back to that asshole
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
who she ends up with
. This was a complete waste of time and I'm glad that I decided to see the spoilers. The manga was going in such a good direction but the mangaka decided to ruin that with the shallow characters.

 HEAR ME OUT

Okay, for all of you out there who has already read this manga, you might be thinking WHAT IN THE F*CK'S TARNATION IS GOING ON HERE. For everyone who hasn't read it yet, give it a try before you let other people's review convince you it isn't good. Yea, I was cursing at this manga when I was reading it but I thought it was kind of special. Not your everyday cliche.. At first I was like what the hell is the mangaka doing.. but I started to notice the meaning was deeper. Maybe she was trying to show us that when we're at that age, we were reckless and confused. Rita was confused. Hatori was confused. And that's why they two timed. They didn't understand what their really meant. HEAR ME OUT.

What caught me first about this manga was the drawing. The heroine isn't always pretty. She can look so ridiculous but it's still so funny. It gets me cracking every time. But as time went on, I REALLY WANTED TO FCKING SHAKE HER. The number 1 character that I like the most is the supporting best friend "Nakajima". She's the smartest one out of the bunch but no one ever takes her advice..it's maddening

Hatori: This crazy woman! WTH IS WRONG WITH HER. WHY CAN'T SHE GIVE UP. I mean I thought she was so strong for not giving up at first but he is a TOTAL jerk..He doesn't even LOVE her as a woman. More like a sister. They both don't understand that. When she finally..FINALLY starts falling in love with Hiromitsu..Rita was like..I love you..REALLY? FCKING REALLY NOW?
Rita: HE IS SO SELFISH. HE CAN'T MAKE UP MIND. He doesn't care about anyone else's happiness but his own...knowing Hatori will ALWAYS be there for him no matter what and at his beck and call..-_- He's just a lonely, cruel boy
Hiromitsu: My only one complaint is that he was messing around at first..but he fell so in love with her in the end (so far)...ugh I hope Hatori ends up with him or I'll punch a b*tch. She's really stupid with her feelings -_-

 Stupid Rita and Hatori!!!!!!

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Just got a word from the RAWS.
Hatori you two timing b*tch!!!!!!!!!
You've hurt Hiromitsu in the end.
You've broke up with Hiromitsu and didn't even care.
All that's in your head is Rita who continuously hurt you and give you a change of heart.
Are you a masochist or something.
The reason why i've read this in the end is because i'm rooting for Hiromitsu-kun...
You really don't deserve a nice guy like him...

It's not being honest with your feelings at all!!!!
Your just delusional, selfish and a b*tch for hurting Adachi and Hiromitsu...
Although Adachi has her own flaws for being a hypocrite by saying that it's okay if Rita falls in love with Hatori and don't mind at all. But in the end Adachi got really scared and possessive.
And Hiromitsu for being frivolous and a jerk for picking up people because his interested in them.
Although Hiromitsu became serious and rejected all his flings for Hatori.
But the two of them are normal human beings and Love really change people.

I'm soooo dropping this manga.
I was never into two-timing heroine and hero from the beginning.
Hatori got annoying till the end.
It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE REALLY IS A FAILURE AS A HEROINE!!!!!!

 Potential but...

It had potential in the beginning but after reading it for a few more chapters (like past chapter 6 or 7)...it just went downhill. Every character in this manga is horrible. They are all terrible people. Hatori is an idiot, selfish and mean. Adachi is weak and can't do stuff on her own even though it seems like she might be the 'strong' one. Rita is a two-timing bastard who can't decide on his feelings. Wants to stay by Adachi but doesn't want Hatori to go anywhere else.

I wish Hatori would just fall out of love with Rita and go for someone else. Maybe that would make the story better but at the moment, it's complete crap.

Sometimes, its difficult to come across a good shoujo and this one, not a very good shoujo. There are better out there but I'll continue reading it to see the outcome (even if I mostly just skim the chapters)

Okay. At first this series was pretty good. It used the typical shoujo cliches and turned it into something refreshing. The main character, Hatori was amusing and I enjoyed her interactions with her friend, Nakajima and with Hiromitsu. Both of which turned out to have a surprising amount of depth. Rita, on the other hand,

turned out to be a total cheating scumbag asshat
but it was okay, because Hatori was

able to move on from that and make better choices


HOWEVER. It all goes downhill after a certain point... Basically all of Hatori's character development is reversed. According to this story, SPOILER SPOILER

Even if you're a cheating scumbag asshat, you'll STILL get the happy ending
. And I really didn't like how Adachi just
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
became so pathetic. Before, she still had her own goals and a certain strength, but then... ugh.


Heroine Shikkaku was a disappointment. It had the right components for a decent, humorous and fresh shoujo, but it just had to go and be like every other shoujo on the shelf. It had its moments but towards the end, it got much too repetitive and it just... degenerated.

Ah, well. Gonna go eat some happiness then.

 Original, some downfalls

This story has achieved levels of originality, but its price is beginning to show.

I agree, the characters are worsening the more we see their personalities. I don't deny that. Still, I take most of it as successful parodying. I doubt the mangaka ever had the intention to showcase ideal heros/heroines and love interests alike. If it were to be flowery shoujo idealism or even realistic, it wouldn't be original as it is (for better or for worse). Hatori is probably the only main shoujo character I've seen that's a selfish hard-to-relate antagonist.

Though I don't like the distasteful personalities of Rita, Adachi or Hatori, I'm glad to see a different light shed on fictional characters in common context - light rarely shown, if not warped to make us like and dislike certain characters more.

Depending on your perspective - it's either a parody or a crapheap of disappointing MCs. I'd say the former.

I'm still questioning how things will end up but in all, will read it with my full attention to the end.

I really liked this series at first. Hatori's facial expressions were really funny and I liked how she was slightly self-aware. I could really relate to Hatori; every girl has that mean-out-to-get-you side and feels like their the best match for their crush especially in high-school. I was hoping it'd be more about how she gets past the fact she's not his heroine anymore and internally struggles with moving on to finding a new love...

But then, she confessed. Cue the love-triangle and tears. Rita went from being tolerable to being a total sleaze-bag. This manga would improve a lot if Hatori falls out of love with Rita and discovers what a jerk he is. She gets more and more pathetic as the story goes on, and become less and less relatable.

I feel like Rita is pretty much using her, well not even using, more like he won't ever like her the way Hatori likes him.

I want Hatori in the end to realize that she doesn't need Rita to be happy and maybe hook up with Kousuke (if she has to...I'd prefer if she didn't pair up with anyone). Her friend doesn't seem interested in anyone, either, so why does she need to get a bf?

Edit: This story would be AWESOME if Chapter 16 were the last chapter, but it's not. Too bad (I've read the ending spoilers)...
