Description
Hina moves back to her old home town only to find that the high school is run by two opposing factions, and students identify themselves based on the color of their school uniforms: Black for the followers of the ostentatious, violent Nishizaki, and white for the followers of the misanthropic, clean-freak Isshiki. And, as if it wasn't complicated enough, there are the "grays," who wear their own clothing, deciding to be their own people. Hina finds herself stuck between the leaders of the two factions, and it seems to be turning violent.

Also contains a oneshot: 3 Days

I hate these open endings.. they kill me inside. gehhh... they leave this taste in my mouth like bad ramen, or the longing for more like when I don't have enough sushi.

overall a nice, short manga, but it left me wanting more.

i enjoyed it a lot but.. i just have to snatch 2 points because of the ending, it's not that bad, but since the story was good, I expected a lot from the ending (which turned out to be REALLY open ended), a sequel would be great! but hey still read this manga, just don't expect too much for the ending.

Entertaining read

I quite enjoyed reading this one. The art is fine and the story showed a promising start (albeit rather typical). My only complaints lie in the fact that the plot began to droop towards the end and it was obvious that the mangaka couldn't fit all she wanted in the number of pages.

Worth a try if you have a spare moment and want something light. It's not exactly the next saviour of the shoujo genre, but it's an entertaining read all the same.

I’m glad it had an open ending

I really liked this manga, and one of the main criticisms is the ending. The end guy isn’t really said concretely but isshiki is hinted greatly to be the main main male lead. However, as much as I love their childhood story, I like Koshiba better, since he’s stayed and helped Hina the most. That’s why I’m kinda glad the author left the ending open so I can pretend in my mind that Koshiba and Hina ended up together XD

I also like how Hina isn’t like most Shuuji manga heroines that blush just from getting into contact with a hot guy. She’s strong and I laughed so much at the time she threw the bugs that were in her desk and picked up the snake that was there too.

Honestly, I would recommend this to people who root for the second male lead most of the time since Koshiba also seemed like he had a chance with the ending the author wrote.

I didn’t mention Nishizaki because I don’t really think this could be labeled as a harem manga. Throughout the series he seems to only tease and fight with Hina, and even the ending shows that he likes someone else(the side story for it was really cute btw)

All in all, I really liked this manga, and I only gave it a 9 since Koshiba, who I rooted for the most, seemed to have second male lead syndrome ^^;; also Isshiki was a brat lol

The ending..

I love the female lead,happy-go-lucky-strong-dense type. As for Shou,I like how he's cold for something,he was abused etc. The other characters are perfect too. I was enjoying the manga and when it comes to the ending I was like,"That's it? She's not choosing any guy and take off to Franceconfused" That's truly a disappointing ending. gee.. I would give complete 10 if the ending was satisfying.

This one is very nice. Great art and great story. Though for those of you hoping for a love story look elsewhere. I actually enjoyed this because of the almost nonexistent romance ^_^

Didn't need romance!

Everyone hates the ending because the romance was left open-ended with nothing resolved. Well, in the end, the manga was really well done and didn't need to focus on romance. I felt it was enough focusing on the character development and learning about Hina's past. It was also a story that teaches you about perseverance and being independent and strong-willed which is very important. It was also very funny and an amusing story that is sure to be a fast but nice read.

I admit that it would be nice to see just who Hina ends up with, but I'm satisfied all the same.

I like the story but it's really open ended one!! I hate the feeling that the guy who really loves her did not confess till the end!! and there is no hard romance basis in the story... i like the art as usual what you get from her!! it's really good!! i love her artworks!! it's pretty interesting read if you want... but don't expect a lot of lovey dovey moments...
