And I was sucked in immediately. The first chapter moved lightning fast and I was confused at where the story was going. It started out very shoujo and embarrassing, but then it took off! I thought it was more than just your average shoujo (aside from the heroine - she improved a bit as the story progressed, but she was a boring typical cliche lead, imo).

Anyway, other jumbled thoughts I'm just going to spit out:


So this was ADDICTING. I stayed up until 4:30am to read this and I had work at 9am. Highly recommend, especially if you like school life shoujo, but you've read 50 of those and you want something with a twist.

Dude she has one the best people around her: her sister (especially), the other boy, and her friend. They did a lot for her and I'm glad that their work is (maybe) finally paying off. The female lead is quite annoying, and a bit of a hypocrite, but I don't entirely dislike her, that's how intriguing this story is. Just warning you, there is A LOT of time travel here and a lot crying + melodrama, like damn, but it's a great ride nevertheless. The only character that I really did not like is her initial love interest. He's just as dumb as her in my opinion. But I digress. Recommended for a quite immature, but a great enough roller coaster ride of a story.

Apparently, I’m in the minority here, but I could not relate to the heroine and found her unlikable. Her whining about not being good at something without trying was really irritating - especially her comments about wanting to be smart without studying. There’s no such thing as favorable results without effort.

I also really disliked the way the relationships and lovelines were formed. They came off far too cliched, yet forcefully contrived. And the idea of going back in time to date your sister’s boyfriend before she can because you fell in love with him first (like you’re calling dibs on a human being) is just...ew. She doesn’t consider her crush’s feelings, her sister’s, or even the dude who likes her. I’m sure she’ll figure it all out as the story goes on, but her inability to think beyond her own feelings (outside of mild hesitation and constant, self-centered insecurity) makes the journey not worth it. Imo.

Not to mention, the heroine’s entire character is...unoriginal. A plain-looking, intellectually below average, yet adorable heroine with no particular talents who crushes on the school hunk? Mmm. Nah.

I’m sure there are people who don’t mind all of the cons above, and the story doesn’t have any truly horrifying elements, so i’ll give it a 6.

I guess most of us can relate to her. Distracting ourselves with something when reality gets to hard.
only the first chapter but so many things happened, I somehow have an idea about her sis and sis bf (I have to read it again i already forgotten their names) >.<

And damn! Im curious on what's gonna happen now that she went back to the past! By this I guess it would answer my hunch ^^

What's not to love about an almost adult who can't get it together even though she's trying her hardest and when she finally snaps, grabs her PSP saying "Reality can go to hell"! Hahaha, it's a very endearing character portrayal and you'll find yourself rooting for her despite her apparent lack of talents.

It's definitely one of the more modern shoujo reads. You can see the heroine is besotted but not excessively insecure or weepy, there are secondary characters with otaku traits who've got ambitions beyond high school love and even the male leads are given personalities outside of being a prince and being kind to the heroines involved!

And considering this is not a oneshot, A LOT seems to happen in the first chapter itself, while keeping the pace realistic and engaging, and it flows smoothly into the core premise about redoing your past. Props! Although it feels a bit like a cop out for the present tense, of how a tricky situation could have been resolved, redoing the past having knowledge of the future is a novel premise for a shoujo romance and I can't wait to see how it's played out!
