Description
From Del Rey:
Yaya is a naïve and trusting girl. Hard-rocking, butt-kicking Nana is just the girl to grab hold of Yaya’s timid demeanor and turn it upside down. Can there be anything that terminally shy Yaya and hyper-confident Nana have in common? Well, for one thing, they’re the same person.

This story was good for when your bored. I liked how NANA was strong and independent but no so much about how flirty she is. YAYA's fashion style was nice.
7 volumes.. wow.. this kept me interested for a good 3.5 hours (its already 6:30 am) and I'm happy i decided to read it. it's been a while since a manga kept me going like this. well in short this is a entertaining manga 
!
solving everything with violence haha, that really is the ideal solution

The story was promising but the chain of events within the story becomes too repetitive...(weak yaya gets bullied, nana comes to the rescue, then yaya forgets....then it goes back all over again).
I have to agree with everyone though, I like nana too.

the art is very nice, i admit, but give me a break, the story got cheesier and cheesier imo. so i'm not gonna rate it, and probably will never read it again.
Good points about this manga: the art is fantastic and the romance that buds between the MC and her guy is really sweet. It was also interesting to see the different facets of Yaya (e.g. cosplayer, wants to be a singer, etc.) that made her seem more three dimensional.
Really annoying aspects of this manga:
All in all, good manga but some problems with character development.

Really annoying aspects of this manga:
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
- Character development: I found it so irksome that every time Yaya is getting bullied she'd have to draw Nana out. While I get that Nana is meant to be her alternate personality, it's so annoying to me how she didn't even bother to fight for what she wanted until the end, and the two instances (at the restaurant and at the studio) where she showed some semblance of a backbone wasn't even to stand up for herself - which is really the problem. Throughout the entirety of the manga, she didn't once learn how to stand up for herself which was the thing that disappointed me the most because I stupidly kept waiting for that. Nana's great at standing up for the both of them, but I thought it would've made a better story if Yaya ever stood up to the bullies even once, to learn how to not get taken advantage of.
- Steer clear from this manga if you have a problem with evil side characters that have no conscience and are put in the story just to make our MC suffer needlessly. Ugh.
- Realism: okay, I know, I know. I shouldn't be caught up on it in a manga where there are air battles over contracts and people can get steam-rolled into concrete without consequence but - I just don't understand why Yaya didn't go see a doctor. I mean, if I had gaping holes in my memory aaaaaaaaaalllll the time and was actually concerned about it like Yaya was, I would've gone to see one, or at least sought out some type of external help. I mean, it's not like she couldn't have afforded to go to one since Japan has universal health care for their citizens. GAHHHHH. Perhaps going to a doctor would poke holes in the mangaka's version of split personality disorder (which is not a gripe that I have!)
All in all, good manga but some problems with character development.

It's good is when Yaya change to Nana. Yaya gets on my nerve too much. How weak can a girl get? Nana is super cool. And the guys expecially the ex-Juliet member guy is really hot.
It was a very good read and I enjoyed it a lot. However...
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Was anyone else disturbed by the male lead's "Oh, she has a major psychological disorder... but let's not tell her!" approach? XD
It took Yaya too long to figure out what was wrong with her. Also, there's some parts where Nana comes out when Yaya is in danger when I thought Nana only came out when Yaya looked at the mirror or a reflection of herself.
The relationship between Moriyama and Yaya was dragging. They both started liking each other but it's only somewhere in the middle or near the end of the manga is when they realize they like one another.

This was good for laughs. It had some weak points in the plot and I wish it would have been shorter bcz there is only so much one can do with a split personality but it was fun. I really loved the detail to the eyes.
Extremely cliche that's it's annoying. I actually don't like neither Yaya nor Nana. Nana seems to be too wild to be good and Yaya is too naive and stupid. In fact, no character on this manga stand out and/or likable. The art isn't that great, but it isn't horrible either. It's a mediocre (if not, under average) manga.
