No matter how hard I try, I can't see the "love" that Takaya feels for Yurina as anything but shallow. Literally within ten pages in, he tells her that he likes her. At this point, they haven't even spoken two words to each other. He just sees that she is attractive and instantly falls in love.

It's okay for this to happen, of course, but the fact that the mangaka is trying to convince us that Takaya's love is real and not completely based on Yurina's looks alone is almost insulting. Genuine love may have developed as the characters interacted more, but to imply that Takaya's love is anything but shallow in the beginning is just idiotic.

It was an okay manga. Yurina's personality was realistic and the way she dealt with trauma was refreshing. This manga falls prey to typical shoujo tropes--kidnapping, almost-rape, jealous third parties--but that is to be expected. If the manga were long it would be unbearable, but I found the length to be perfect.

It started off pretty well... I did get annoyed by her though and how ridiculous she can be but I really liked how she started to change. Their relationship started to change and I started to really enjoy it...and then things started to go downhill! The last volume...like, the mangaka could've done something better with all of that but it seems she just chose to make it as cliche as possible. Damn, this manga had potential too

Yes, it might have its clichés but overall the revenge plot was deeply moving. Yurina didn’t fall short when she sought to hurt Takaya for his past bullying of her. The torment between love and hate was evident and not just your typical abstract read. So if you like seeing the protagonist hurting and causing hurt, this is it. While the ending makes up for everything she did to him, so everyone grows up in the end.

After reading Chapter 6, my interest in this manga has plummeted. Rino (Rina?) or whatever her name is is psycho, and I absolutely HATE the jealous, crazy third-party thing.

As a girl who was in a seious love-hate relationship with my ex-boyfriend for 2 1/2 years, I can really say this manga is right on the money. Anyway, I have no words to express how f***ing amazing this manga is, except that it is VERY refreshing to see a strong realistic female lead who wont let love get to her quite so easy.

Ah man! It really stopped as soon as chapter 5! I really want the rest of the manga as soon as possible! Haha my new addiction manga...

i have read two chapters so far, and all i could say is that it's a good read!
i feel for yurina (the girl). her past was just sad.
but even though takaya (the guy) was the one who made her suffer in the past, i can't help but feel for his character too.
i guess i just love their characters and their interactions.
the pace is also just right.

can't wait for chapter 3!.
xD

I like the concept, it was good, but the execution at the final chapter just went plain wrong, worth a read, but it was a major disappointment. Still, if the sequel comes out, I'll read it. I like the art though, and the premise was interesting. It did turn cliché, but I can deal with that. What I can't deal with it's the ridiculous and stupid ending. Didn't like the explanation for it either. Anyways, it's short, and I really think you won't waste time reading it. Just don't make it a priority XD

Was somewhat interesting up to chapter 5 but went quickly downhill with the psycho friend + kidnapping in broad daylight. Then again, the signs it was going to crap were there earlier but I was hoping the author would focus on the stronger points of the story. Didn't happen....unfortunately.

I have read up to chapter 4 of this manga, and my impression is that it's really good! I especially loved the exchange on the end of chapter 4, which is quite realistic for any bullied person's thirst to exact their angsts. My impression on the female protagonist is that she has her justifications to do worse things, but still has a good heart.(AND certainly is not what everyone'd call a B****) Now on Takaya(the bully/ lover), let's just say that even though he was a complete jerk, he really is a nice guy, but my vengeful taste in manga just wants him to suffer bitterly.(likes psycho manga *sorry*)
Though I'm not a fan of shoujo manga art, this one is quite different and the plot line is not dragging as each chapter develops both couple and character growth. READ IT!

This manga is equivalent to a drama script! (although it already has been adapted into a drama)
I love how the plot line is not fast paced and the emotions and thoughts of the characters make up the flow and feel of the story. In a way, it is realistic.
Looking forward to the next chappie!
