Its decent. The female lead seems to think she's all independent and strong, but is taken (and acts) like a fool the whole time. So I ended up dropping it thanks to her stupidity...

However, I decided to pick it back up one day and it wasn't half bad, not one of the best, and I still don't like the main girl, but it's a decent read. (keep in mind I havent read this manga in a month or two, so I cant go into much detail from just not remembering)

i love this manga how it's not the typical stupid weak heroine! instead the heroine is more of a masculine type that is unstraightforward with her feelings. Plus the guys are total cuties!! This manga has potential!

Through my excursions of trying to look for non-yaoi/hentai/smut shotacon manga, I was able to discover this one, and I have to say it's one of the best I'm reading. Bitou Lollipop is seriously a must-read. Although it's pretty obvious who the main girl Madoka is going to end up with, you can't help but want to read the whole manga because of the great story-line and that you really want to see the development that happens between character.. The art is also eye-appealing in my opinion. Bitou Lollipop is manga that has it's reader excited to flip every page as it's filled with humorous moments that you burst in laughter, and also has it's readers feel for each character whether it be hate or love. Please read!

See, this is the problem I have when someone reviews it as "very girly." Some people who are already skeptical about delving into a shoujo comic will immediately be turned off because of what that term "girly" implies: candy floss, flowery, big-eyed hoopla. It rarely stands for anything less pejorative, and that pisses me off.

The 'bitou" in "Bitou Lollipop" stands for "low in sugar", and is an apt title for the manga that has "guts" to turn it's back on natural shoujo conventions, and give us something with more substance.

I'll have to agree with the first reviewer that it's "fun" though, because it is. I haven't read a shoujo manga in a long time that's as fun as this one. One that doesn't put too much focus on the dreaded " love triangles" or relationship rivalry. There are more equally pressing matters for the heroine than just her romantic escapades (be it family separation or a ghost), and that's what sets her apart from other shoujo heroines. It's also insanely funny, and each chapter leaves you thirsting for more.

Everyone should give this manga a try, including the skeptics.
