I think poeple who love this manga should stop dreaming a little and take a closer look a it.
It is realy bad in many way.
I usualy don't like shojo, BUT before reading i have started "skip beat! " who was surprisingly good in many way ( the story, how it's whrited, the humour, how the vignette are used and all ), so i decided after that to give FAR more credit to shojo ( realy this manga was like a shock for me )
But that manga put me back to earth... no below maybe...
I admit the story could be interesting, but the autor didn't think too much beyond that.
His characters are completely lifeless, it's like puppets, no even puppets have more life when moved by the marionetiste. Here you feel nothing, they move stragely ( bad drawing but at least that not realy important, there is good manga who are drawn like shit ), but when they speak you can't stop that feeling " that not right, nobody would said something like that here " and that's maybe one of the worst thing about it, because the caracter have no personality, they just say what the autor whant them to say for advencing faster in his manga ( killing it at the same time ).
This is even more flagrant when you see how advance the story, that go so fast or change so much like nothing that you are left here thinking " what the hell appened ? didn't i miss a chapter ? ".
No joke here but did the autor take care even a little of what the reader whould think ? Of how he could he help them understand a little better it's story ? not a chance, he just don't care for making something like that ( that's a never seen for me ) even in bleach ( yeah that thing ) you see far more effort to be understood.
Here there is nothing, the autor just make it's little story in it's own world and as long " HE " understand it, it's okay. Reader will just have to think at her place to make it understandable.
the autor should have just make an ilustrated book that would have work better at least she could have put more life in her story
( well 32 book and started in 2005 maybe that's why there is no effort in the most important thing, mass producing is ok but you just kill something that could have been good )
i put 1 with no regret because that the worst manga i ever seen it's completely rushed.
That's not manga it's mass producing so 1 is the best note, it's even worst than the stupid manga full of fanservice.
