The heroine in this manga is rather fun. She's gorgeous, popular, and rich (and she knows it), but she's also incredibly old-fashioned in her thinking. She spends the manga dreaming of finding her prince, and hates the idea of kissing and holding hands before marriage. The manga takes pleasure in occasionally teasing her for her vanity and making her look foolish, while at the same time giving her plenty of moments to look cool and be beautiful, thus letting her live up to her reputation, while having a bit of fun with her.
The male lead, Kashiwagi is also a fun character. The son of farmers and a future farmer himself (he has a pet chicken), Kashiwagi is the exact opposite of the rich prince our spoiled princess has been dreaming of. Yet, he's also honest and kind, qualities which soon begin endearing him to the heroine. Kashiwagi runs "Team Kashiwagi," a three-person squad that tries to help their fellow students out (missions include: finding lost cats and fishing someone's ring out of the river).
There's lots of comedic moments in the series involving Hanada's efforts to get out of her engagement, avoid the pervert Watabe, and finally to reconcile herself to her feelings. Unfortunately, while the comedy is good and the leads are fairly likeable, a pair of unlikeable villains practically hijack the series out from under them. Most of the drama in the manga comes from the efforts of the student council president and the vice president to break up the lead couple. Most of the chapters, in fact, involve some scheme the two of them have cooked up to separate Hanada and Kashiwagi. Since I didn't care for either of those two characters in the least, having them continually show up got tedious. The manga probably could have spent more time developing the main pair and their feelings for each other rather than wasting pages devoted to yet another one of Watabe's schemes. By the end of the manga, the main pair still felt somewhat undeveloped for me.
Overall, however, I would still recommend the manga because of the lead characters, and because it's got some genuinely funny moments. 🙂
