The manga starts out with your average pretty looking shoujo girl (Hikaru) getting ready for her first day of high school. She immediately spots a guy (who looks like her dead brother) and develops a crush on him. She makes friends with someone called Nene, who seems to shoplift.
Later on that same day, she meets her crush again, and her friend Nene out right tells him that our heroine likes him. What does he do? He kisses her of course, to toy around with her feelings. Hikaru is overjoyed of course and wants to go steady with this stranger. Later on they meet again and she tells him she wants to go steady. He rejects her because well, they're strangers. She calls him a pervert, and does a face-heel-turn, and falls in love RIGHT AFTER HAVING A CRUSH ALREADY by the guy that comforts her and tells her to stay away from that pervert.
None of these characters are entertaining or worthwhile or even developed. Hikaru is the faceless shoujo girl who cries about every other panel, has to get bishies to save her ass (because it's dark and she can't walk home alone!) and seems to fall in and out of love very easily. She constantly worries about her crush liking someone else and bawls about it. She's so shallow and one dimensional; just like every other shoujo heroine (but at least they get well developed later on).
The other bishy guys are one dimensional too. Everyone seems to like Hikaru for some reason, but they're so shallow and lie all the time that they really look stupid after a while.
The art is shoujo pretty, which in my own personal opinion is disgusting. I hate the fact that Hikaru looks just like the rest of the shoujo girls and the mangaka takes no effort to differentiate her from the crowd. Sparkling big eyes that look like every one else's eyes in the manga; check. Dense/goofy kind of look on her face; check. Groovy modern detailed hair; check. Cute school uniforms with a ridiculously short skirt; check.
Really, was the mangaka forced to draw the most generic manga ever?
No one should read this unless you LOVE reading the most clichéd, generic looking manga ever that doesn't even seem to have a story.
