I read the manga until chapter 8. I don´t like the female lead. At first I thought she is a cold and farouche but sensible woman. But then out of the blue she sleeps with a stranger.I don´t like females who sleep so easily with strangers. But ok. I could have endure this if she had at least a tiny bit of sanity. But she has not even that. In chapter 8 she begins an affair with the married male lead. Without love without an other sensible reason. (if there would be a sensible reason..) Just out of the blue. This story was a big disappointment. The moral of this story is that adultery is ok. And you can be selfish and unreasonable as long you are happy.
I had rated this quite high because of its interesting first chapter, but my opinion of it went way down once it seemed to be turning into
the "male+prestige=dominance" typical/disturbing plot-line of so many shoujos. From the resistance and disgusted looks that she's giving him, I hope that she won't betray my expectations and that she'll continue to be a character with backbone who won't fall for money or lust!
