Your opinion

is not everybody's

Panos, just because you don't like it doesn't mean that everybody have to dislike it. You are not center of the world.
Even if this manga wasn't a masterpiece, it's not that bad. And you have no right to flame people who gave 10/10 to it.

There's a reason why this manga have been serialized for a long time, but this manga isn't your type. I can see the reason why you gave this series 2.5 by seeing you gave 10 to Mx0, 9.5 to Unbalancex2, 9 to Karin and Oretama, 8.5 to Girl Saurus and Nozoki Ana, 8 to Rosario Vampire and Sekirei

@panos, normally I don't debate on comments too, but I see a question, so I answered. In fact, I normally don't even write the comment, I just rate.
The reason I don't write any comment is the same reason that I told you.
I believe that people have their own opinions, different opinions. Some may be very different, some may similar or even almost the same. But there wouldn't be the exactly same unless they share exactly same life experience. People who like this series may like it because they have similar experience in life, may like it because they like the drawings, may like it because they like the characters, may like it because they like chicken and many more, but you'll never know.
That's why there are some people who gave this series 10/10. That's why there are some people who gave this series 1/10
That's why I believe in average score than individual's opinion, that's why I believe in and like to give ratings rather than comments.

For those of you that are wondering if it is angst (like I was), there is some in the very beginning. But only a little bit, like for a couple of chapters. After that everything is pretty much just romantic comedy.

If you are looking for a boxing manga then this is not for you. This is a light read about a guy who has suppressed some of his memories from childhood. He travels to Tokyo in order to go to school and bumps into a girl (who is actually her childhood friend). The story then takes from there.

The whole story is just some of the quirky things that the main character goes through everyday with the tsundere classmate. Very easy read, and you find yourself able to stop as you please. It does get a little more dramatic towards the remaining chapters and you find yourself unable to stop. There filler does get repetitive and is predictable. But there are some sweet moments between the principle couples.

I'd recommend this to those that like romantic comedies and just looking for a light read.

Finished volume 19 and waiting for the last volume to be scanlated.

Story/Plot
Yamato is a boxing champ and he transfers to a school in Tokyo only to find out that he’s one of the few guys in this former girl’s high school. It didn't take him long to get on the girls bad side so now he’s gotta show them what he’s really made of.

Artwork
The artwork is really good with only minor distinctions between the characters and it has pretty good environments, nothing special though.

Final Thoughts
This is one hell of a harem, which started of feeling quite refreshing, especially with such a great male protagonist. After a while the story does begin to get stale, with no development at all, turning this really promising manga into a typical rom/com. 😀

very enjoyable manga. It does move rather slow similar to Pastel. The supporting cast has all their issues resolved while the main chars haven't really solved much of their problems, but still a fun read.

Its fun to read. Though the story might be a bit slow, its really enjoyable to read. The main problem is the speed at which new chapters are released.

Starts off as any normal shounen manga. The guy proves that he can beat the mean girls. But thats just the start. Then it takes you a fun and interesting path filled with mystery and love. a 10

What can I say, I love this series, its storyline develops into interesting twists and keeps [me, I guess] interested as it continues. Bah, I used 'interesting' twice. Ah, my point still stands.

A good series

Despite all of the unreasonably low ratings given, this is actually a pretty good series. It can easily be compared to a series such as Pastel (genre wise), which has a rating of 8.5 right now, but in my opinion this series is much better and should be given a better rating.
