I found it cute and funny...until it got up into the 20-30 chapters where i'm like, "Ok, this is cute, but when will things actually move on?" I'm just waiting for the couples to do something. ANYthing. but the artwork is cute and the plot is so-so, you should read it if you have time.
love it <3

i love this series. the overall theme is a bit cliche i'll admit, but the story is actually progressing nicely. definitely worth a read in my opinion. it reminds me a lot of Ouran, so if you like Ouran you might want to check this out

The story was pretty promising at the beginning, but things started to become repetitive. It's the typical "dense girl" and "super perfect guy" combo, only that it drags on much too long. The lack of story development is what bugs me most. Also, the humorous parts aren't particularly funny.
I give this manga a 7, because it's not so terrible that it's a complete flop, but it is undeserving of a higher grade, because there are a lot of better manga than this.

If you liked Ouran High School Host Club, you will probably enjoy this manga. It has similar elements [group of friends, love, drama, fun!] and has beautiful art that is very detailed and pretty. There are lots of funny parts in it so it will keep you from being bored especially from the main characters [ Kei and Hikari ]. Although the only downside found in this manga is that the love relationship parts among characters do take awhile to get developed.
It is one of my favorite shoujo mangas that I have been able to read thus far and I can't wait to see it in anime form.

This is not the best series I can think of, but it is most definitely in my top 5. I love the relationship the characters have with each other. They all care for each other (argue sometimes, but care for each other). The art starts out a bit sloppy,but then turns absolutely pretty. (Later chapters like chapter 66 are starting to change style, though.)

Oh my god. I LOVE Special A! It's funny, cute and just awesome ♥ The art is lovely, as well as the storyline. I wish it was translated at a steadier rate though. I've waited SO long for chapter 24 and 25. I hope I don't have to wait as long for chapter 26 ;; And yes, when Hikari repetitively repeats her bit about wanting to beat Kei, it does get kinda annoying ;; But her funniness totally makes up for that! *wavers*
Lovely!

this could possibly be the most fun, cutest, and most awesome manga ever. the character personalities alone are enough to rival even host club, and while the main character is wonderfully smart, she is also a hilarious idiot at heart, but who isn't when it comes to affairs of love?
Great Work!

This is a different type of shoujo manga for me, but not too far out which makes it good. Although the story does not center around the romance directly it is still there, in fact is one of the causes for how hillarious this manga is. It should certainly have a warning label after vol 2 because you will be in the floor-holding your stomach laughing and perhaps later when you remember what happens.
It has taken me a few years to finally catch up and finish this manga, but it was worth to wait until it was completed. I really liked the re-read, but i'm hoping she writes a sequel, spinn-off or at least a special chapter showing us what they are doing years later.

Great manga over all. But it's a little cliche, the girl is dense and all that. Still love it though <3
