Congrats can't wait for the adapatation

🐺👍 ok story

Thanks for the update, the story is getting more interesting

Warning: If you're looking for a shoujo manga with any quality, do not read this manga.  

The only reason I finished this manga is that I kept hoping it might become worthwhile. The premise was decent, but the execution was terrible in terms of storytelling. I appreciated how the heroine, Mugi, was investigating her sister's disappearance, and there were moments when I felt a thrill as she uncovered clues and encountered trouble.  

However, any conflict that arose always resolved too quickly, leaving the story feeling anti-climactic and flat. You can figure out why her sister disappeared within 14 chapters; the mangaka made it predictable and unengaging. She introduced characters like the vice-principal and French teacher doing suspicious things, supposedly to foreshadow events, but instead, she revealed everything about the plot. Rather than being a hook to keep readers engaged, it had the opposite effect—I found myself thinking, "Not surprised at all by this development." BORING. Instead of a "show, don't tell" approach, it was more of a "tell and show" story. The supposed mystery wasn't mysterious at all. To make matters worse, every clue was repeated multiple times within the same chapter (okay, maybe three times), and I’m unsure why the author did that.  

Anyway, I know this is a shoujo manga, so romance is expected. But even here, the mangaka failed. This manga is incredibly dull. The connections between Mugi and every guy who falls for her are weak and rushed, leaving no emotional impact from any pairing. None of the supporting characters leave a lasting impression either.  

I'm glad I've finished this manga and will never read anything else by this author again. It's no surprise that their other works seem just as bland and cliché. It makes sense that the author hasn’t managed to create another series longer than this one.

I'm not skilled at writing reviews, but I'm astonished that no one has reviewed this yet.  

You get the usual love triangle here—except it's more like a love quadrangle—with a strong, beautiful, and hardworking girl caught between four handsome men in the household. Each of them has distinct personalities, though there isn't much character development throughout the story. Surprisingly, that didn't bother me too much.  

The plot revolves around Mugi, a diligent girl who recently lost her parents in an apparent suicide, while her sister mysteriously disappears. As she searches for answers about her family, she also grapples with loneliness and slowly falls in love.  

One thing I truly appreciated was the artwork—it was incredibly smooth, clear, and stunning. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the men's noses seemed slightly off to me.  

What I particularly enjoyed:  
- The artwork  
- The strength of the female lead (she doesn't complain excessively about her situation; instead, she works hard and perseveres)  
- The suspense surrounding what happened to her sister  

What I disliked:  
- I wish it were longer (25 chapters felt too brief for me)  
- It became predictable when all four men ended up being romantically interested in the protagonist  

I apologize for the poorly written review, but I felt this manga deserved some feedback so others can discover and enjoy it as much as I did.

This is a manga centered around a girl whose parents died in an accident, and her sister subsequently vanishes, prompting her to investigate her sister's disappearance. She attends a school, experiences some events, and suddenly finds herself in a reverse harem situation. The remainder of the story focuses on her quest to locate her sister.

The characters fit the typical mold of a reverse harem, with nothing particularly outstanding except that the protagonist demonstrates strong determination. What makes this manga unique is its exclusive perspective from the main character. Everything you learn about the other characters comes through the limited insights shared with the protagonist. This contrasts sharply with other mangas where flashbacks abound, and each character gets their own chapters for deep exploration. For instance, there's a character who once performed Kabuki theater but quit and avoids discussing it. That's all you get—no explanation as to why he left or any further details about his background.

As a result, much remains shrouded in mystery. You don't even discover much about the "accident" that claimed her parents' lives. All you're told is that the police deemed it accidental, yet the protagonist believes it was murder. No reasons are provided for her suspicion or specifics about the incident; you just know it occurred. Additionally, the connection between her parents and the conspiracy she uncovers remains unclear. This lack of information doesn't significantly harm the narrative, but it does leave readers craving more.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this manga and recommend it to fans of shoujo, romance, or reverse harems. I would have rated it an 8, but the ending is too peculiar, so it drops to a 7. When the truth behind the conspiracy is revealed, your reaction might be, "What? Really? People were killed over this?" Even under the most favorable assumptions, it stretches credibility. To accept it fully, you'd need to question why that specific location held that particular item. It's quite a substantial plot hole, but aside from that, the journey is highly entertaining. Definitely give it a read!
