Well, this one was entertaining... The story revolved around the intelligent, popular female student president and the delinquent, (yet equally smart) popular male "leader" from two nearby schools becoming a couple...
The plot wasn't original and followed familiar clichés, even featuring the cheesy, over-the-top elements that can sometimes make typical shoujo manga less enjoyable.
The artwork wasn't particularly impressive; I felt the characters had disproportionately large heads...
The characters themselves lacked depth and were too exaggerated for my taste.
I appreciated it for what it was—a straightforward, predictable, and effortless read...
The manga plans to present a series of varied situations, putting our protagonists together in rather uncomfortable scenarios. The comedy is fairly good at times, though not very effective as it can feel forced sometimes. Lastly, the romance can be quite "syrupy" — my way of saying it's overly sticky, annoying, and tangled. In some chapters, it conveys that tension of "What will come of all this?" but not much more than that. It concludes without leaving any loose ends.
The artwork features fine, well-defined lines with slim, stylized characters. The setting isn't highly detailed, but the scenes are presented appropriately, giving a sense of the atmosphere. The best illustrations are the double-page spreads where the mangaka's work can be better appreciated.
As a manga of medium length, with 4 volumes being sufficient for a story with considerable complexity, it turns out to be a simple tale without much involvement from secondary characters. At least a touch of drama would have been necessary for this kind of story, which manages to capture attention on some pages but becomes very dull at others. It could have been better. <p>
This is my first review, so please don't hate me:<br /><br />What can I say? I absolutely loved this manga! The characters are incredible and they just make me want to scream!!!!!!! I've re-read this manga a billion times and I'm still in the process of re-reading it again. The plot is fantastic, keeping me hooked and eager to discover more. The characters look so cool that as soon as I saw them, I was completely drawn in. This manga made me cry from all the funny moments, to the point where my parents had to tell me to go to my room because I was being too loud (lol). That's pretty much everything I can say without giving away any spoilers, but if you don't believe me about how great it is, then read it yourself. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it just as much as I did.<p>
I absolutely adore this story. It's hilariously funny while also being incredibly heartwarming. The artwork is stunning, particularly the girl who is so beautiful. For me, the characters are fantastic, especially Hayato. Initially, he seems like the typical bad boy, but he turns out to be genuinely caring. While such characters are common, I still have a soft spot for them. What I love most about this story is that the two protagonists never pretend to hate each other for the sake of some external factor... Overall, it's truly exceptional.
For me, this is one of the cutest works by Haruka Fukishima-sensei. While the plot may not be incredibly original, the way she develops the story is truly fantastic. I love the concept of having AAA and CCC. AAA stands for 'the highest level,' whereas CCC represents 'the lowest level.' The main character's love story is both sweet and adorable; even though he initially wants her to get into trouble, he always ends up helping her out.<br /><br />I hope this series gets licensed in English as well, and if it does, I would definitely buy it!
