I don't think this manga deserves such harsh judgement. It is exactly what it wants to be. The author did a good job. There are many one shots out there that follow this bad guy-good girl theme but this one is pretty unique and intense. Though he is shallow he is also tangled by her words and his actions were just teasing the mc. She just pulls his trigger.
I actually hate guys like him that get tangled up in some woman's web. And now, seriously... she found his account... how lame can he get...
Every chapter I continue to surprise how both man are stupid that much... especially our main boy... how he can be that blind... to be honest if I were that main lead is dont trust him that easy... I mean he was always calm an patient about his ex. That devil girl did everything but he stay with her until she kick him. And main girl saw them together... in real life it is highly possible to him cheat her with his ex ... especially when he was kinda obsess to stay with her...
I think many of us here are missing the point. Though we don't know what happened with the competition, the important factor for which Kaori fought wasn't for Arima to win competitions but win against his coward self and play the piano again on stage. And think how big was his step considering he was playing on stage instead of going to the hospital.
OMG laughed so hardddd.. the elementary school teacher was hilarioussss.
