This manga had way too many inconsistencies that made it past final check. First off, I can't understand how the company never found out she was a girl; they had to assign her a work visa since she wasn't a Japanese citizen, right? So nobody ever checked her passport? Was she just an illegal immigrant? I don't want to poke holes everywhere but this was a glaring issue that could easily have been avoided with a slightly different setup (ex: was born in Japan but moved to a different country when she was very young due to her parents' divorce).
Also...I'm a little confused about where exactly she was before she went to Japan. According to ch. 1, she was in England. But according to her, she's from NY. Again, these are things the author/editor should have caught.
It was sort of a nice deviation from most shoujos I come across but it started to drag a lot and by chapter 20, became so predictable I just skipped to the final chapter. The reunion was pretty anticlimactic which I didn't mind but I was disappointed that the author didn't use the space to show a bit of character development, which I think is the purpose of a time skip in the first place otherwise, what's the point?
If I were careless in reading, I wouldn't have known any time had passed at all; the characters were the exact same as the beginning of the manga. Maybe the author should have fast forwarded more than 2 years, or maybe she should have chosen a different way to end it. Either way, the final third of this manga really let down the expectations I had from the beginning.
She's been in school the whole time, right? She didn't take a few years off or skip class or something, right? Then how the hell can she do so badly in math? It literally builds on top of itself! She should probably go back to the basics because clearly her foundation is jacked up for her to miss so hard.
Some people are just sh1t at math. All my life I have tried and tried and tried and I reached a point where I just dont want to try anymore. I'm a retard when it comes to math. I've learned to accept it.
It isn't a bad story at all it's just...how do I say this? The somewhat confusing translations + heroine's annoying fantasies + cliche plot development (so far) just annoy me a little too much to keep going at the moment. Maybe I'll pick it up again one day.
Quite frankly, she annoys me. I get the feelings she's the sort who'd never be satisfied in a relationship; every time she's "with" someone, she so easily wants something else. And then we're just gonna ignore the fact that she cheated on her bf with Mamoru and then Mamoru with Sadao (kinda) but has the nerve to call anybody else "good-for-nothing"? Ugh I'm just so sick of how easily swayed she is. Poor Mamoru deserves better or, if his character goes down several levels, then they'll be perfect for each other (￣ε(#￣)Σ
And so not what I was expecting! Thought it would be like Otomen all over again, boy was I wrong!
This is really sooo good! Love the depth him being seen as a villain adds to the story! The evil Princess/King characters are a bit over the top, but I guess that just makes for more entertaining scenes. Def gonna hold off on this one, and then reread when it has a whole bunch of chapters lol! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Forgot to mention: it really reminds me of 1/2 Prince with the whole alternate world/game and hero who acts like a villain plot. Might go read that one next...
ya. 1/2 prince is good for a bit, with it's adventure and wonder. but then I tries way to hard to get complex halfway through. So basically it has a strong start, but eventually loses it's charm. YOu'll understand when you read it
I know what you mean- I remember feeling that way too once the whole self-awareness thing took the front seat. I ended up stopping after 40 chapters or so the first time but I'll try to finish it this time if for nothing else but to know how it ends.
How do I say this? This was kind of really awful lol. Don't get me wrong- it was a great setup and decent art, but the actual plot was really bad. It was as if the author wrote each chapter to be the last one, like reading 10 one shots about the same couple in a row. But a 27 page one shot doesn't really give you much time to develop any emotion towards the characters, especially when dealing with such a bombastic topic like a high school yakuza head.
Characters were introduced with little to no backstory, the problem was resolved within 10-15 pages, and then the character disappears again. We never actually find out anything about them. The three "love-triangle" characters would have made great story fodder (ex: I was really curious as to why the other Yakuza guy was so attached to the MC; what was his past like that he wanted to be with her so badly?). It just seemed like an effort to force the plot along, rather than letting the character development take the story with it, which is such a waste considering the good setup and characters with so much potential! But this is pretty characteristic of this author, I guess. I'm always just so disappointed because she turns what could be great stories into shallow time-killers. Really wish she'd study a bit more on how to improve suspense so she can hook readers in more... -_-
Don't get me wrong: I usually love those! But after 7 or 8 of them, I wish someone had told the translator to calm his/her tits down and take a cold shower lol. Whoever it was just seemed to be trying waaaaaayyy too hard, indiscriminately hitting on every character and randomly responding to any old line just made it really awful to read, like when your dad tries to do a "that's what she said" joke but misses a bit. Next time, pick one character to make googly eyes at (at least per chapter), swoon appropriately in situations where double entendres abound, and move on.
I. NEED. MOAAAAARRRRR!!!!!
