Stories were all really bland and the eyes were way too big for my tastes. Not my cup of tea but I'm sure someone likes it.

I get why people hate this manga; I kinda do too. The female MC's are so dick dizzy they can't tell up from down or realize when the guy(s) they're chasing after don't have any respect for them. But you know what? The first story was so ridiculous that it was funny and, for that, I gave it 2 stars. I would have put it at 3 (it was so over-the-top it seemed like the author were poking fun at how overly aggressive shoujo MCs are about chasing after love) but the 2nd story kind of ruined it for me. Even though it was rather realistic, something about it irritated me. Maybe it was the perfect timing of the accident? The fact that she used his feelings for her up until the end and the suddenly decided she liked him?

Between the tags and the comments below me, it's pretty clear how this story's gonna go. Girl chases after some guy who doesn't like her and makes it a point to choose a girl who needs a guy's attention to feel worth anything, all the while ignoring the good guy who actually expresses interest in her. And, of course, the asshole guy has a sudden change of heart when seeing that the MC is slipping from his emotional control and she takes him back in a heartbeat. Cool -_-. Only consolation is the fact that the bitch didn't get her way, but I would much rather her get revenge rather than just comeuppance. Only reason I marked this 2 stars is because I can't fault the author for this; this plot is used over and over again and it's not as if this one time was substantially more offensive than any others...

Meh. Didn't really have a strong impact on me, maybe it could have stopped after 1 volume?

Cliche after cliche after cliche mixed with a plot that needed a horse and wagon to be carried...but I finished it and didn't absolutely hate it so 2 stars

Meh. It was pretty typical and dragged on for a while. Read it all of two weeks ago and legitimately couldn't remember how it ended/main drama or any of that so it certainly doesn't make an impression. Luckily, the art was nice enough to remind me. Pretty typical stuff, though.

Peach Girl: Sae's Story

As hard as this manga tried to make me like Sae, I still can't stand her character. She doesn't become a better person miraculously, and her past just shows her being a bitch to a dog just because she's weak. It's not as if she really accepts the dog at the end either. I don't know, somehow the story is lacking...depth? Maybe it needed another volume that actually showed her actually getting stronger instead of faking it all of the time. Despite the interesting character traits (she's cunning, stubborn, headstrong, etc), she's still such a pathetic character. Boo... ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ

Legend of Nereid

Complete | Hwang | 2003 released

Started strong but the end was bland. There wasn't much resolution for any of the characters; it seemed like they all just kept up with or abandoned their poisonous relationships while still pining away for someone else. Not to mention, the plot had quite a few areas that felt like complete rip-offs of Anatolia Story, but not done near as well, which was a bit of an annoyance. But it wasn't a complete waste of time, I'd just recommend stopping at volume 6.
