Interesting arrangement which I think really helped make the story more enjoyable. Let's be honest: the plot by itself is really just alright (though the characters are really very interesting) so the fact that we see them 8 years in the future and then go back to see how they all came together helped maintain my interest longer than a normal pace would have. Tbh, though, I felt the cousin's character was completely unnecessary as he didn't really drive the plot; despite the fact that the 1st chapter seems to set him up as MC, we quickly see that he has pretty much no effect on the other characters. So I guess the author could have either saved herself the time by not including his character altogether, or spent more time on trying to give him a purpose in the story. If all of the relationships/interactions between the characters were the same before and after the cousin comes in, what's the point?

I didn't care for it somehow. Guess it just wasn't my type of story?

Tonari no Atashi

One of the few shoujo manga where the MC ends up with the 2nd guy; always a pleasure to see since they usually work so damn hard to be loved! Despite the ending, though, I didn't care much for the manga. Maybe I would have liked it more if it weren't for all the added drama with Asou and Kyou's senpai; after a while, I just got annoyed with all the couple issues and wanted Nina to pick somebody so the manga would end lol.

It was frustrating and I wanted to stop reading several times, but, in the end, I'm glad I finished it. All in all, I can't say I particularly liked any of the characters, except maybe Shina whose only problem was chuunibyou. Can't say I liked any of the stories, either. But I didn't dislike the manga at all. I suppose it was one of those stories that made me think "Ah the follies of youth!" Though I'm certainly glad none of my follies were as stupid as some of these! I will forever hate Kitano; he's a manipulative asshole jackass. But, I hate Atsuko too- she's so in love with the idea of being in love, she lets herself be manipulated. But, as twisted as it is, you can still see there's some weird form of love (or maybe codependence? mutual wound licking?) there. I think I would have liked to see a brief snapshot of their futures, or at least some proof that they became somewhat reasonable adults. Because at the rates they seem to be going, most of them are headed for destruction!

Not bad. It was entertaining, at least.
