Eh, can't recall too much about it I don't think? But it was pretty good. The teacher (or was he a priest?) was an idiot, though.

This is always a classic- so well done. I really loved Risa's character design from her stupid faces to her heartbroken moments, I felt myself becoming more and more enamored with her. Otani was pretty thick-headed and douchey the whole time (the scene towards the end where he let another girl sleep over wtf?!!) but I get the feeling he really came to like her in the end.

I rated this so highly mostly because of the main character; I find her absolutely hilarious! And, as someone, with a bit of an older sister complex myself, I completely understand her do or die determination to protect her nee-san. Main guy was an idiot, but he was funny! The ending was a bit...rushed I suppose? I'm surprised it jumped to him being engaged so quickly but it was funny to imagine her as something like a professional wedding crasher lol.

Cute collection of one shots.

Benkyou Shinasai! (nakahara Aya)

Hmm...how do I say this? This was just silly, and not in a good way. It's like it tried too hard to be so stupid it's funny but ended up just being really stupid instead? The main character was dumb to the nth degree, not just "I don't study well" dumb but "I'll confess 100x to a guy who says I'm a bother, apologize about it, and repeat" dumb. And the main guy (really all the male leads in this manga) was so wishy washy it was annoying. It's like they were waiting for the girl to make the first move, otherwise they would never have done anything. The other pairings happened in a heartbeat, as if they completely forgot their feelings for someone else once some random person came out of the woodwork (with a shoddy backstory) and said I like you. All in all, it just seemed poorly thought out. The side story wasn't that bad, wish it were in a different manga so I could have enjoyed it properly.

This was funny and well done! Much better than Benkyou by this author. I am curious about their future though...

I liked this one. It was simple and seemed to focus more on her living than the romance, which I was strangely in the mood for.

Didn't like it. The guy was an asshole in the beginning and an asshole at the end and the girl selfishly chased after him like an idiot. And I'm certainly not taking his side, but if someone explicitly tells you to leave them alone and that you're a bother, selfishly trying to force your feelings onto them isn't love; it's an unhealthy obsession. I just couldn't find anything to like about this manga, unfortunately.

Hwang Mi-ri has a gift for dragging out a mediocre story for volumes without you feeling bored at all. The whole time, no matter how ridiculous the story got (how unfortunate can one girl be?) I just wanted to know what would happen next. By time I realized it, I'd already read 15 volumes lol. It's how she got me with hot blooded woman. I'm addicted
