Lol, the reaction to her reveal was cute enough for me to bump this up to three stars. It was a harmless little oneshot, though it annoyed me a bit with the whole "boring" crap. Especially when her worth is all summed up by whether or not a guy likes her. (I don't give a crap how he ACTUALLY felt. It's dumb to base your life choices on that.) Just a manga, of course, not real life, but that mentality is real. x_x

Holy crap. I was not expecting to love this as much as I did! I want to keep reading about these two! I don't know if the cliffhanger with the ex is due to another volume coming or tied into the spin off with the ex, but I don't want this to be the end of their story. So freaking sweet and perfect! I thought it was going to be typical shoujo-esque silliness with no substance. It was so much more. I also really, really liked the stuff with his ex. I wish there were more stories with ex-boyfriend issues where the guy doesn't end up back with the abusive piece of crap or whatever. Seriously, though, I hope someone translates the spin off soon. And I hope we get more work from this author! So far, love her stuff!

Wtf. There was nothing here, and then it was abandoned. I only gave it three stars because I love the other work this mangaka has on here. It sucks that she doesn't seem to have anything else translated. EDIT: Uhhhh.... So like a few years later, three more chapters uploaded, and now it's saying it's finished. Basically these are weird, crack comedy stories that are very short and kind of hard to look at. It's like if only the disturbing scenes from Smells Like Green Spirit got their own manga. I feel like chapters are missing or something. The whole thing is weird and hard to follow, lots of snapshots with no real story, but comments from the mangaka that make me feel like there WAS indeed a story here. As is, I feel like giving it even two stars is generous, because wtf. I still love her, though. I wish more of her work were out there and translated. EDIT: Oh my god, THANK YOU. Thank you for fixing it, whoever you are? It was a weird, disjointed mess, missing tons of pages and making it unreadable. Since so little of this mangaka's stuff is out there, I really wanted to read what she DID have available, and this was such a disappointment. But finally someone fixed it! The first few chapters should just be deleted. The new upload has the entire manga, it looks like. I haven't finished reading, but from what I've skimmed, it seems to all be there. EDIT: Okay, so I finally read it. But I skimmed a lot of it because it was kind of weird, haha. I'll go back and read it more carefully later. It's a weird comedy, for sure. Lots of crazy faces. But it's cute and wholesome overall. I wish we'd gotten more time with those two idiots being cute together and kissing and such, but whatever. I still like it well enough.
