Kurohyou to 16-sai

This my first review and it's been a long time since i read this, so just heads up on my stupidity.

Tbh this is not a great manga. If you're looking for a good story, this is NOT it.
It literally has a douchebag of a male lead ( Anri ) and female lead ( Taiga ) who only talks tough but actually doesn't do shit even when someone forces a kiss on her.

Anri is always intimate with Taiga, even though she has a boyfriend who is clearly the better choice(dud literally proposed to her lol), but she just lets him do whatever he wants to her. That really just boils me to my core cuz I have major second lead syndrome. When Anri does become a little decent, Taiga takes the spot of most infuriating character.

Aside from Anri and Taiga, all the characters are very likeable and fun.

Despite the not so good, really shoujo-like story, it has a beautiful art style and illustrations. Props to their outfit designs as well, they are really cool and stylish, especially Taiga.

BUT even though I talked shit about this manga, I absolutely adore it. It's just trash and dumb fun and I love it. Not every manga should have a compelling and moving story, sometimes stupid shoujos are more likeable when you don't want to sob every chapter.

I don't recommend this to everyone, but if you're trash and have nothing productive to do in your life like me! Give this a read bud.

I am gonna make this nice and quick and say...

I really enjoyed this manga, there are times I laughed, cried, and went ooh la la, it definitely was not bad but I just do not think the way they executed some situations was the best and I also think the female lead can sometimes be self-centered but honestly you should read it, there is a bit of angst but who does not enjoy that sometimes?

SPOILER.........................




First time I actually did not know who I wanted her to end up with but in the end, she ended up with the obvious choice which I guess is what I wanted deep down




THEY SAID I NEED TO WRITE A LONGER REVIEW SO I HOPE THIS ENOUGH NOW

Nope, nope and nope again. Someone has obviously watched Kimi wa petto before writing this but it turned out quite bad. Maybe because it's better to come up with your own idea than base it on something already done. The fl is so annoying I could barely keep my composure. She's exactly the type of women I hate. Making herself look so confused and loyal but in fact she's not. Just a slutty little brat that can't even decide who she likes, it made me mad even though that's just a fiction. Maybe the fact that there are many women like her in real life made me angry, idk. There's no character development whatsoever, the female is dull, the annoying male lead's personal drama looks like it was made to justify his behaviour but it's just weak. Did he, as a pet, changed her attitude, like her ex pointed out? Hell no. Because the author never tried to develop this part of the story. How is he better than her actual boyfriend? He's not because he's simply tormenting her mentally and that is also pointed out as something totally okay. Is he childish? Yes he is and a 16 year old child can't look after another child. I was rooting for Kurogane for obvious reasons. "I love Kurogane but I love Anri too".... oh give me a break will ya.

I started reading this one because I friend share it with me out of frustration with the male protagonist that is the horrible mischievous type. The start of this manga is kinda wild and could be upsetting if your personal morals get conflicted with fictional works.

Aside from that and once all get set and moving from the terrible beginning, the story becomes really enjoyable. This manga is fun and crazy in a Ouran Host Club mood style since a big chunk of the cast are rich kids, in a way that they could do and go as they please, but with added spiciness. There is a lot of heart-pudding situations, so at moments is hot and romantic.

I loved the character develod, I loved the characters and how they build their friendship and how they support each other in the goods and bads of the story. I loved Taiga and how strong she was and all the crazy moments and adventures she have since she moved to start from zero and all the incredible memories she build through this journey.

Moving in the story, we come to the point where we come to know more about Anri and his personal life, his past that he should face and his relationship with his family. And I promise you that while Anri is kinda despicable in his actions, he becomes better (just a bit).

Everything was great, until the ending that was kinda rushed and anti-climatic: The super dark family plot was resolved really quickly in a really crazy set and I was expecting the author would go more in deep or give us more details. Is true that the story was one of those who are made to last very short so I'm surprised lasted that longer.

About the love relationships, this story did really wild turns and twists through the story since we have the typical love triangle were the male rivals are childhood friends and for a moment I wished this story could break some well know clichés and still, author did as they please, so I'm not really that satisfied with the ending for the reasons given, but pretty sure some people would like it very much.

I loved how lovely, detailed and stylish the drawing on this manga was, I loved how Taiga looked and all the fashion and pretty clothes despite it could look weird at times for anatomic reasons but was the least of my issues.

Overall, it was a good story, a very crazy story with a lot of romantic and spicy moments just to have fun and that should no be taken seriously and that could came as generic but that you would enjoy if this genre is your cup of tea.

This is my first review ever and it is out of pure anger.

I wasted my whole day off reading this manga, and all it did was make me physically angry. The "not like other girls" ditzy main girl can't decide which of the two hot rich boys she likes better, and at the age of 16 has seen more action than I have ever seen in my 23 years. The character development and plot are garbage, and the only thing that kept me reading was that the art is nice, and one of the main guys is the mirror image of a favourite character of mine in a different manga. Usually, I wouldn't mind an outlandish yet stereotypical plot, but I just couldn't take the cringe of this manga. SHE IS 16 AND GETTING MARRIED. WHY DON'T THE PARENTS SAY ANYTHING. Anyway, when the next few chapters come out I'll crawl out of my hole and finish this manga off, even though I can guess how it ends, but only because I'm trash. Let me be garbage so you don't have to be and save your day off by reading something better.
