Since in the beginning, I was also a sucker for romance animes, specifically high school romance. This anime really connected to my liking. The characters were so interesting and unique. It was pretty stereotypical but character development was really a huge focus.
In the beginning I really couldn't keep my eyes to read it, I didn't pay much attention till I really started to try. And I honestly couldn't stop. The main character was amazing, she wasn't annoying and she wasn't dumb. She was such a normal girl with so many lovely qualities. I also enjoy seeing a rival in the picture and I couldn't stop reading. This manga really taught a lot of things about friendship and love.
It was a bit aggravating at first, considering the male lead was very irritating. The way he was acting but those who enjoy guys who are cold but deep down sweet, then this is the anime for you.
The story was also so unique but very plain. And I loved it so much. So many pulls in the heartstrings, a few plot twists. And this manga was so good at distancing the relationship time frame. Some animes/mangas make the main characters fall in love to quickly but this manga focused on struggles and wonder "will they fall in love in the end"?
I highly recommend this manga if you love school romances, drama and friendship makeovers. it's well worth to watch considering the pull of the heartstrings, the lessons throughout the story. The heartbreaks and crushes were placed accordingly and didn't make the story sound confusing or annoying. This manga is my favorite and I had so much enjoyment reading it :)
