If you like relationship drama, you have come to the right place. Get ready for one of the most craziest, frustrating, and infuriating tales of lies and deceit, all in the name of love.
Story: Dear goodness. Just when you think Momo has faced and gotten past one trial of love, another pops up right in front of her. She can never seem to get it right. The story is DRIVEN by the lack of trust between characters and the lack of information they have/choose to seek. Assumptions make and sometimes break this story. Several plot developments could be solved if Momo just ASKED the other person what was going on or what was his intention in doing something. The developments of each problem, as the story progresses, become almost exhausting as the characters begin to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, without learning a thing from the last time. Still, it is very drama filled and does offer several page turning moments.
Art: Good. Not my particular favorite style, but very nice. The outfits look well drawn, the characters never seem to be unproportioned and the characters seem to be distinguishable. There is no way that you will be able to confuse the two male leads, they look so different. The females get more of a homogenous, same face-different hair treatment, but it doesn't get to the point that everyone appears like one big blur.
Characters: There is barely a character that I like in this manga. Momo the lead is too gullible, untrusting, and plain stupid most of the time, falling for trap after trap and deception after deception almost without fail. Sae is pure evil: manipulative, self-centered, egotistical, and unafraid to allow someone to get hurt (and I mean REALLY hurt) just to get what she wants. Touji is a rock, as in, emotionally unavailable half the time, quick to anger, and just as susceptive to the trickery of Sae as Momo,maybe even more so. The only character that I liked was Kairi. He really was the only one who had any depth actually. He has a backstory that explains his off the wall behavior and is one of the few that Sae cannot manipulate like a puppet. Out of the 4 leads, I only liked 1. How nice.
Overall: At first I wanted to rate this lower, but then I realized that the manga did one thing: made me never forget it. And for that it does average, just in the middle. You can read this if you like, but if you are deciding between this and another shoujo manga, don't be afraid to choose the other one. Besides an unlikable and infuriating cast, a mediocre story, and some nice artwork, you aren't missing much.
