Since this thing has such a high ranking, I decided to read it. Oh boy. It was one of the most uncomfortable mangas I've ever come across - and I've read many *wierd sh*t* stories. It started kinda...dunno, sweet is a strong word. Not a typicall shoujo romance at all. Although forced marriage is quite common (eg. forced meaning by parets or circumstances).  I have recurring problem with mangas where there is any kind of violence towards women. And although in this manga the use of physical violence is sparse to nonexistent, psychological violence is present throughout thw whole manga and it really messed me up. Agitated me, creeped me out and scared me sh*tless. So many crazy, possesive freaks here that it made my skin crawl.  I will never revisit this manga and will do my best to forget about it. I still don't get how I even finished this in one night nevertheless. I must have been drunk.

ENG.: If you are used to soap operas then you would like this one, believe me, it has some weird things but the tea is interesting. Also, I love the art style of Rinko Ueda. ESP.: Si estas acomtumbrada a las telenovelas entonces no tendrás problema con esta historia, creéme, este manga tiene cosas muy raras en la trama (como incesto 👀) pero el chisme está interesante. También, me encanta el estilo de dibujo de Rinko Ueda.

There is something about this story that makes me feel uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong! I really love this manga so much! The obsessiveness of that "guy" really creeps me out haha. But WOW!!! The plot twist!!! <3!!!
