Before i start i'd like to say the main reason i disliked this manga was because i found both the main characters annoying. So if annoying characters are bearable for you or if you find them funny, go ahead you'll most probably enjoy this manga :)
The main chara's idiotic moves were meant to be comical but leaned more toward irritating for me.
Art 8/10
The art was pretty good. Funny even. No problem with the art.
Character 2/10
I did not like Hatori, the heroine. She was indeed a failure. She was stuck over the same guy the whole time. I can't quite explain it but she definitely falls into the annoying-type heroines category. She just assumes that she is the hero, Rita's, heroine and when he gets a girlfriend she's determined to break them up and she'll do ANYTHING to do that. I understand how she's hurt because she's been in love with him for 5 years but her tactics are unsightly. You can't just decide to break a couple up. She didn't even consider Rita could be happy with another girl because she was so sure she's his heroine and was just hell bent on getting him back. Is this really love when you don't even think whether the other person is happy or not?
The hero himself isn't much of a man. He keeps leading Hatori on even though he has a girlfriend: Adachi. He's the type of guy who doesn't realize his "true" feelings until he hurts well everyone.
Adachi was an annoying nice girl. I dont even have anything against nice types but what her character developed to by the end was ridiculous. Terrible message. Life has many bad turns, get up and face them.
Hiromitsu Kousuke was the obligatory rival and honestly the only character I liked, or at least didn't find annoying. His was the only reason i could keep reading.
Story 4/10
Girl falls in love with guy who doesn't like her and tries her best to get him back. Rival shows up, he's a playboy and doesn't believe in love. Of course he falls for the annoying "different" Hatori.
People get hurt because the hero and heroine are both terrible characters.
Enjoyment 5/10
It was funny, I only liked parts with hiromitsu, and the only reason this even got a 5.
Not sure if it was worth it but after I finished the manga, i read the little extra crossover i wanted to read. The crossover discussed whether Suzume or Hatori is a better heroine. i don't know they're both weird and ummm unshoujy(?) but i LOVE Suzume. and i hate Hatori so TeamSuzume all the way.
