When I first saw this manga, I knew I had to read it. What's not to love about an awkward tomboy? The fact is, though, that Hanabi is actually a believable tomboy; a girl who likes to beat up boys, sweats, and isn't stuck on herself. But all that changes when she crosses paths with the oh-so-dreaming Yasuaki. His character, however, is a little less believeable. I mean, what teenager boy is "allergic" to girls??? Both characters are fairly well developed through flashbacks and everyday occurances that make the manga seem very realistic. The situations are things that could very well happen to YOU.

On that note, the story is very well paced. Given that there are only 5 volumes, there isn't much room for filler. Although some stories may seem like filler at times, it all serves to move along the plot as our awkward tomboy and aloof lady killer grow closer together.

But I will say this: no surprise endings here. You may like it, you may not, but you will see it coming. It's rather predictable.

That shouldn't stop you from enjoying this manga. It has several of what I like to call "OMG WTF HILARIOUS!!!" moments, including a scene involving the PA system (I'm giggling now just thinking about it)! I own every volume and go back to it often.
