Synopsis

Chihiro Hiyoshi is known for never turning down a request. Always accepting tasks given to her by friends and teachers alike, she is considered to be the ideal student by many. While seen as perfect in the student eye, Chihiro refutes the idea in her mind—aware that she gained her reputation due to her lack of courage in refusing her peers.

One day, Chihiro is asked to collect some papers for her teacher. Entering an archive, she stumbles and lands on top of a sleeping boy. Introducing himself as Risa Kisaragi, she learns that he is a mess of a student with terrible attendance rates and widely regarded as an utter slacker—the exact opposite of herself.

Looking up to his personality, she begins to interact with Kisaragi to learn more about him.

Overview:
So this manga was pretty short, but sweet I'd say. It was not unlike the many Shoujo manga that you read every other time, but that fact that it didn't drag on and on really made it worth the read.

Story:
The story is short, but you feel a sense of completetion at the end without going through the absolute rollar coaster of drama in many other, which aren't always bad but it can drag on for too long.

Art:
The art was very well done and resembled that of may other Shoujo manga. Though it was so unique, the execution was welldone and beautiful.

Overall:
Overall this was a read more

Where do I even start? In my humble opinion, the art was the only redeeming quality of this manga. With the amount of times the main male love interest, Kisaragi, pulled her arms, her arms should be dislocated by now.

Story:
For an 8 chapter shoujo manga the story was alright. It was centered around their romance but there was nothing besides their relationship. I'm not hating on shoujo manga (I've read some good manga), but this is just not it. It's like they put almost every popular shoujo trope they could think of and tried to fit it all into 8 chapters.

Characters:
What character? There was no development around both main characters (or should I say the only characters). It was as if their lives revolved around each other and nothing else around them existed. There are no side characters, everyone else is a background character.

Kisaragi: Bad boy delinquent (and a predator). The only thing I know about him is that he's a bad boy with a bad reputation but has soft spot for this goody two shoes girl. What makes this manga more unsettling is the fact that he does many questionable things. In the first chapter after they first met, he got up close to her face 6 times (I counted). And throughout this whole mess, she was just blushing, she didn't even feel threatened over the fact that a guy she just met was suggesting lip action (even as a joke, you can't deny it's a little creepy). Moreover, this guy really only has one expression. Even if he's the serious, brooding type, you can make him shed one tear or make one small smirk (They did do this in the last chapter-- the last chapter only though).

The girl (I can't even remember her name): Class representative who likes a bad boy. This girl is the most stereotypical shoujo manga female protagonist. I don't understand why she likes him. She starts having feelings for this guy she just met even though her only interactions with him prior to anything else is him getting up in her face. She has no life outside of Kisaragi. When other boys get close to her, she feels scared. But when it's Kisaragi (when they first meet), her kokoro goes doki doki.

Enjoyment:
If you consider ironic enjoyment fun, then I'd give it a 6 for enjoyment.

Overall:
I believe you can make a good manga out of 8 chapters. 8 chapters is not an excuse to write a teenage girl's romantic fantasy. I felt that the author could've added more substance to each of the characters (or even add a friend whose name I can remember that was not those two). A delinquent doesn't have to be a predator. Just saying.

Questionable or Predatory moments counter: 27 (I really counted)

Story (3): It's simple and predictable, like any other generic romantic shoujo. There is not much to say, it has a lot of clichés (e.g. the girl falls on the top of the boy, clumsy girl falls for the bad boy, etc.), which is not necessarily a bad thing, I even liked some of them, however this story features some clichés that I can't stand.
The story is short, so it doesn't have much development apart from the love relationship between the main characters. It just ended the way it has to end. I just would have liked that the relationship between the main characters has more development, I feel like it hasn't much depth as I would have liked.

Art (8): The art is pretty cute, I really liked, the strokes looks smooth, you really feel like you were reading a shoujo manga. The proportions of the characters are quite good, the environment also looks pretty good. The eye style is cute, it isn't exaggerated. I'd like that half of generic romantic shoujo that I have read were so well drawing like this manga.

Characters (2): They are too simple, and I feel like they don't have "something" that makes them different from any main character of another generic romantic shoujo manga.
The girl is clumsy, but it seems she has good grades, she can't say "no" to others petitions, she's weak and can't defend herself from "threats". I literally don't know any other detail about her.
The boy is like the typical "bad boy", he skips classes, he doesn't get along with others (why?), and I don't know why, because nobody explains it, but he's extremely good at everything he does, literally at everything. He also enjoys invading her personal space, which I don't like, but it seems she has no problems with that for some reason. It seems that he has no expressions, because he has the same face throughout the entire manga, I don't like that either. I'd have liked to see some kind of explanation about why the boy acts certain way in certain situations, but there isn't.
There are other characters, but I don't even know their names, I have no idea why the bad boys act the way they act either.

Enjoyment (6): I enjoyed it, I wanted to read a short manga, that's why I read it. I knew it will be simple, so I didn't have any problem with that. I really loved it's art. I think that if you want to read some short and simple manga, this one would not be a bad choice.

Overall (5): This manga is ok, but I think it has nothing that makes it different from any other shoujo manga apart from the art. I don't feel like reading it again.

It has soo much potential. The art style was so great <3 and the flow was fast yet consistent. However, I was quite expecting more of a character development, I mean I know 8 chapters are very short and we can't expect very much but all I felt was more of a fan service than an actual plot. They focused more on the heart racing moments between the characters and I didn't see much of a character development other than the MCs helping each other out. It was really centered on just the two.

So if you're expecting a story with more depth, well, this read more
