It really isn't bad, but if you've read either Special A or Kaichou wa Maid-sama, this is a poor copy of the two. It had some potential, but it really ends up feeling like something of a shameless crib - without any of the strength of character that made SA and KWMS so memorable.

The trouble is that the female character is very hard to sympathize with. She's good at everything, of course, but her problem is that not only does she know it, she flaunts it... for herself. I found it hard to think of someone who expects everyone to worship at her feet as ... human - plus she repeats her catchphrase every three pages. She does grow on you though, since Ren pushes her past her 2D comfort zone, and towards the end she started to actually feel like a person.

Ren, the male character, is rather hard to sympathize with as well. The mangaka doesn't seem to know whether to make him an all-out sadist or a Jerk With a Heart of Gold... so he ends up kind of being a slight tsundere. :(

Overall, however, it is an enjoyable, rather sweet manga. No one weeps and wails all over you every chapter, which is refreshing. =)
