Kimi wa girl friend.

For a one shot manga, this isn't really bad, but I can't say it's good either. [Read the synopsis]
The character's character didn't even change a bit from start to end - this is where consistency is a bad idea - there should have been more some kind of a twist, but there's none.

Plus, the girl is annoying. I mean, if you want to be friends with other people, who doesn't know the rule - be nice to them.

And the guy? What? He's not gay, obviously, so why exaggerate? Don't act one if you aren't.

I recommend this for people who are bored reading ... GOOD mangas, you need a break sometimes. ;) here you go.

story 6/10
The idea is not really origional and the plot is sort of predictable. There are some funny moments but overall it's just you average romance between tsundere and honest persons.

art 7/10
The art is nothing special, I just really like the style.

characters 5/10
Well just the basic idea, one character has a problem (in this case she is never honest) and has a dream (to get girl-friends) then she meets a special person and then I won't spoil the rest.
The two main characters are complete opposite (cliche) and both have their own problems. In most manga's like this the characters over come those problems and become ... nicer persons but this one was just too short to have that happen so the characters are pretty boring.

Overall 6/10
Okay,the characters are boring, the art is nothing special and the story is predictable but it's not hard to read. There are some funny moments and the side characters are a little special (in a nice way). Overall it's a predictable cliche story but its short so its a nice inbetween read.

I started reading this manga, and thought it was cute at first. It was very short so I finished it in one night, and so all of it is fresh in my mind.
It was cute - but it only gets a 6/10 from me. (If I could use decimals, it'd be closer to 6.5 or so, though)

Here's my opinion (spoiler-free!)

The story is decent, the art is fairly shoujo, and it is cute. However, the main thing about the manga is the main character. I don't dislike her - I actually find her cute! The only issue is that her problem with badmouthing people is to ... the extent that it seems like someone put a curse on her. She has the words in her head she wants to say, but what comes out is a twisted mean version of it. In fact, it's so bad that most of her words throughout the manga are thinking or narration - and aside from that she makes an effort not to speak unless spoken to if she can help it.

I feel like this fact alone takes over the whole manga in a way. While I want to focus on the love story between the main characters, or the cute antics of side characters - I can't do so without also noting that almost everything that happens is due to her bad mouth.
It's to the point that the summary would be almost more accurate if it was something more like, "This is a love story about a girl who had a spell cast on her, making her only able to say nasty things - and she must get through school life with this terrible curse!"
(Well - except magic doesn't exist in this manga. She's supposed to just have this problem from hanging out with a lot of brothers growing up or something.)

ON THE OTHER HAND...

Don't get me wrong. It IS a cute read. Positives are that if you view this as a purely fun/cute love story about something silly like "a girl who can only insult people", then you could have a good time. Her love interest is an adorable character and deals with her well, and there's something intriguingly happy about how he's able to stand her. Because her bad mouth feels entirely involuntary to the point that she seems like a victim of her own habits, his kindness is always appreciated and it helps you cheer them on.

I might actually buy this manga to have it on my shelf if I'm ever bored and want to read, but it isn't on my top-favorites at the moment.

Still, it's all up to you if you want to check it out. I do recommend it, just for the cute read.
