This work is the perfect example of everything I hope "not" to read in a manga.

Story - 1
The story is just a cliché, with lots of melodrama, two much crying and an absolutely unbelievable plot. Too much like the typical soap-opera, it doesn't lack anything: revenge-driven plot, blackmailing, the usual intrigues of a wealthy family, and -of course- the typical soap-opera characters. So much happens in so short a time, and every event is so over the top, that everything ends up feeling rushed and even ridiculous.

Characters - 1
The characters are the martyr heroine that everybody envies and resents, and the perfect wealthy and handsome ... prince. Nothing new, really. Furthermore, I tend to hate josei manga that impose the "ideal" reach and handsome types.
The dialogs are bad. But the characters' inner thoughts are even worse, they are just too unrealistic, and they sometimes seem to have been put there just to explain the unexplainable. I really hate it when they come up with lines such as: "Oh! I can feel the warmth of his body. But I have just met him, I need to move away. Ah, uh, oh... Why am I feeling drawn to him?"

Art - 3
The art isn't as bad as the story, but I am not that keen on "Barbie-looking" female characters. The guy is supposed to be handsome, but he isn't really.

This is not a manga I enjoyed reading. I finished it because it's short... but I wouldn't recommend it.
