This is one of the most random stories I have ever read. I was expecting a bit more from it, but it was still pretty good.

Story: As I said, random. It was interesting, but pretty predictable throughout the whole thing. The side story “Very Dark White Day” also wasn’t that good. There’s not really much more I can say about that.

Art: The art was decent. It was a quince style, and I found I really liked it. It was a bit award at times, but overall it was pretty wonderful.

Characters: The characters are very original in their own way. The way they interact with ...

Warning: most of review is me babbling on about this manga, this might be long
STORY: This manga was pretty good. Not as good as beast master and it isn't even in the same LEAGUE as Dengeki Daisy(then again, not many manga are) but it was really enjoyable. (it was written before these two, so he wasnt as experienced)
this one was pretty cute

The story was pretty decent, i wouldnt say amazing, but a 7 or 8 out of 10. If I were you I wouldn't mind, though. the mangaka only had a few chapters to fit it, so if you consider that then ... he kicked a*s..(not with the Black White Day side story though. it was pretty cliche)i also like how the whole romance thing is usually resolved pretty quickly without the huge drama of it i most of his manga

ART: well, as for art, all i can say is..AMAZING as always!! Kyousuke Motomi always has such great work. this one didnt shine as much as his others, but it is still way better than most manga. you dont have to get used to the characters being ikky to enjoy it, caus they arent. his art style is very pretty and just gives the characters a nice aura to them. it will mke you smile. he is one of my favorites for art, equal(not surpassed by, i love them both, as i do others, just cant remember em now) to jun mochizuki(pandora hearts, especially the cover art, ).

Character: the characters for this are all pretty funny.i love the bead club. they were all so hilarious when they would go undercover.(like in OHSHC) takumi was very likable to me. so was tebuki. the "crow messenger" name was a trip. all in all, good characters for such a short manga. it shows you the mangaka really cares

Enjoyment: ummm...... wat to say beside i really enjoyed it? it was a fun read. i highly recommend i to people who are either bored out of there brains reading loooong mnga, people with commitment issues, or people who love kyouske motomis manga(im this one).

Overall: im soo tired of typingggggggg. overall, good,cute, funny, not super super cliche read(except the side story with the girl who got chaeated on. that one was not-sogood,very boring and cliche, but its not even connected to bead club, so dont worry) ok ok ok ...i recomend you read it. im very sorry for the super long review.if you haven't read beast master or dengeki daisy, you HAVE to read them(ESPECIaLLY dengeki daisy) dengeki daisy is not the steariotypical shojo. the characters actually have flaws, but motomi takes that and embraces it, and it makes it just that much better.(i like how most ofhis female heroins aren't exzactly the same(in one chapter stories i understand somewhat if they are, but he usually does a good job about it)theyre not whiny prissy freaks.yeah they cry, but it'sfor reasons that are understandable. READ da BEAD!! did i really just say that?
thanks for actually reading this looong review.

Mixed Feelings

Art: The manga is nicely drawn, especially Takumi (the mangaka is the same of Dengeky Daisy and Beast Master).

Story: It's very simple and easy to follow... The girl, who's very strong and manly, transfers to another school where she hopes to find love. She will then join a beads club who's president is a "scary" boy, Takumi, who's also, with the other members of the club (all weirdos) part of the secret school councelers.

I think the manga is a bit too short, it doesnt say much about the story between the two main characters, neither about Takumi's misterious personality (crows are always following him).
I would ...
