Synopsis

Everyone thinks 16-year-old Ryouko has weird taste in guys because she can't stop drooling over Ryuu, the strong silent type who sits next to her in class. When she discovers he works for a host club—where women actually pay men to date them—will she finally wise up? Or will he leave his job to be with her? Or will she take a job at the club so he can quit so she can be with him so...? Only one thing's for sure in B.O.D.Y.—you can't put a price on love!

B.O.D.Y. wasn't what I was expecting from the synopsis. Not at all. The story was put together really well. Every thing flowed together as one, there were no choppy points where one was left going "hmm.. what did I miss here." Which is wonderful. It has growth, complication, laughter, tears, a twist here and there and a well done ending, which to me can make or break a manga.

The characters were great with a good depth to them. They weren't super deep to the point were you had to take notes, and they weren't shallow. They were kids learning about life, love and heart break. ...

The story sounded good enough in the summary so i picked it up. A girl who falls for a boy who is at first seems like a good shy boy but actually it's all for appearance and he's working as a host after school.
But this is all. Just an interesting concept. After this is all used in the first volumes your left with a very typical boring to death story.

Preliminary (44/62 eps)
I found this manga on MAL and it seemed interesting. I've been reading manga for years and just recently I've turned to MAL to find new ones.

I really wanted to like this story to be honest, but I hate Fuji. I straight up hate his character. I'm a fan of the whole scarred past, and the bad boy thing still I can't make myself like him.
He's immature, both characters fall in love way to quickly to be realistic and it seems from the very beginning that she is wrapped around his finger and will just blindly follow him anywhere. (think Naruto to Sakura, and ...
