I have been reading a lot of romance mangas recently, some good and some bad. I have began to notice tropes that get used time and time again. I imagine that someone wanting to read this will probably be in the same position as I was: familiar with the subject matter. Therefor I am not going to break down the entire romance genre or its pros and cons in story telling. I instead want to focus on what this manga does within that genre to make it stand out.

Firstly, the characters aren't too bad. A constant problem that a lot of romance mangas seem to have is that the female lead doesn't have a personality or life of her own. Our female lead here does need constant saving, but at the same time she is capable of independent thoughts. She does make decisions, which is nice to see. The male leads are pretty typical, with many of them being asses. However I felt that most of the characters still had enough of a back story to make the reader care about them. There were times when a back story would be
brought up only to be dropped again and that disappointed me because there were several times where character development could have happened.

Enough of the analyzation of characters. The plot is what matters here...and man is it dramatic! I loved it. I couldn't stop reading this manga and finished it in about 2 days (during finals week even). The handling of the story is what makes the characters shine and it really has a life to it. You can tell it was meant to entertain and keep you guessing.

This manga has a ton of romance tropes, but that is to be expected. The handling of said tropes is what makes this manga such a joy to read.
