Momo Adachi's best trait is the fact that I have never seen a shoujo protag like her. She is very powerful but emotional, and she is a character the perfectly defines that everyone should have self-love. She is dark-skinned, and deals with sexual harassment. Sae Kashiwagi is a very evil girl; her character is terrible, but not in a bad way. Sae's character is very well written, and 100% relatable for people who have dealt with girls like her. On the complete other side of the spectrum, however, the male characters are TERRIBLE. Toji is like a piece of cardboard, I don't understand why he of anyone is the love interest. He is stale and clueless, so clueless that it's annoying. Kairi/Kylie is a bit better, but his hypocrisy is equally irritating. You'll understand if you read.
Art - 7
Art style is very good, and deviates from the norm, especially from the 90s and early 2000s when anime was developing it’s very moe look. Colored art on manga cover is a little unappealing, looks out of place for art style, and may drive possible modern readers away. Very expressive and I found no issue with anatomy. Again the cover art is…..hm...
Plot - 6.5
Plot is overall actually really good, but the reason I’m giving a 6.5 rather than a 7 or 8 is because of some of the actions that the protagonists make that seem COMPLETELY out of character. I will not go into detail to avoid spoilers. A lot of things are over dramatic, but I never attended Japanese high school, so I have so clue from experience if drama is the same as it’s treated in the manga. I don’t see why Momo would even have respect for Toji after much of the drama. Just give up on him girl! But the reason I’m giving a 6.5 rather than a 6 or 5 is because the plot problems didn’t start happening until about halfway through the series, and I can forgive some of the issues.

Honestly couldn't put the series down despite it's flaws!
