How hard can it be to write a decent story with a decent ending. Up until the last 5-10 chapters. I would’ve given this manga a solid 7 maybe an 8 out of 10. This is my first review and I just need to express my disappointment.
The story starts out with an interesting unique premise in romcoms, a story of revenge. The MC starts out seeking revenge on the FMC who humiliated him long ago when they were children. Now an unrecognizable attractive high schooler he seeks out the FMC and wants to cause her the same pain she caused him, but as he spends more time in his quest of revenge he builds real friendships with the students around him.
This is pretty much where the uniqueness ends, the situations and scenarios the characters find themselves in feel pretty generic. Despite being generic, the manga managed to hold my interest as new details were revealed about the past. New love rivals are introduced, and the MC is forced to confront his conflicting feelings of seeking revenge and accepting the new relationships he’s built.
Everything seems to be going well, although it feels very rushed, progress is being made in the story and then BAM! Big twist in the plot right towards the end. I was completely caught off guard, “What ? No way the author would do that!” This twist was not something I wanted, but it is something I welcomed. Right as the story was getting boring he managed to surprise me and hold my interest. I was looking forward to where he was going with this sudden twist and then BAM! Two chapters later and he takes it back.
Why even tease the readers with the sudden revelation and then take it back ? The author makes it seem like our MC will take this new road no one knew existed and then closes it once again. It makes no sense how these characters flip flop between their feelings. One chapter they feel a certain way then the next they feel completely opposite with no context to explain it.
I enjoyed this manga but the ending feels rushed and characters have no explanation for the decisions they make.
