First I’d just like to say the synopsis given of this manga does absolutely no justice. It’s literally a summary of chapter one which doesn’t even cover the basic plot.

I’ve only read up to chapter 37. I’ll continue to read it as more chapters are released and I will update my review when I’m finished.

The story circulates around Ageha and Hana, twin sisters who have just started high school. Hana is the popular girl. She does her best to stand out and be better than everyone else, especially her sister. Ageha on the other hand, does her best to go unnoticed. She feels inferior in comparison to her sister and wish’s for nothing more than to switch places. The sisters are a bit of a paradox, they want what the other one has and they want to be their own person. I don’t want to spoil anything so I'll just go over the basic's...the majority of the story is about Ageha’s relationship and Hana coming to terms with her sister’s happiness. Ageha’s relationship is touchy. I don’t find it unrealistic or impossible but more taboo?... Basically there’s a big age gap and because of their positions they shouldn’t really be dating. I didn't get to hung up on this, the characters benefit from each other so well you kind of just accept it.

I totally love the character development all around. Ageha changes from shy, quiet, and invisible to strong, decisive, and beautiful. You’ll like and dislike her character at times but you see her maturing and what progress she is making towards her character. Hana’s development I actually liked the best. The majority of the time you’ll hate her character and she’s a little over the top…As time goes on she learns she doesn’t always need to compete with Ageha, they can both have their happiness. Kyuu’s character also goes through some things too. It has him dealing with loss and regret that he repressed for years from a previous relationship. This is where I stopped but I liked where it was going. There is interaction from family/friends as well that encourages and shapes the main characters.

I recommend reading this one, I found it really entertaining. Just reading the synopsis I would have passed it up. I put it on my list only because the sisters reminded me of another manga I enjoyed reading. I’m glad I gave it a chance.
