IT'S NOT THAT KIND OF STORY.
Although the review might make it seem like that...
Characters:
Mei is awkward, unpoular, of course, but not in the typical shoujo sense. She is awkward becouse she is not like the others and that also leads to being unpopular. But she is surely not lame. At first, she doesn't give a damn about the people targeting her, but at the beggining of our story, she actually kicks the most popular guy in school, Kurosawa Yamato, because she mistakes him for on of her bullies. Also, she doesn't give up her morals after getting together with The Guy...
Yamato... hella hot, popular, but really far from being rude. Though don't except the "Kimi no Todoke" style protagonist, because he's not such a shy cutesy guy either. He actually HAS personality. Rare, isn't it?
Supporting chars:
You get to love all of them in the end, even the most annoying ones. They also have their own personalities. The mangaka did a good job.
Story:
You can guess they will end up together anyway, but it's not the kind of story that goes downhill after finally getting the two main chars together. Mei doesn't change her appearance just because of dating or liking Yamato, and our protagonist also doesn't change his cool personality after meeting his beloved.
Still, it's a shoujo manga, and it doesn't miss out real shoujo stuff. Though it changes it. It's like we're reading the same scenes we have already read in thousands of mangas before, all over again, from a different perspective.
Also, it's not that smut, so if you're expecting some airheaded "let's do it" story with "hot" scenes, like f.e. in Honey x Honey Drops (shame on me for even writing down its title..), it's probably not the best choice for you. It has it's own sex scenes, of course, but they are not disgusting or sweaty at all. They seem more natural. It's a manga with character development, with a common, but great storyline, and NOT a porn.
Art:
A bit different, but all in all a typical shoujo style. Although the guys seem much hotter and - maybe - manly, too.
If you like a clean style, without all that sparkly stuff, instead big eyed heroines, pretty supporting chars and hot boys, this manga was made for you.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next chapter (40) to come out.
