Predictable     Jul 12, 2007     reviewed by Obsessed    

The artwork is beautiful and I wouldn't except anything less from Viz's shojo line. However, the artwork is classic for any shojo work with the same pretty lines and similar faces. In fact if you've read any of Takada's other works the character look all alike. Just compare the covers of Happy with Punch.

The plot is incredibily formulatic. By the first volume you can guess where this one is going. Granted there are a few plot twists but they remain resolved before the individual volume is completed.

What makes me so sad about this work is that the heroine starts out so strong. More so than anyother shojo heroine I've seen, but by the end of the 5th volume she is just another boy-crazed girl. I also think the author played up the sex end of this story way too much. That is pretty much the focus of the work! The only hinderence to actual sex is the that fact that the main character's love interest is phobic towards girls. Like that's never been tried before.

Also supporting characters are sadly underdeveloped. The class president was the most consistently interesting and the most widely ignored.

Overall, for a high school romantic comedy I've read better works.

Hilarious and cute     Dec 03, 2008     reviewed by DothackerDiann    

I really like the main character and the boy who falls in love with her, it's hilarious to see what he really sees in women! Lot's of good moments and high school romance.

An entertaining time...     Jun 19, 2008     reviewed by amusmental (Julie)    

I have to agree with some of the complaints of Obsessed. The main character disappointed me after a while. She did indeed start out strong and charismatic, only to turn into another brainless fangirl. She tries way to hard to the point that you kind of want to smack her upside the head in one or two situations. Other than that, however, I had a good time reading it, her goofy behavior makes you want to laugh and the awkwardness of the boy makes you want to see what will happen with each of them next. The artwork is great, too; I love the artist's chipmunk cheeks on the characters. Heehee. I'd definitely suggest giving it a try!
