Review:
I was so excited
for this series, and now I’m a little disappointed. Which sucks.
The first part is
pretty rushed. We find out that Shusei is the popular guy in school, who gets
confessed to and fanned over all the time, and who doesn’t like it. He moves in
next door to Aoi, who lives alone. And by the end of the chapter, something
happens with Shusei’s apartment and so he stays with Aoi.
They get in to a
bit of trouble at times, what with trying not to let people know. Shusei
doesn’t really care, but Aoi does, trying to keep it from her best friend who
liked Shusei.
Mostly, the
characters seem very one-dimensional. Aoi is exaggerated and easily
embarrassed, pushing Shusei away. She tries not liking him for her friends
sake, though, and I liked that she did seem to have a true friendship with
another girl, who didn’t freak out upon finding out about Shusei. Shusei
definitely has his jerk moments, like when he tricks her into staying
handcuffed together for a day. But I also think that he truly doesn’t have an
interest in most girls, gets annoyed over the way they fan over him, but is
starting to like Aoi. I don’t see why, as she annoys me, and their chemistry is
so one-dimensional, but still.
This volume was
disappointing, but I will be giving it a couple more, because I see potential
in it. I hope it gets better.
