Review:
This
is clearly an early series by Toyama, because her newer stuff is done
so much better.
Firstly,
the drama is okay. I don’t mind all the competing and rivals
showing up. I didn’t particularly care for any of them, but that
was okay.
My
biggest problem was the romance. It’s given so much attention, and
yet feels so underdeveloped. I didn’t feel the chemistry or
attraction between any of the characters. I didn’t see why she was
in love with him this entire time. And in the end, I really didn’t
believe that he was returning her feelings. There wasn’t enough
time given to develop their mutual romantic feelings, and so having
the series end with a wedding just annoys me. It’s such a cliché
for no reason.
That
part does really annoy me, but I didn’t hate this series. It was
okay—the friendships weren’t bad, the idea was okay, the art
wasn’t bad. I’m just not impressed with it.
