i dont know why people rate this manga low (when i write this, rate is 6.XX). first thing first, i think this manga only about something like... fishy romantic genre... but I WAS WRONG

if you guys see until newest chapter, i will says this manga have a best story that can make me so sad. sorry but i can't say why it make u sad, but if you came from poor family like me. i think you can feels what i feels right now when reading this.

until now i think this is the most emotional-drama and romance i ever had.

now came to real review
the story ... like i said unpredictable you can't think A character is good and B character is bad because all you can think when reading this manga will perish when you read next chapter so story 10/10 for me

For art, yeah this manga is good manga and have good art for me when read it on 13 sep 2020, so if you guys coming from future, pls dont judge to hard. and yeah 9/10 for me.

for character, i will give 10/10. like i said before, every character have unique story and have their problem so with all of that, this manga i sure will have a great story on next chapter.

for enjoyment, i give 9/10 because this can make me sad like first time i read manga koe no katachi, i think this can have same emotional story inside.

and yeah... overall i will give this manga 10/10
why?
you see... manga that update until now, majority of them have "bad" story even when they have a good art... and i think, this manga will get you to another level of manga,
if first you think this just "normal shitty romance-drama" well... you wrong :)
you will experience the feels of any character inside this manga.

oh yeah 1 again, i think, you guys musn't skip or "fast reading" the earlier chapter of this manga, even when that will be boring for you, but in earlier chapter this manga have an orientation of every charater and their problem, so pls read carefully. in past i also fast reading on chapter 1-2 and after i re-read again from first chapter, i can get what the meaning of the character on the lastest chapter. so remember dont skip any text when you reading a manga :)

thanks for read my potato review...
sorry for my bad english, in my country indonesia, English is not primary or even second language that i speak so i try my best to write this review
so sorry if i have some grammar error or something like that, i just want contribute to MAL forum with my review :)

This is a corny romance with a trite message that despite being a short manga, drags on unnecessarily. The idea for this story is similar to an old passage from the bible. "Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all ... gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.'" I am not even religious and I feel like that the passage expresses the idea much better than this manga. At least there is no sappy romance or an incredibly unsophisticated drama.

Reading this manga felt like someone who doesn't have the faintest idea about poverty trying to poorly depict it. The feeble attempt to show the hardship of having little money feels numb when the characters are incredibly shallow and have so little personality. The contrast of trying to portray a realistic setting with such a pretty but flimsy cast is awful. Souta's mother might be the only character with an actual personality, but she is so poorly fleshed out that she ends up being the villain since in this story you are either an angel (like the male and female protagonists) or the devil. She could have been a complex and pitiful character, but instead she is just straight out evil.

This is the type of manga that if you read when you are young, you might think it is deep. But if you are older, most likely you have seen all things trying to be told in the story better portrayed in several other titles and mediums.

This story is about a poor boy who struggles with financial and family issues. In school, he has no friends and no one he can rely on as he is often left out. Despite this, he stays positive.

One day, he meets the female lead, under a bridge, which is commonly known as a place to buy prostitutes. In an attempt to know more about the female lead, he tries to buy her. This starts a pure and cute relationship between the two.

All the characters except the two leads are annoying and not likable at all. However, the drama makes the story better even though ... it is frustrating. It allows the two leads t develop their relationship and become closer to each other.

I can't believe this is rated so low! This is my second review in the 6 years of being on this website. That is how much I believe this is underrated!

First of all I truly believe this manga would benefit from having a "psychological" tag, that is because its not a story about prostitution at all! It is a story about ABUSE!


I really think a lot of people are missing the point, or maybe missed a lot of the early subtle(and less than subtle) indicators that this was an abuse focused story. On a surface level it may appear as the main character is stupid ... or weak, but he's a very strong person for even dealing with what he does. I think what I appreciated about this manga was how it approached the topic in a way that portrays isolated nature of abuse and how the main character isn't even aware of the full extent of his situation. If you ask me it was a very reasonable portrayal of mental and parental abuse, and I know people close to me who had experienced similar abuse.

So, I don't know how to start it, but sorry for my bad english, I'm studying yet.

Story 7/10 - That story could be more developed if this manga had more chapters, because we can think in very different things to integrate in the plot. The idea to have a drama romance involving "prostitution"/payment is really good, in that story could have explorated more the mommy's issues and other people discovering about the girl, and how she had to explain waht she was doing, and how the rival girl get her horrible personality. Also we saw a critic about prostitution, mental problems, money problems and choices ... for the future,. I liked, but I think if it had more chapters that manga could be one of the best drama, but the finish was really good, I liked!

Art 7/10 - It is a good art, there some problems in the outline of the characters and failed a little in their shape, as sometimes it seemed that the protagonist was muscular, at other times skinny, as well as in the main heroine, who in parts had a gigantic bust, in others the waist and shoulders were bigger, but apart from that, the setting is really cool and the expression designs are really, really cool.

Characters 7/10 - Why 7/10? That question has the same answer of the story... if this had more chapters the development of the carathers could be incredible, it's good in the all 23 chapters, but lacked aspects like a more mommy's development about her son's relationship with haru, more haru family problems, how the rival girl get her personality, it can also developed the relantionship of the teacher with Souta, and how the teacher helps him or not, but apart from that, the characters are very well written.

Enjoyment 8/10 - you can read this manga in a few hours and ask for more, is so good to read it, there is something that atracts you to continuing reading, it makes you sad, happy, worried, but it doesn't disappoint you, really easy to read and very interesting!

Well, here is my take on this one. First, like the you can tell from the synopsis, the blonde girl isn't "pure" (or at least she doesn't look like) so as you can expect... this really lowers the rating so consider that before dropping this.

This story is sad yet wholesome, despite having the 2 sides of the coin it doesn't feels forced at all. The art is great and the pace is nice and it has a couple of plot twists that spice the things up.

This is the story of a young guy poor dude, with family issues and he gets picked on ... because of these things. Despite saying this, the story doesn't revolves about this last point despite being relevant.

Every characters has it's issues and it's fair share of time. You really get some development on them.

The art is nice and pretty detailed. The girls are cute, including the mc's mom, lol. The backgrounds are ok too, not much to say because it's a normal modern setting.

I really recommend to check this one, a really interesting story with a lot of emotions and character development. I really wonder how this will end, because I have no idea considering how the things play out in this story.
