This manga is pretty bad. It's a story about a girl who moves in with the popular kids (who are treated like celebrities inside and outside of school).

Story: 4
The flaws in this story are prevalent, and its hard to see how the love interest actually develops. One moment theres a rival, next moment everyone hates the main character. Its pretty rocky and annoying to see our main character get so much hate for practically nothing (But hey theres a happy ending?).

Art: 7
I usually cant find any flaws in the art of mangas, hence why i give them all high scores. But this one was ... average and there are sometimes pages that are too flowery, but you can get over them.

Character: 3
The main character is a pushover and gets abused. The main love interest is a cocky insensitive bastard who somehow becomes a loving and caring companion (what?). The rest are all flat without any type of dimension.

Enjoyment: 3
It's a really painful read, but I make a commitment to finish every manga I start. This time it was a mistake.

Overall: 5
Probably don't waste your time on this.

At first this manga was very funny. A misunderstood girl living with a bunch of shallow fakers in order to make some sort of reality TV mini-series. She is forced to be the girlfriend of the fake school prince, who is actually a total jerk. I generally don't like tsundere characters, but I was willing to give him a chance.

Eventually, this got painful to read. He's not even a tsundere. He's a shallow human being who treats the main character like trash, but has occasional moments in which he isn't completely terrible. However, for some reason, she falls in love with him anyway. Maybe ... this wouldn't have been as bad if there wasn't a wonderful, nice guy crushing on her. He is clearly the better choice, but in the end she's in love with the cruel guy. It was honestly just too hard for me to read. He essentially abuses her, and she falls in love with him anyway. He's not even one of those characters who's bad but you still like. There are zero redeeming qualities for him. He scoffs her feelings, telling her to keep it to herself, he treats her cruelly and bosses her around.

It is such a great manga. The only thing that sucks is the main plot point: the romance. It was very disappointing. As much as I wanted to make myself finish it, it just hurt too much to read.
