I really wish I could say I liked this series- the art was good, and the main SIDE characters are likable, but I didn't. The plot itself was VERY superficial, and sent a VERY negative message towards its target audience. The message the plot was trying to give out is to get friends, and to get a boyfriend, that a girl must change not only her appearance(become 'beautiful'), but also her entire personality as well. It also was giving the message that overweight people can never get a boyfriend because "no one will ever like them for their personality alone; it's just a fantasy", and

“Oh I’m getting an erection. Is it touching your back?”
I laughed I’m sorry but that up there is funny, which is the type of humor you find in Doubt!! You have to appreciate honest truths, even creepy ones. Having been an ugly duckling for all of her life and tired of people not noticing her in a good way, Ai decides, ‘enough is enough.’ During one summer she turns herself from a nerd into a princess, with a lot of effort, she looks completely different and the new school she’s starting will bring forth her “new and improved” life. Everything is going according to plans ...

At first I really enjoyed this series. I thought the protagonist has a very strong personality and fights until the end, and most of the time doesn't take creap from anyone, but there are many sides that made me dislike her. This series talks about a girl who was a geek before and when she entered high school she gave herself a makeover and made herself beautiful. I thought this was very superficial. I thought this girl tried to hard to become beautiful, and I believed she was a fake (she's trying too hard). This series talks about a girl who just makes a disguise

Unlike some people above me, I really liked this manga, and that's exactly because it's different. The main characters are different, than in common shoujo mangas, the plot seems to be pretty normal, but in the end, the story often moves in the opposite dirrection, then you expect. Some people call that unrealistic, but I think it's just original. I mean, 99 of 100 shoujo heroins would dump the guy imediately, if they knew, he was involved with other women(and that even in case it was just in the past, and not actual at all...), and I guess we all read it and hope, that

Being that I identified with Ai Maekawa, I particularly enjoyed this series. (I too was a girl that blossomed in high school). It's short, which helps the storyline to move along without much filler. The story is definitely deeper than a high school girl trying to rise to popularity; it focuses more on the psychological struggles of a girl thrust into the high school spotlight (without getting too deep). If anything, this series somewhat spoofs the whole high school hierarchy issue. And it definitely has quite a few "OMG what?" *burst into laughter* moments. I own all the volumes

This is one of those mangas that the more you read it, and the more you think about it, the less you like it. I mean, to tell you the truth, the only reason why I liked it to begin with was because the main female protagonist, Ai, was actually kinda hot, and because of the bewbs. ^_^
Lemme break it down. Story: 5 It actually started out pretty well, in my opinion. It had a strong opening and I actually enjoyed how Ai went from being a jimi (homely) to being a beautiful young lady. In fact, I loved it until the end. Then, after the end, ...

First of all, let me just warn you that the plot is VERY superficial and 'fake', if you will. Story starts off with our main heroine as a nerd, ugly and fat. However, because of various reasons (shown in manga), she decides to attend a high school where none of her junior high friends are going in order to change her appearance from 'jimmy' to 'hot stuff'. There she falls in love with our main hero, who is not the brightest, but 'who cares he's hot'. And the journey of superficial-ness begins. I was liking the manga at the beginning because Ai, main heroine, was

Yeah, this manga is pretty terrible. I got a couple of the volumes at a Book Off, having been drawn in by the mod cover art, but was shocked at what was inside. All of the messaging in this manga is terrible. The characters are shallow and gross, except for Yuichiro (second male lead), who deserved the main girl if only she wasn't so shallow like everyone else. All the characters talk about is sex, and in the grossest way possible.
The male lead is probably the worst character, not counting the gross, annoying, psycho 30 something teacher who competes with the main girl ...

I really liked Doubt!! because it is such a unique shoujo. It’s definitely not a life-changing manga and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. But that’s what makes it so refreshing. As someone who has read A LOT of romance manga, especially shoujo, the formula can get repetitive. That’s why, I really appreciate these funny mangas that are so unique. It’s definitely a older manga, so be ready for that difference.
As for the comment about the manga pushing a negative message, I don’t really agree. I found the manga to be very satirical, almost a commentary on society. I mean society is not pretty and ... |
