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
...
hotheaded and could 'fight', verbally, if you know what I mean. However, as the manga progressed, it got more and more on my nerves. It sends out a message to people that appearance IS everything, and it doesn't matter what your personality is like, as long as you're hot, you can get guys to fall head over heals in love. It indirectly states that because you are ugly, you cannot speak out, you can't have any confidence, for Ai states "how can she (ugly girl) have so much confidence looking like THAT?!". I found that to be horrible. Also, when our main hero states "Its true, I would rather date a pretty girl and an ugly one regardless of personality and you know it. That's why you wanted to become pretty isn't it?". Besides that, the art is fairly well drawn and that was the only reason I kept reading, unfortunately. If you don't take mangas and the message it sends out seriously, then I recommend you read it. Also, if you want to have a good laugh, this is the manga for you.
