I'm tossing up between giving this manga a 7 or 8, if only there was 7.5 I would have given it, but I'll settle with a 7.


Story: 7
What attracted me to this story is girl meets a famous guy from a rock band, who then hires her to become the band's lyricists. The two main characters quickly develop feelings for each other and soon fall in love - in which they make love ALOT (yes, there are many sex scenes).

Along the story there are a few obstacles they have to overcome, such as jealous rivals and ex-partners who intend to break the two apart ... or intending to snatch one of the main characters away from another. Sometimes I did find it quite ridiculous of the methods they used to break them apart which I considered (in real life) highly illegal such as drugging, kidnapping and rape. And what I find more ridiculous is the amount of male characters introduced in the manga for drama purposes who are quickly infatuated at first sight with the main female character, and who will do whatever it takes to have her.

So as the story goes, I liked how it started in the beginning but it became too messy with its ridiculous plots along the way. I know it's to create some drama, but I think it's too over the top.

Character: 7
Aine the main female character can sometimes be abit insecure and has low-self esteem because she is dating Sakuya one of the hottest guys in Japan. She always has doubts about Sakuya's love and tends to get jealous easily. She is also abit of a clutz and ignorant (maybe too trusting and innocent) who always follow/help strangers knowing that they have a hidden motive i really did shake my head at her).
But towards the end of the manga, her character improves and she becomes stronger from the pain she suffered and endured which I find refreshing.

Sakuya the main male character is very possessive of Aine and can get jealous easily. He has a dark history which makes him fear love and thinks it's a waste of time. But as soon as he meets Aine he changes himself for the better and becomes a happier person. I enjoyed how his character changes over time and no matter how many beautiful women surrounds him, he only cares for and loves Aine and would do anything to protect his loved ones. Not only that I also enjoyed his passion and his love for music and his band mates.

The manga would have been better if we had explored more of Sakuya's band mates, because during the whole manga, it felt like the band mates were just there to fill the pages and not much backstory is said about them.

Also it would have been nice to see where the characters introduced for the plot have been to, it just seemed like they appeared and disappeared without knowing where they are or what they are doing.

Art: 7
The artwork was lovely, although what did bother me was the abnormally large hands of Sakuya and the strange and always varying height differences between Aine and Sakuya.

Enjoyment: 7
I enjoyed the manga and I liked how the author made Aine and Sakuya's love become stronger through its (ridiculous) plots. Although it could do with less sex scenes and focus more on the romance. I wouldn't mind one or two sex scenes, but it got abit too much (like once every few chapters) which made it unromantic and didn't leave much emotional impact - like the author just gave us sex scenes as fanservice.
