//A cliché or cliche is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.//

so you have it... all this story is giving you is a shower of old overused cliches...starting with a good old one unpopular girl~popular boy (or be it otherwise)...and than we have a love rival or two and some kind of a twist well in this case its a rather weak one...starting with main heroine...she gave some kind of promise in first chapter ... until she fell down to a good old bag of shoujo cliches *oh why does my heart beat so fast?* and *why does she/he hates me?* and the funny part is that her special ability or be it her charm point (beside unusual cold hands o.0) is her amassing skill in perception...she sees it all and know its all...and yet she menages to be utterly ignorant and annoyingly confused all the time...about other characters in this manga...hmm...well the other main char. ~popular rich boy in this case, have no personality except when he s with the main heroine than he becomes... oh what a surprise...horny or jealous depending on the situation...other characters also have quite generic shoujo personalities so there isn't any unexpected development just plain old rivalry, a few tears, a few lame jokes and a lot of bubbles...

well after all this criticism i must redeem myself and say that i really don't hate shoujo i even started reading manga 'coz of it...and maybe that's why i always compare old shoujo mangas with latest ones maybe that's why i cant just enjoy in mangas like this one because well frankly compared to Kare Kano, Gokinjo Monogatari, Nana (mah all the work from Ai Yazawa) Lovely Complex, Koukou Debut and lot more, this story lakes in many many things and gives no originality...mind me i easily pass a few cliches goes by, but there always must be some deepness into it...
