**Story: 4/10
The plot description showed A LOT of potential and I was pretty instantly captivated. However, the storyline only went down from there. Two troubled people in a relationship; there are many things you can do with characters like that.
Admittedly, Love Attack! has many extremely funny moments that nearly made me cry, but the humour and romance just wasn't enough to compensate for the terrible storyline. It started really good and then got silly. You've got a jealous crossdresser, a psycho bishounen, among other things.
The arc with Tachibana and Shigeru felt like the author was trying too hard to make it connect with
...
the audience. It very vaguely reminded me of the story arc in Mars with Masao Kirishima, except this time very poorly done.
The only reason I kept reading this was because of the comedy. If you want a funny read and don't care much for plot, this one's for you.
**Art: 9.5/10
The art was very pleasing to the eye, something I really liked. There was a lot of expression and emotion in the art, which made funny moments even more hilarious.
**Character: 7/10
Akifumi and Chiemi are pretty unique and similar characters. It's not every day you see a couple like that! In shoujo anime/manga, most couples are opposites. You've got the bad boy and the shy girl, the stupid guy and the smart girl, etc. However, I really wished that the two of them would show more personality. I felt that the only thing I really remembered them for was when Akifumi got jealous or Chiemi got jealous. It seemed that jealousy was the only thing that drove the plot along.
**Overall: 6/10
This was enjoyable up until the 2nd story arc, then I lost interest, except it still maintained its comedy, so I finished it. A little disappointing, since it showed a lot of promise at first. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who enjoys a good storyline.
