Just finished re-reading this series. Since I hadn't touched it since it ended, it is as cute as I , but also plot holes and all the side stories sadly do not get finished. If you have read a ton of shojo will this be predictable? Oh yes it will, but the characters are still fun.

This is a longer series, but it still manages to feel very rushed at times. The two mani characters are well-rounded. The side characters, kind of? In some ways they are and in others they are not. Don't want to give any spoilers so will not give any examples. ...

I still wuold recommend it as a light-hearted read between longer and maybe more serious series when you need a change of pace. I will more than likely re-read again, but not for another 10ish years since that is how long it took me to be ready to read for a second time.

this manga had its moments, some of the male characters are pretty, but it just runs on for far too long. there is a story somewhat unique in the shoujo romance genre based around the whole hacker thing, but the main team is basically invincible and the solutions to all the problems are almost childish. think like, the solution was love the whole time! stuff like that. i did enjoy the beginning, it seemed like a classic sweet shoujo, but then the back and forth of doubting themselves and each others feelings (due to misunderstandings and miscommunications, of course) and the constant "kurosaki is a ... p*do" jokes turned me off of it completely. there's a degree to which i can pretend that they're around the same age, but the amount of times kurosaki freaks out about not having a "loli complex" makes it impossible. at the end of the day, he is a 23 year old and she is 15/16, and they remind you of that a lot throughout the story. it's kind of gross.

there is some potential there, however, and if you're used to reading basic shoujo stories maybe this could bring some excitement for how different the main storyline is from the usual. but i can't recommend it, especially if you can't stomach adult/minor relationships.

The story is ok, the art is stylized and I actually kinda like it, the MC is fun and the ing characters are fun too.

But the thing that ruins everything for me is that our main character is a 16 year old high school girl while her love interest, who we are supposed to root for, is the high school janitor and he's 24. That, my friends, is something the law calls "illegal", and I like to call it "gross" and "pe/do". (Also, if you try to justify an adult dating a child with the age of consent in Japan, then 1) you ... pe/dos and 2) in many places in Japan the age of consent is 18.) Not to say that that is the only reason why I don't really like Teru's and Kurosaki's relationship; he's extremely toxic towards her, and while this is a comedy manga so it can easily be brushed off, I'm just not here for it.

This could've worked just fine if Teru was a senior (aka 18 years old) and Kurosaki a bit younger, or if this would've been in an university setting, OR if Kurosaki would've been a senior while Teru stayed as a second year student. Literally, any of those and this would've been actually enjoyable.
