Mixed Feelings

Ugh, Idol Shopping... i dont really know where to begin with this. The story kicks off pretty fast with a high school girl who is hired to beat up some bullies and manages to throw punches in two wrong directions. She later learns that her beloved twin-brother is coming home from his year of studying in some school which is appereantly far enough for him not to visit home for a year but in case of an emergency everyone can get there within few pages. Anyway! The brother soon realizes the plot must go on and tries to commit suicide which causes the main girlto dress up as his brother and attend the school so that he wouldnt be expelled for not attending classes. The basic idea of this manga is that its a love triangle between two guys and girl. The guys arent exactly that interesting, blond haired guy is somekinda superstar that has to come back to school after a year of touring or something. He is by far the most interesting of the two because he has some form of a personality to him. He doupts himself, makes mistakes, panics and shows his feelings. Unlike him we have the second love interest, black haired guy who on the otherhand is the student council president and shows absolutely no feeling. It was really hard to like this ice cold guy. In short im not very fond of the characters. The main girl was fun at the beginning but she got way too into stuff later on. Antagonists of this story got way annoying way too fast. Art can get a bit confusing in parts if you fail to pay attention. One of the characters cuts his hair and i mistook him for somebody else for a whole chapter which made things quite akward. I think this was a nice story but i found some things lacking or annoying. Its not a very long manga tho so it can be breezed through within couple hours and i didnt feel like i wasted too many minutes of my life on this.

Over all: 8 I found this story quite entertaining, with all the drama and comedy combined it awesome! There only somethings that kind of get me and that's the ending (not the I'm going to say what it was) I mean it was just to rushed and left to may questions unanswered, it seemed like there was supposed to have one or two more chapter to sum it all up but, no it just left it how it was. Other than that it was good with here and there thing that could of been tweaked. :D Story: 8 I love all the drama, it's so good to thepoint in got me on the verge of tears. I mean with the heroine's past and all troubling discussions she had to choose.. Though It's quite sad when you are stuck between a love triangle and you the reader loves bother of the boys and wish that they could both end up with her.... but even with all the drama there plenty of comic relief to brake the tension... All in all it equals out to a fun story that you will love... Art: 6 I thought It could of been better, though i am picky when it come to the art, but for people that aren't as picky as me you should love it..:D Characters: 7 I love all there personalty. because there unique in there own way and ever change a little over time.. so if your a person that only read the first couple of chapter to see if you like, you better keep reading because there a hole at that you will be missing if you stop there... Enjoyment: 9 I enjoyed it alot and i think so will you.. So give it ago and read it, you wont be disappointed except when it ends ...:D

I have no objection to the in the manga. The characters are interesting characters, there are characters that are full of secrets. There are also characters who are idiots, but no idiot will probably in any manga. Why do I like that manga? Because I like the manga where the girl disguises herself as a boy and attended the boys boarding school ... I like gdzy bochaterka is not the girl who can not cope without help. I like bochaterka knows when to fight and it does not look like the opinion of others does not care what any attention .... As for the story as it also did nothave any objections.
