I guess I started reading expecting a little more, solely because the female protagonist wasn't your typical shoujo star. She was street smart, foul-mouthed, and aloof. I thought this manga would surely be an interesting quick read. I was disappointed. The character development was minute to non-existent and the plot just seemed dry all the way through. It took me a while to finish. On the brightside, the art was well-done and I could easily relate to the protagonist. I just wish she was more dynamic of a character.
