Bara no tameni has standard plot, standard art, but extraordinary characters. The story is simple, you can find it a LOT. But i bet you will never find any manga that more enjoyable for this genre. I can not tell you how much i love and enjoy this manga. Even though the story is simple, but the characters have their own charm. You will unable to hate every character in this manga. If you just want to feel positive, cheerful, and not stressed out because of antagonist character, i believe you need this manga. Hey, don't get me wrong, these characters not a saint, not pure heartedperson, instead there are lot of flaws in each character. They have different personalities but none of them makes me feel uncomfortable and stressed out.

Yes the story is simple, but seriously it is not cheesy like typical shoujo romance. This manga jokes sometimes give me a hard laugh. And most of them makes me giggling and smiling all the time.

To conclude all, i will say this manga is light without being cheesy, enjoyable, attractive, and recommended to everyone who is sick of cheesy shoujo romance.
