High School Debut
review 1: Haruna becomes uneasy when Yoh begins spending more and more time with an unattractive, but very persistent, prep school classmate of his... with good reason! It's obvious that this girl has the intention of breaking Haruna and Yoh up so that she can have him all for herself! She causes many fights and awkward situations between the two and even causes them to "break up"! Will Haruna and Yoh's bond be enough to get through this one? Or was this to be a short-lived love preordained from the very day the two met?Miyabi was really irritating, and I /know/ I would have hated her in real life if I was /any/ of the six main characters, but... I just can't hate her in the book. I don't really want her to play much a role again in the series, but, I just can't hate her. She is jus... moret so... pitiful. Also, I really like Akito, her brother!! ;3 I would be upset, but I wouldn't mind that much if him and Haruna ended up together instead one day when/if it doesn't work out with Yoh.
review 2: I did not like the antagonist and the way Yoh believes everything she says, artificially if you ask me, to extend the gimmick. I find her final portrayal next to her sainted brother massively offensive. Equally offensive is the fat-shaming Haruna goes through, especially as it's used to comedic effect - and of course one round of heavy duty exercising has it all melt off.This storyline really shows that the manga should have stopped before then. There were good chapters to come but the fact that Kawahara-sensei was not stopped from doing this storyline really makes it clear they were grasping at straws to me. less
