review 1: This series is becoming more and more angst ridden, and not in a good way. Just too much drama. Too much. I'm also not a fan of this new weird dynamic between Shin and Maria. Shin is aware of Maria's psychological turmoil, and he decides he can't wait any longer and forces he...

review 1: This is definitely getting better. I love the art, it's gorgeous and Maria is a complex character, along with the people who surround her. She's not one dimensional and she's a really different type. In this issue we see the girls getting meaner and meaner as they are manipulated...

review 1: 3.5, rounded.Even though the artwork's kinda weird and manga always looks funny when they try to give women makeup, there's something a little creepy about this manga that makes it appealing as opposed to typical shoujo romance. It's a little refreshing though to have a female l...

review 1: Long term absentee Hana Ibuki returns to school and gets completely swept up in hating Maria, just like the rest of the ridiculous girls at Totsuka High. Fortunately, Hana originally meant well and Maria sees that and reaches out to her. The manipulation and drama by the popular ...

review 1: I have to admit, I preferred this book to the first one. The characters have smoothed out some, and some of Maria's 'secrets' are starting to be hinted at, rather than staying secrets. Also, she's not seeming quite as creepy. It's also nice to see she's made a friend, of sorts...

review 1: Actual rating: 3.5I debated going to a three, but I want to read the sequel so I decided the book should be given four stars.The Catholic school that the main character, Maria Kawai, came from and Catholic influence throughout the book was interesting. I, of course, didn't like h...

review 1: Seeing Maria being that shy around Shin was funny and she can't fully say to him that she love him. These two xDAnd that ex-friend of Maria turns out to be a very horrible person. That face she had at the end of the volume were just awful. So she has lied to Maria the whole time ...

review 1: So, it seems like the main conflict between Maria and Anna stems from the fact that Maria feels like expressing Anna's thoughts and emotions helps her, while Anna feels like it invalidates them in a way. When Maria expresses Anna's feelings, that doesn't mean that Anna herself ge...

review 1: There's not much plot to this series. It seems to be more character driven than anything else. I get that the main point is Maria's quest for redemption and to learn how to love herself, but I wish it had a better plot. It's just one petty occurrence after another. I don't see th...
