Synopsis

Everything has an equal and opposite reaction. For Mahiru Yanase, this means that if anything good happens to her, misfortune must follow in its wake. This theory has been proven more than true since Mahiru is constantly being compared to her kinder and far cuter twin sister, Mayo.

Long accustomed to her own unluckiness, Mahiru is thrown for a loop when she meets Aoi Satomi, a handsome classmate who takes an interest in her! However, when he confesses his feelings soon after meeting, Mahiru knows that this is too good to be true—and something bad is sure to happen as a consequence. However, Aoi's arrival might just be the key to overturning Mahiru's bad luck.

If you sought out this manga, you may already be a fan of Taamo. She is a master of the shoujo romance. Her love stories about high school kids exist in a universe where adolescents always talk things out, sort through their complex feelings, and resolve their conflicts in a way adults can never manage. The Taamoverse is a parallel universe where everything turns out okay in the end, and the kids all end up as the smartest and most mature people in the room.

I think negative reviews of this manga come from readers who had unrealistic expectations and did not know what they were ...

"Sometime, fights happen because you just want to be understood, right? I don't think they're always bad. You've got to give them a chance to sort it out themselves, within reason."
~Satomi Aoi~

I got any points and moral lessons from this manga:
- Small kindness sometimes gives a huge impact. Small or big kindness is relative. Sometimes a small kindness for us, that sometimes its easily to forget, is a big kindness for another person, that they won't forget.

- Sometimes anger isn't bad. Anything what u say when you get angry is a honestly from your heart. Good or bad, it's based how u to deal with ...

Mixed Feelings

*Review contains spoilers*

Story 6/10
I must say this story had a lot of potential and I don't know why it was all packed in so little chapters. I am sure the short amount of chapter added to the reason why it all felt very rushed, but the manga has both strong and weak points:
-Strong: interesting characters and story lines, characters were mostly upfront about their feelings when they could. The story was concise about the points it was trying to convey. I really liked how the author played out Marihu's negative, invasive thoughts and how Marihu tried to fight them.
-Weak: man, these Japanese Shoujo writers do ... love their love triangles, huh? but specially the ones involving best friends and/or close relatives or people...why is that?!?! I found the love square in this manga completely unnecessary and rushed and out of the blue...I still can't understand how Ginga would be advising and cheering on Mahiru in one chapter about Aoi and the very next chapter he would be confessing to her. Aoi and Mahiru were already jealous about Ginga and Mayo respectively, therefore, Mayo and Ginga had no reason to confess (I mean, it served no purpose to the story than just having a love triangle for the sake of it). Another thing Japanese Shoujo writers seem to love is having one person infatuated with a teacher!! why?! and so weird that Ginga, Mahiru and Aoi would like to hang out with a teacher by the way. It's understandable in Moriya's case, but not the others...which reminds me, these Japanese writers also love having people confess when they know they don't have a chance...just for the sake of it? can't you like, take a hint? I mean, don't get me wrong, I am a very communicative person, I like expressing my feelings and all, but I wouldn't willingly put myself through the embarrassment and misery of confessing to someone I know I have zero chances with...that is what people got friends for, talk their ears off about that impossible love of yours, be miserable with them, write those feelings somewhere, but why go for imminent rejection?

Art 8/10
This manga's saving grace! Beautiful drawings. I really enjoyed each panel. I very much liked Aoi's design.

Character 6/10
Aoi: I liked how upfront he was with his emotions about liking Mahiru and how he kept reminding her even after she kept running away from him. To be honest, I don't really see why he fell so hard and quick for her, not that she wasn't cute or unlikable or plain...it's just, I don't see what she did to catch his attention? what I mean is, if he was popular and used to girls chasing him I would understand how being ignored or rejected would have an appealing effect on him. But he was rejected plenty of times before, and he had no friends other than Ginga, so I don't see why her rejection would hit him differently. I loved his relationship with his siblings (by the way, what happened to the other sibling? weren't they five children in total?).
Mahiru: yes, a bit annoying at first, but thank God, she was a quick learner and stopped being annoying. I must say, I find her struggles very relatable and realistic. However, this is not a character that is going to stick with me for long.
Mayo: I don't know...her "cute, polite, perfect girl" role didn't fool me. It always felt to me she was hiding something, like a bad personality? WHY? if you know how much your sister has suffered in the past for similar reasons, why would you confess to her boyfriend?!?! she should have taken those "feelings" with her to the grave.
Ginga and Moriya were OK for supporting roles. I would have liked Ginga better if he never confessed to Mahiru. Yes, it was obvious he was developing feelings for Marihu, but it made no sense he would fall for her if he already felt so guilty about the fishes incident and what it "did" to Aoi's social life in middle school.

Enjoyment 6/10
It is very short, so not torturous to read. If you need something to read while commuting somewhere or have spare time, I still wouldn't recommend it, but it wouldn't be the worst you could read.
