Thoughts: I'm very excited about this adaptation! This series is currently one of my favourite shoujo mangas.
However, Mei is a lot more emo than I remember her to be
Mei is very likable once she gets over that, I can promise you! lol
It's reminiscent of Kimi ni Todoke, you have the popular guy falling for the least popular girl. But Kanae Hazuki puts her own spin on that overly used storyline and the result is very endearing.
