I think the sole reason I read the second novel is simply because I loathe giving up on a book that I've checked out from the library.

That being said, it was indeed an improvement over the first novel. (I just can't seem to get past the attempted rape incident in the first book!) This particular book involves getting to know the F4 in greater detail, along with Rui's love interest and a new character named Kazuya, who happens to be an old friend of Tsukushi. However, now there is a group of elite girls who are tormenting Tsukushi. I suppose the intention is for the reader to develop a greater liking for the guys now that our hatred can be directed towards the mean girls. (But that doesn't work for me because it's the F4's fault that she is being bullied in the first place!)

I just can't overcome the casual cruelty and self-centered nature of the F4. Domyoji, in particular, truly deserves to remain in the villain category and not be considered a potential love interest! I would much rather read Special A any day than this kind of series.

Honestly, I'm even tempted to write that I would recommend this book only to "delusional fan-girls who fantasize about having a sick, co-dependent relationship with an abusive hottie."

It seems that this series has its flaws and fails to meet my expectations in many aspects. The characters' behaviors and the overall storyline leave much to be desired. While some may enjoy this kind of drama, it's just not for me.

It is good.

This simple statement holds a world of meaning. When we say something is good, it implies a sense of approval, satisfaction, and desirability.

Good can refer to a wide range of things - a good book that captivates our imagination, a good meal that tantalizes our taste buds, a good friend who is always there for us, or a good deed that makes a positive impact on someone's life.

The concept of good is subjective, as what one person may consider good, another may not. However, there are certain universal qualities that are often associated with goodness, such as kindness, honesty, integrity, and fairness.

In a world that can sometimes seem chaotic and full of challenges, finding and experiencing the good can bring us joy, hope, and a sense of purpose.

It is important to recognize and appreciate the good things in our lives, no matter how small they may seem.

By doing so, we can cultivate a more positive outlook and a greater sense of gratitude.

So, let us strive to seek out the good, to create more good in the world, and to share the good with those around us.

For in doing so, we not only make our own lives better, but we also contribute to the betterment of the world as a whole.

Wow, her parents really suck.

And everyone else is so incredibly rude.

The only characters that seem somewhat likable are Rui and the new guy who was just introduced.

Rui, however, is kind of bland and lacks depth.

The new guy, on the other hand, is such a caricature that it's almost comical.

Shizuka is nice too, but in shoujo manga, you can never really trust the girls.

They always seem to have something up their sleeve, so I'm really skeptical right now.

I hope she doesn't turn out to be a disappointment.

Surprisingly, I kind of like Domyoji, even though I know it's toxic.

This whole situation is so stupid because he is such a shitty dude.

If they end up having a romance, it would just be a disaster.

I really hope the story takes a better turn and doesn't go down that predictable path.

2 stars. Ehhh, this might've been a mistake. Reading the manga doesn't have the same emotional impact as I expected. There is a really terrible scene where pretty much the entire student body is bullying these two kids. It's a horrifying sight, and yet it gets looked over and treated like nothing. No one seems to have any reaction to it, which is really unsettling. This whole volume just rubbed me the wrong way. And damn Tsukushi's parents! What a couple of dimwits they are. I'm going to read on because I know how it wraps up in the end, but it's definitely making me feel a little bit different towards this series. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Maybe it's a sign that the story is evolving in a way that I wasn't quite prepared for. Or maybe it's just that my initial expectations were too high. Either way, I'm still curious to see how it all plays out.

Please provide the article that needs to be rewritten and expanded so that I can help you.

Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! I LOVE Tsukushi!! She is truly so bad ass!!

I'm extremely happy that she showed those bitchy girls a thing or two at that party! For a moment, I was really worried she wouldn't be able to stand up to them. But she proved me wrong! She is just so great!!

I love how strong she is and how she isn't afraid to throw a punch when necessary. It's so refreshing to see a female character with such courage and determination.

I really like Kazuya too and he just showed up! :o He seems to be a lot of fun and I'm curious to see how his character develops in the story.

I'm really excited about reading this series, but I just found out it's 37 volumes long x_x I'm a bit worried that it might be like reading Ranma 1/2, where it starts off really great in the beginning but then gets old, boring, and repetitive near the middle to end. However, I hope this isn't the case with this manga because it has a ton of potential and I can't wait to see where the story takes me.

Well, I must say that I am not a fan of this series at all.

To be honest, I had some expectations for the second installment, but unfortunately, it turned out to be even worse.

The story seemed to lack coherence and the characters didn't really develop in a meaningful way.

The plot felt rushed and some of the twists and turns were rather predictable.

Moreover, the special effects were not up to par with what I was hoping for.

Overall, I was really disappointed with the second one and I don't think I'll be bothering with the rest of the series.

I would not recommend this series to anyone who is looking for a well-written and engaging story.

It's a real shame because the concept had potential, but it just didn't deliver.

Maybe the creators will learn from their mistakes and improve in future installments, but for now, I'm giving this series a pass.

RUI BAEE

It's rather strange because Rui is crafted in a way that makes him so much more likable as a male character compared to Tsukasa. However, I suppose that's precisely what causes all of Tsukasa's good qualities to stand out as well. Rui seems to have this inherent charm and appeal that draws people to him easily. Maybe it's his personality, his actions, or the way he is presented in the story. On the other hand, Tsukasa, despite not being as immediately likable as Rui, has his own set of redeeming features. These good traits of his become more prominent precisely because of the contrast with Rui. It's an interesting dynamic that adds depth and complexity to the characters and the overall narrative.

Really liked it ❣️❣️

My favorite aspect of this series is undoubtedly the early nineties outfits and hairdos. They bring a sense of nostalgia and add a unique charm to the story.

Another thing I like is that Kazuya appears, which means Tsukushi finally has a normal person to communicate with. This provides her with some much-needed support and a different perspective.

However, aside from these positive elements, I can't help but wonder why these high school kids are so incredibly mean to each other. Their actions and words seem overly cruel and unnecessary. It makes me question the nature of adolescence and the pressures that these students face.

Perhaps it is a reflection of the competitive and sometimes cutthroat environment of high school. Or maybe it is a way for the characters to assert their power and地位. Whatever the reason, it makes for some intense and uncomfortable viewing at times.

Overall, while I enjoy many aspects of this series, the mean-spiritedness of the high school kids is something that I find both fascinating and disturbing.

I am currently reading Boys over Flowers volume 2.

The images in this manga are incredibly realistic, and the artwork is so well-rounded with soft lines.

The costumes, although sometimes complex, are fancy and add to the overall charm.

When I was a child, I adored the script and always watched the drama as it was so exciting.

I had never seen the manga version before, but upon trying to read it, I realized that the character design is very interesting.

The F4 members have a big impact and are extremely memorable for me.

Especially, Domyoji's curling hair is detailed and cool.

This manga is also very emotional, with a lot of internal situations.

I think it's important to show how the characters feel, which is why there are so many zoom-in scenes.

Also, the panels are very variable. Sometimes Rui is drawn large like a splash page, which has the effect of showing that he is like a superstar.

This manga always manages to excite me, and I can't wait to read all the volumes!

Was bullying that intense before?

Bullying has always been a concerning issue, but the question remains: was it as intense in the past as it is today? In the past, there were fewer means of communication and less awareness of the problem. However, that does not necessarily mean that bullying was less intense.

Before the digital age, bullying mainly occurred in person, such as in schools or neighborhoods. Victims had limited options for seeking help and support. They often had to endure the abuse alone, which could have had a significant impact on their mental and emotional well-being.

Today, with the advent of social media and the internet, bullying has taken on a new dimension. Cyberbullying allows bullies to reach their victims anytime, anywhere, and the effects can be even more devastating. The anonymity provided by the internet also makes it easier for bullies to act without fear of consequences.

In conclusion, while the nature of bullying may have changed over time, its intensity cannot be ignored. We need to continue to raise awareness about this issue and take steps to prevent and address bullying in all its forms.

The second volume was just as toxic as the first. It truly came as a surprise to me. I had certain expectations when I started reading, but this story deviated far from what I had imagined it to be.
