by tetsukazu, Amber Tamositis (Translaor), Rachel J. Pierce (Letterer)

Akira is the girl of Yuuto’s dreams—so maybe he’s got a shot, now that his big brother dumped her…  But big bro ended the relationship for a reason. Akira is an obsessive, clingy stalker, a total trash fire of a girl who would happily manipulate Yuuto’s feelings for a chance to get near the man she loves again. Of course, Yuu knows that, but he still can’t resist!

[Your opinion isn't good but I · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5

No seriously, what DO you call this trash?

I know the rating looks bad, but I didn't actually hate it at all. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, which is rather impressive for a 350 page manga. They all suck for the most part, and you don't wanna root for anyone, but they all also deserve better.

The bar was on the floor though. Which is probably
why I wasn't miserable while reading it. There being 0 fanservice was a pleasant surprise.

The title doesn't lie though, it IS trash. Read at your own risk.

This started off beyond wild and had my eye twitching at the ridiculousness of some of the characters. They truly felt like unattended teenagers doing the wackiest things. The ending felt like a complete 180 from how the story started at that's why I'd rate it 3.5. They threw a crazy and cliched plot to us but then flipped it and made it realistic towards the end.

I would love to hear others thoughts about this title.

Thanks so much to the publisher for a DRC~

It’s been sitting on my shelf for a year still wrapped. I thought it might have a lot more fan service scenes but it did not. Overall it was okay, the ending could’ve been better felt rushed, felt like “oh loophole ig” but I liked it. I didn’t like the start but I kept going, not gonna lie none of these characters are good. Like they all should’ve not done any of these things, kind of crazy in retrospect.
The older brother being hella over protective at the same time telling us how he used to be jealous and hate his younger brother. Both the mc and the main girl like the older brother for being their hero, but the scenes are so mediocre that I don’t really feel the impact he’s done.
I thought maybe she would learn to love Yuuto but that didn’t happen, she straight up dissociated and switched off because all she really wanted to do was kill herself cuz nobody cared/loved her for her. And I feel her on that but extremes honestly.
Overall 3/5 good pacing, okay story.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this book. The premise grabs you right away and I read the whole thing right there at the bookstore.

If you read the synopsis you'll know right away if this book is for you, but I will say the story went a different way than I was expecting, and in a very good way. Highly recommend

A good, short, one and done series.
There is no fanservice. It is a relationship about a stalker with some backstory into the childhood abuse that made her that way. Surprisingly well handled if not psychologically realistic.

This started off so odd, but I liked where the story went towards the end of the book.

I like the art, its very pretty and exprwsaive... But the story is... not to my liking. If I wish to be rude I would say that, sadly, the title fits the story.

the ending was probably as happy as it could be, but I kinda did want those toxic kids together
