Just looking at the cover alone, this manga looks like another highschool harem manga.

Just another shojo harem with a pretty boy and two obnixous girls I bet.

Yay, somebody realizes why I'm a Shioko Mizuki Follower! I actually found her art to be a little different from other shojo styles. Her eyeballs aren't like galaxies, which might be a selling point...

I love the comedy in it.

That other one on the cover is a guy..

I might give it a read if funny. The guy sounds like a ass though. So I gotta see more people's opinions on this.

Does he drag her around giving demands, making a fool out of her, and groping her and then she somehow falls for him and blushes and shit?
Cause then I'll skip it. Seen it tons of time. Isnt cute.

So far this doesn't seem to be the case. The heroine is pretty much holding her own.

Pplz! please dont get discouraged by whatever people say... That's how people missjudge great stuff - by hearing from someone else about it... Just go to closest Borders or BN and read first chapter or 2... That's your review and a way to find new manga.
That's the bottom line... now in more detail

Whatever first post sayd about CY being harem, whatever reviewer sayd about it's mediocrity and typical art, third volume just passed my hands and I STILL DON'T SEE ANY OF IT.

It is sharp and very funny for that reason. Storyline is creative, unpredictable and largely deversified from comedy to drama to suspence. Reading first volume raised my mood so much, I was dead serious about writing a letter to Shioko (Instead i ended up writing a synopsis on ANN encyclopedia entry >_>). Maybe characters are typical (if you think so by it's art), but they are brimming with energy.

Feels Like Shioko gave it best shot with art. Well i should say it's "smart" way of drawing - combining chibi style with luscious "spot" art, gives it a variety and distinction. You can see from her web-site that she likes drawing characters from CY Anime smile
Anyway just give it a try, even if just reading in store - 'm sure you'll buy it
