I never understood why this one was so popular, but it has its nice moments I guess...

A LOT of people praise this but holy fucking shit is it generic, couldn't get through the first few volumes

 

[LittleSisterLover]

It's perfectly fine in the beginning, nothing special but fun to read. Then it turns to garbage.

maybe you all didn't like it because the translation is so damn bad, the image quality is also pretty bad in places.
I really liked the anime, gave it an 8 out of 10 and that ended at around volume 8, which means there are 10 more volumes worth for me to read, hopefully i will enjoy them just as much, but i'm reading the rest offline since i have to official Viz translation 2 in 1 edition.

One of my all time favorites. Yah it has its cliches but the feelings that Usui shows really make it sweet. Lots of character development and its not only focused on the main couple. I ended up caring for a lot of the characters.

i'd consider this to be one of those quintessential, must-read shoujo - some of it is going to feel outdated (though most shoujo has problematic moments from a western perspective especially) - but it's a funny story and a charming read. the lead is stubborn and strong-willed and her love interest is always forthcoming about his interest in her.. the art get way better as you read on too!

I enjoyed it

Its a fun and light hearted manga. There might be a little tragedy but its not super heavy which I like. I really like the side characters too and I find myself smiling or even turning red myself in some intense bits. I do think it starts to lose its sense here and there as far as interactions with each other which shoujos so often do but maybe thats because im from the west.

I really like it though and I love that the characters are able to stick to their personalities while also developing and there are sweet moments as far as just interactions (not necessarily romantic) that catches me smiling or feeling content. I recommend it!

Looks like a few extras from vol 18 are missing

 

[NIKI_7]

Such a good manga! It got me hooked. Best manga I've read so far. Really really good. Totally recommend it!!!

 

[Hobo_of_Mexico]

Is it generic? Yes. Unfortunately I'm a weeblet with no standards, so I decently enjoyed it.

 

[hamcat]

it is very good 👌👌👌

 

[gladiatorua]

It's extremely generic and shallow. Doesn't really have other aspects to even it out. The last volumes are torture. Wildly overrated.

 

[CelerYi]

Way overstayed its welcome

I'm curious what the original writing is, because "Don't forget, you're a girl too" being told again and again to the lead, as a fits-all "you need to be protected/let the guy save you" is just boring, and passé even at the date it was first published. "You don't have to do everything yourself" or "You can rely on me" or "Accepting help doesn't make you any less of a strong female role model" , those sorts of encouragements are more productive then "hey no matter how strong you are, you will at some point be unable to push any further because you're a girl " is just annoying.

I read the first few volumes as a teen and was revisiting it now a decade later and don't feel I missed much.

Maybe in original Japanese text it's less grating but as is it's just got sexist overtones despite trying so hard to show a 'strong confident independent lead'.
