Mostly agreed with franky09. The first half was a fairly accurate depiction of an ugly loser finding confidence in themselves, but continues at what should've been the ending into a standard shoujo manga storyline. I honestly wasn't sure at first if the events were a dream sequence or not because it becomes comedically shoujo-esque in the second half. I didn't hate the second half because I enjoy shoujo manga, but the first half was genuinely good and made the second seem disappointing by comparison.
