I can't do this anymore. I followed this before it had any chapters, thinking that if it ever got any it would be some kind of self-indulgent guilty pleasure; the kind of thing you know is poorly-written, but that you'll allow yourself to enjoy anyway if it catches you in the right mood.
It is not. It's just bad. I thought it would be a melodramatic exploration of two people who hurt each other and want to try again, (with some nice smut on the side, because hey) but it's just pure melodrama. No exploration of interesting emotions (or even any smut, as of chapter 3!) involved. The art isn't even that great either, so it essentially has no redeeming features. Not that the art is bad - but it's just okay, and okay isn't enough to save this half-sunk ship.

Does the author really expect us to like the extremely childish and revenge driven male lead? Or even worse the horribly weak and stupid female lead? Dramas like these are so forced and tacky, not to mention basic. You can figure the entire story line from the first to chapters. This is kinda trash. I don’t recommend

Haven't read anything but the description but I'm willing to bet that now we play a game of "Is it ntr? Is it tragedy? Spin the wheel and find out how much drama occurs!" Odds on it having a happy ending... 50/50* *(odds may change)
I hope it does have a happy ending though.

...Uh-oh, if what @goronyanpai is true then the odds of things going well just dropped significantly.
I wonder why more authors don't have a fetish for happy stories.

I remember reading this a long time ago and I'm glad it's getting translated, but... it's kinda bad. The first 3 chapters were really good honestly and I searched everywhere for the continuation and couldn't find any so I forgot about it. These past few chapters really disappointed me. The characters are so cliche and don't have much personality. I mean if anyone's into exes getting back together this is for them kinda? It's poorly written though, so don't expect much from it. It seems like a semi-short read though, so I guess I'll keep reading. *sigh* I might regret this but hopefully the story gets better

chapter one weird shit and questions
weren't they in middle school?! why the fuck would they fuck at that age??!?!?! A normal person would know not to fucking do that what gen are they?!?!?!?
You don't kiss your ex from middle school just cause both of you look hot now wtf. weren't you the one who broke up with her?! Wait who broke up with who??
Wtf I hate Kaeda dude like wasn't it you who kissed her first? Why would you try to get revenge that's so childish for this situation; like get up and move on you were young I get it but it's better to try and forget then dwell upon it, you're adults now. I advise you to either befriend or play stupid you might as well ignore it from soo long ago. I may not be the best judge since I never experienced it but still, why??
You wanted your revenge right? you wanted her to feel the same pain you did, she just god damn told you that she did feel the pain and it clear she ain't lying! God I hate the MCs
And not to mention the stupid Female lead like seriously how defenseless are you to only give a head bump which didn't even look like it hurt, yet it still looked like you put your might into it? And how naive do you have to be to get back with your ex who blatantly told you he wanted revenge from you and not to mention the sudden kiss, you didn't even think the pros and cons to getting back together with him.
Soooo fast pacing is bad but maybe it'll get better. From a standpoint the pacing is reasonable but like, wish it was a bit slower. that was only chapter 1 btw
I'm generally a patient person but I have a choice here and I choose no. this is the lowest score I ever gave to a manga...
I also don't wanna look judgemental sooo um Melodrama?

I Just finished reading the whole thing!! sorry for it not being translated to English yet, but the Portuguese transaction was very good!!! I really enjoyed this series!!! The beginning is a bit weird with the whole revenge thing and it is hard to understand if they really like each other or if they are just still children that don't know better how is it to actually love someone.
But as the series progress, I really loved the amount of drama that was introduced and I was very proud of how the Mcs dealt with it. It is the first time that I see a story where the Mcs actually make good decisions when it comes to outside threats to their relationship. It was awesome to see the story develop all the way to their late 20's, so you can see they grow together and start life as real adults together!
I am a bit sick of high school romance, so this story was definitely all I wanted. A more adult romance with good intimacy moments, and a male lead that actually knows what he wants!

In the beginning, I hated the male lead, but he really grows on me at the end. He becomes a true partner that supports her, he is super handsome and doesn't fall for any small tricks from other pretty girls. He is very aware that his actions, even small ones, can hurt the mc so he is a good guy! and I LOVEEEE when he gets super jealous and become a bit abusive hehehehehehe. She is annoying all the time but we come to like her at the end as well. I just love how horny they are hahahaha!

Everything I read so far was pretty ok but for me it’s like one of those where i can nearly shut my brain off while reading it

Just stupid FL, literally STUPID. Ml's a douchebag I hope he falls to hell, nope change that, hope they both fall to hell.

Why are all these shoujos making ONLY the girl a virgin, and the dude has moved on and dated and slept with lottsa girls, bitch this ain't it, not my cup of tea... So I'm not eating this shit. It would've been better if the FL also had several boyfriends and slept with them after junior HS.

Can anyone just recommend me some really good manga with the FL and ML having equal footing regarding their sex life? Like both are Virgins. Or Both have slept with someone else before meeting each other.

I'm out, I don't need myself a Virgin FL and a non-virgin ML. Adios people
