Summary: Haru Jigokumeguri comes from a super wealthy and famous family. Her classmates think she’s arrogant and stuck up, and she is a little, but the truth is she plays it up to hide her awkwardness and fear of rejection. In reality, she desperately wants to make friends, but doesn’t know how to. Fortunately the class weirdo, Tsurezure Kawayanagi, doesn’t mind her bad attitude at all, and before they know it they are friends! Only… she might like him more than just friends. Is there a future for this mismatched couple?

Review: In the beginning the jokes were kind of repetitive and dragged a bit. A lot of the early jokes are about the girl being arrogant and insufferable, and the guy doesn't really care a lot about anything. But it improved and as more is revealed, it we learn more about our main two characters and what they are thinking and how they got to be this way.

By volume 3 the series actually had turned into something really interesting and very entertaining, and the romance between the two characters blooms, and the cast is rounded out so the jokes are much more varied. By volume 4, I started to wish it was longer. Funny enough, adding a larger cast of characters actually brings out more interesting qualities in the main characters and adds more depth to the series.

All in all, I would recommend this series if you have some patience. And the ending was hands down great.

Recommended: If you want to read a sweet 4-Koma series about an unusual couple, this gets way better and is worth the read. Also, if you pace yourself at the beginning, you'll probably enjoy the beginning more than binge reading it.

Age Rating: PG: It's a very pure and innocent love story. Some very mild violence.
