Review: I picked this one out because the title was sufficiently retarded, and those Engrish titles usually turnout to be pretty fun. But seriously? This woman just keeps jumping around from melodramatic plot point to melodramatic plot point. And she drops old story points completely out of the picture like they never mattered in the first place! I guess if I could say there's something she's good at, it'd be the fact that I can't tell what's a plot point anymore. And she can't seem to decide where this romance is going. And she introduces new information like we should already know it! ("Hosamu-san, I miss you"? Who the hell and why...!?) Not to mention her pacing sucks. Basically the main character begins taking care of the love interest's cats... And then you find out he's now been doing it for an extended period of time. All in like, two pages.

Their relationship progresses pretty fast... (I hate you! No, you're okay! HAHA, we're buds sorta! I'm mad at you again! Now we're living together! Wat.)

And...they have no chemistry. There's no reason that they should like each other. They don't seem to like each other at all for a long time. Why pursue it?!

And the MELODRAMA. All of a sudden, out of the blue, "UM, YEAH, MY DAD COMMITTED SUICIDE AND STUFF, AND UNREQUITED LOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YEAH STUFF." And then proceeds to mention it every five seconds. The loved dude collapses and they get all dramatic about that, and then lover dude says, "OH YEAH, BY THE WAY, I WAS ABANDONED BY MY MOM AND AS A RESULT HAVE DEVELOPED A HORRIBLE TRAUMA TOWARDS THE DARK LOL." Where did this all come from? Why was there no sign of this before!?!?

I'm waiting for somebody to mention that they have cancer. And does one of the characters have an evil twin lurking around somewhere? Illegitimate son and/or daughter? COME ON, GRAVITY EYES, YOU CAN DO IT!

And I could go on and on, but just trust me when I say that this is a prime example of bad story telling. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The cats in it are pretty cute though. (Although they just kinda disappear whenever they're not needed.)
