Mediocre story line and annoying characters

Snootz

I honestly don't know how this anime currently has a 7.9 rating. In no way does it qualify. The anime is mediocre (nothing special at all), the characters are trite and cliche, the story line not original, unique or even with a decent twist. It's the old "lovers from different sides of the track" (theme established in the summary)... and not done all that well.

The male lead is so vapid and frankly stupid that one wonders how he ever became leader of his clan. There are some elements of comedy that are a saving grace, but it's a one-joke series: lovers in secret enemies in public. Gets old very quickly. The characters are one-dimensional, the plot elements ridiculous (of course it is anime, still...), the situations in which the characters regularly find themselves both repetitious and unbelievable.

If you enjoy good story, plot twists, and intelligent characters who work themselves out of difficult situations using wit and charm... you'll find none of that here. This is goofy on toast, and the toast is made of cheap bread. There are far better "crossed lover" stories out there.

score 4/10
