Chocolate review

Reviews for this manga were positive and it was a short read so you could say I was expecting a lot BUT of course, I am confident that even without expecting so much, this manga would have still disappointed me.

STORY
The story is decent. In its own merit, it does have the potential to become a great story but it didn't. Mainly because the characters are too immature and the events that's taking place is irrational. I'm not asking for an Oscar-worthy story, I'm at least asking validity. Oh and the amnesia plot? It was VERY stupid.

ART
The art is kind of my style, it's quite cute. It's probably the only thing I have to praise in this manga.

CHARACTERS
Maybe it's because they're kind of still kids or something but they were really static. Even the main character, given all the screen time to develop, was a dumb brat. Usually characters and story fall in the same line as they affect each other greatly so in my own opinion, the underdeveloped characters dragged the plot drastically.

ENJOYMENT
I admit, I was hooked for the first three chapters, but there's only so much suspense and plot twists you can take. The amount of stupidity the main character has didn't help either. I don't get why I had to empathize with a child who ruins her supposed friend's relationship just because her boyfriend looks like [I won't mention anything else because of spoilers] her first love. It was a sick move, how she keeps pushing her self and lives in the past. I know that love is a sickly mess but still, the way the main character copes with it, it kind of made me annoyed instead of rooting for her. I also don't get what's so swoon-worthy about the male lead, and why the heck would someone even fall in love with a jerk like him. I mean call me crazy, but I rather go for the guy that wants the best for me than the jerk that makes me cry every single time. But of course, the female lead always goes for the bad boy, right?

Overall, maybe it's just not my cup of tea but I just can't believe that there isn't a single negative review about this manga. I mean, save for the first three chapters and the beautiful art, this can all go down the toilet for all I care. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to someone who's finding a good read but to each their own.
