Review:

Last Game started in the year 2011 and continues to grow upto now. It's great because:

Story: The story is quite unique. Instead of the girl who is suppose to chase the boy until she made him like her, it's the total opposite. In other words, Yanagi has an unrequited love towards Kujou, our main female character. Yanagi is known to be the best in their school because he is always at the top, not until Kujou transfered to his school. She excels more than Yanagi. She's the type of a girl, hard to approach because of her gloomy atmosphere. Yanagi swore to beat her someday, not realizing that he falls for her during his revenge.

Characters: Yanagi. He was already described at the plot portion above. He is a lot like Tamaki Suoh. He's really popular with girls and he is also smart and rich. He followed Kujou in every school she attented to until college, where the story begins. He is usually seen together with Kujou. He is also the reason why Kujou's atmosphere is not dull and dark before. Kujou. She's silent like what I've told you. She's also poor and is really thrifty in terms of money. She is good at everything, even at cooking and memorizing. She made friends together with Yanagi, and she seems to have feelings for him to as the story goes, yet she didn't really get it. To sum it all up, she's slow. -_-

Art: I love this manga's art. I was even confused at first when Kujou was described as not pretty. Seriously? I really think she's pretty ^_^. Characters here was drawn amazingly, I just simply love it.

*spoiler* I like Souma better. Tee-hee >__<
