Hikari has been obsessed with scoring higher than her school rival, Kei, since she was little. As a child, Kei was mean to her, so Hikari has made it her personal mission to one day out-rank him at school.

Although the plot seemed promising, Hikari's obsession became really tiresome. The whole volume Hikari hoped to beat Kei at something and failed. Her whole self-worth is caught up in it. I feel like nothing else happened in the story. Not a lot of comedy. Secondary characters were just there and didn't add much. They were introduced and re-introduced, but completely forgettable.

I have read a spoiler that Kei is secretly in love with Hikari, which sounds like a promising twist. Yet, just based on the first volume, not sure I'm interested enough to continue the series. ( )
