To be fair, it did keep my attention for the entirety of this manga's run, but by the end of it, it was much different than how it started. For starters, this manga makes a total subversion of expectations regarding the yandere trope. Unfortunately, there's not much I can comment on without spoiling the plot and its accompanying surprises, since the manga is only 3 volumes long. The FL is
not at all what she seems and, If I remember correctly, is only perceived as being yandere, and isn't actually one.
Volume 1 was set up to be an excellent twist on traditional yandere stories, since it's revealed early on that the ML, whom I thought was very unique in that he actually desires the FL and wants her to do her worst to him because he is a thrill-seeking daredevil, which plays in to the story's conclusion. Basically the ML
! got a thrill from nearly dying after falling from a great height at a young age and seeks out dangerous/hair-raising situations to give him that rush again and uses the FL as a means to achieving that goal after hearing testimony from one of the FL's former friends about her dangerous and overly-attached behavior and creepy personality, but once he learns that she isn't at all what her reputation assumed, he seeks suicide after a series of complicated discussions with the FL's sister. The FL, in how she was presented/introduced by the author, does a total 180 narratively, and ends up saving the ML from suicide and the two continue happily.
One final thought:
I was under the impression, after a certain chapter-ending cliffhanger, that the ML would actually exceed the FL in being a bigger yandere than she is, but this idea, whether intentional or not, was dropped.
.
Overall, this manga had some interesting concepts that would have made it stand out above the rest of its genre, but many of them either did not come to fruition by failing expectations, were cut short too soon, or just dropped the ball in its execution. I'd still say that it's above average and will rate it as such, but I won't say the story is anything spectacular. In fact, it's disappointing in many regards, given what I've said already after collecting my thoughts about it a while ago after finishing my read.
