 One of the best ShojoJan 19, 2008
By Kalena
Maniac shojo fan here who just wants to say this is one of the best of the best manga's so far that I have read. It fits up there with Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yugi, Kare Kano, Ouran High School, and Full Moon. Basic love story like Kare Kano where girl is always #2 and boy is always #1 so ultimately she wants to beat him no matter what. Of course he is head over heels in love with her and she seems to be totally clueless which makes for some hiliarious moments to be sure. I highly recommend this series!! (^.^)

Don't leave home w/o itNov 29, 2007
By Ms. V. LY
"manga maniac"
This manga is full of laughs. It's about these two people who always compete with each other and no matter what the girl always lands in 2nd place. The guy slowly falls in love with his rival. This is a romance/ comedy.

I've been ordering books from them for a couple of years now... and never disappointed once. Product was exactly as description said it was. Definitely worth buying from.
The anime is betterJan 25, 2009
By Stinkerz Bell
Don't get me wrong, I love Special A and everyone in it, but the manga is confusing to read, and hard to follow. I ended up watching the anime, and loved it a billion times better. If, like me, you find the manga version too confusing, please try the anime. It's very very very hilarious, I started rolling on the ground from laughing. But very moving, too. SA rocks <3
 Second Rate Part 1Mar 18, 2008

Hikari Hanazono excels at so much. She's pretty, intelligent, active, and belongs to the most elite group in the top school in the district. The problem is this, she has a rival... and the rival has happened to eke her out of every event, subject, and sport since they were 6 years old. Hikari wouldn't even be at the school she is at if it were not for the fact that the charming and beautiful Kei Takishima was there himself.
Hikari vows that she will do everything she can to beat Kei, but what she doesn't realize is that she has already won him over in the most important way... his heart.
I'm only lukewarm on this so far. It's fun, but the repetitive element that Minami has in introducing her characters is downright annoying. Really. How many times can the same gag be funny? Still, the series seems like it might be good and I am willing to give it another shot. The art is nice also.
