From back cover: Vol 7: Payback can be a total pain! Kiley and Momo set their sights on Sae, finding her a "dream date" that should quickly turn into a nightmare. Sounds like the perfect plan, right? Wrong! When Sae's put in real danger, it's up to Momo to save the day - if she can find it in her heart to rescue her worst enemy! Get ready for a wild ride of blackmail, catfights and lies! Vol 8: With a little help from Sae, Toji decides the best thing he can do for Momo is to leave her alone. Momo doesn't know what to think but Kiley is there to comfort her. As the new school year begins, everything's changed, and not necessarily for the better. Unable to resist, Sae set to pull another dirty trick on Momo when Kiley swoops in to save the day. Momo can't help but wonder if Kiley, and not Toji, is really her knight in shining armor.
Some points: - I hate Sae with passion. I don't remember there is a fictional character I hate more to date. That means the author did a good job on her character. But boy, how low can you sink to sabotage your enemy. I do feel that Sae is sickpsychotic. She's obsessed with Momo. She can't stand Momo to be happy. End of Volume 4, Goro is head over heel with Sae, but she wasn't satisfied with that! - The poor Toji thinks that he can protect Momo by giving to blackmailing? Too naive. He doesn't have the maturity to stand by her side and help her to weather the storm! Hasn't Toji heard of "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" ? - I start to like Kiley better. I'm sure he would have done differently and not given in to blackmailing. - I hated the end of volume 5 and volume 6. I couldn't stomach what was going, had to take breaks. I'm glad how Toji, Kiley and the nurse handled the aftermath wonderfully. - I'm glad that Momo finally stood up to Sae and avoid her like plague. Not that Sae let her! - Poor Goro being used. - I don't want Momo to be yoyo between Toji and Kiley but with 10 more volumes to go, that's the way it's going to be! - Some of the fans' letters about their experiences with copycat bother me so I skipped them.
Bottom line, trashy series with great arts and a super villain character.

From backcover (partially): Vol 3: Momo realizes that Kiley is still in love with Misao, and that it's a very real possibility that they might have to end their relationship - for good. While Momo swims out her frustrations in the pool, Kiley arrives to talk things but admits he's torn. Although he cares deeply for Momo, the memories he has of his time with Misao are also ... (the rest is hidden by the IIL label.)
Some points: - Momo is moving on. - Sae is taking a back seat at the moments. There are times when she tries to provoke Momo, but that doesn't work to her satisfactory since Momo has decided to give up on Toji. Hence Toji doesn't show up much in these 4 volumes. - Male version of Sae appears: Kiley's older brother! Yikes. It seems that he's in love with Misao or something. I hate his guts. Needless to say, he's as twisted and creepy as Sae. They are hanging out together at the end of Volume 4. - I don't understand why Momo cares if Sae posed nude or not. I'd leave her alone for my safety and sanity.
Bottom line, and the saga continues, 6 more volumes to go.

Some points: - The saga continues.- Sae turns around after being rescued by Momo. Now she's in love with Ryo. - As I had suspected, Ryo has been in love with Aki all along. Why hadn't he told her? Insecurity - fear of rejection. However, now that Aki saw his true cruel self. She can't be with him. - Sae dropped the P bomb. - Momo is yoyoing between Toji and Kiley. I really hate yoyo. Bottom line, 2 more volumes to go.

Some points: - Borrowed from ILL. - Volume 9 picks up right after the bomb was dropped - Finally the saga ends.- Momo started to annoy me. I like Momo better in the first 8 volumes. The last 10, not so much because of her being a yoyo. I don't like yoyo heroine! I do understand her confusion. Sae, of course, tried to help Kiley, why? I guess she's closer to him. - Misao impressed me with being an adult. - Dare I say that Sae changed Ryo and made him think! - I guess Toji just gave up.
Bottom line, beautiful art, strong heroine at first, really bad villain(s).
