Being a sucker for tsunderes, I had my eye on this manga for future reading. When I got the chance, I felt that it wasn't as strong as other contenders for a good tsundere romance story. It relies on too many contrivances and there's not much substance to the actual story or characters. Where comedy was involved, it was surprisingly effective on me, despite not being a fan of the zany "anything goes because it's fiction" comedy that this manga just so happens to make use of. Regardless, I wasn't invested in the relationship between the two lead characters and they just sort of develop feelings for each other because... the plot demands it? on this one.
Enjoyment of this basically boils down to if you like the violent tsundere archetype or not.
