Good evening readers!
Yes, finally, in a long time, I've decided to do Manga reviews to help out DaBrenz!

Mangaka: Crystal na Yosuke
Dafuq is Onidere?
Well, the title is derived from the combination of "Oni" (Demon) and "dere" (Lovestruck).
However, with an extraordinary girlfriend, Saya Angelica Ikushima! The head of the all-girl gang "Onigashirashu" in Tadashi's high school, she is the most feared 'delinquent' in all of Japan. Possesing superhuman strength with the ability to destroy anything she wishes to, you would be puzzled or confused as to why she is Tadashi's girlfriend.

Unfortunately for Saya, she has to hide her feelings as it would mean disaster for her reputation as a feared delinquent. So they hide their feelings for one another and slowly, but surely, become closer together as individuals!

Saki Nijinose: The treasurer of the student council, she takes pride in her job, but is the complete opposite of Saya-san, of whom she is fragile and delicate. Often needing Tadashi's help, his kindess rubs off on her and she also falls for him. But of course, our main character is too dense to notice that.
President Tomeo Kinoshita: Probably the WEIRDEST character in the entire manga series, the white-haired President Tomeo's main objective is to rid the school of delinquents and serving up "justice", through a hell lot of methods under the influence of the "god of justice", as he puts it. You will see him mostly hated by most of the characters, though his intentions are good but wacky and irritating.

For theme, if they were aiming for highschool romance of a tsundere and geek, I would say they did quite well, doesn't stray off that far.

However, near the end of the series, you will eventually get quite lost as to WHAT DIRECTION the manga is turning to be. Main plot WAS rushed near the end.
Futthermore, the art was quite messy at times. I'm not sure whether it was the translator's fault or whether it was intended by the mangaka.
Onidere begun release in 2008, and recently ended with 138 chapters, all of which is available on MangaFox & MangaReader.
That's all for now! Over and out!
