Lifeless. A committee of people in an Italian Disney subsidiary or licensee sat down and created a teen property. It has social media, emojis, chibis, hashtags, and diversity. They only forgot soul.
Three girls who barely know each other get detention together. They create a social profile for their amalgamation of a dream boy. A day later said boy shows up at school. Instead of being freaked out or putting in much beyond a token effort to find out where he came from, the girls start competing to see who gets to kiss him first. And this goes on for over 300 pages.

These don't seem to be the same creators, but I think there is some disconnect between what Italian comic book writers think is funny and what I find funny.
