So let's review: the girl is supposedly brilliant and has been kidnapped and returned nine times, but still has no natural suspicion of strangers or self-preservation instinct? Please! And the best thing is for her to live on her own? Best for whom?!

Yeah, Sensei's a mystery, but I don't give a damn. Maybe he's a bastard, more likely he's a bodyguard, but I still don't give a damn.

No way do I want to read yet another unrealistic story of sweet innocent girl who refuses to learn from the hardships of life saving the hard-bitten man and bringing light and love and joy back into his life. NO.

Also, Touko: you're a bad friend.

Bad CLAMP, no biscuit.

As mentioned in my review of Volume 1, I think it would be easy to mistake the premise for this manga. However, now that I get it (I think) this story has shaped up to be a pretty interesting mystery. Who exactly is Sensei Asou? What after school hours work is he performing? Why is Hina so darned naive? Actually, I have a theory on the last one and am waiting to see if it will pan out. One revelation revealed in this one is where the name "Suki" comes in, although now I'm kind of confused exactly why the subject of the name is called that. All in all I think this is a rather intriguing manga and I'm looking forward to the next one. ( )
