This whole book felt more like the first part of a book instead of a book on its own.
The characters are all interesting but there are just too many and they’re introduced too quickly, so I lost track on them most of the time.
I also wasn’t expecting slurs. Why are there so many slurs in this book? Yikes.
Idk, I kind of liked it, but I’m not sure why.

If I remember correctly, the r-slur is used a few times as a synonym for "stupid."books_onthe_ground's review against another edition

The depiction of mental illness is a little iffy at times, and the way the author describes the effects of an anti-psychotic prescription drug doesn’t seem realistic to me (as I have never taken an anti-psychotic, I don’t know exactly what the effects are).
Its important to remember that this series is incredibly dramatic, and the content reflects that! It strays from realism a lot, and has elements that seem unrealistic, but if you view the series as a drama, it makes more sense!

PLEASE LOOK UP TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE YOU READ!! Its a great book and I encourage people to read it but ONLY if they are comfortable/able to read the content.ainereads's review against another edition

I did it. I read the unhinged fake lacrosse yakuza book. Someone on tumblr said this is a sports anime in book form and it clicked (particularly the psychotic love interest, who speaks and behaves like one of the twins from Ouran). I don't know if I like it exactly but it is for sure entertaining. Check those content warnings -- impossible for it to not be entertaining.
