It's a Did Not Finish for me. It simply couldn't hold my attention, and the stalkery behaviour of the main character was really upsetting and distracting from whatever the story was supposed to be. I felt like the author had read way too many manga and wanted to write like that – didn't work for me.
It is definitely worth mentioning how authentic the Japanese setting felt to me – the school and behaviour of the students really oozed off the page, giving a strong sense of place and culture, which was really well done. Unfortunately, the rest of the book (or at least as far as I got – about halfway) simply didn't live up to this.
I feel particularly guilty about not finishing this, as my copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley.
