The teen drama here was IMMACULATE, and Mary Jane’s spontaneous personality changes were relatable. Highschoolers are just trying to find themselves in the midst of so much schoolwork and dating and whatnot. The girl went from popular to goth to flirty in a matter of days. The rebrand is strong with this one! 

The dialogue was very dated and corny at times (hey, missy! Like, totes, girl), but this is from the early 2000s. It definitely shows in the clothing too. Dresses over jeans, anyone? The animesque artwork was cute.
