Meet Maria Kawai — she’s gorgeous and whip-smart, a girl who seems to have it all. But when she unleashes her sharp tongue, it’s no wonder some consider her to be the very devil!

My Review:
Maria Kawai is gorgeous, extremely smart and highly-intuitive transfer student from the Catholic high school St. Katria to Totsuka high school. She reveals that she was kicked out of St. Katria for beating up a teacher. She is able to read a person, figures out their qualities and then confronts them bluntly with the truth.
I really like how Maria takes care of herself in bad situations for example when people make fun of her or say bad things about her she doesn't take it personally she gets even with them by using her sharp tough and bluntly letting them know the truth.
Some interesting side characters like Yusuke who is very popular with the girls and seems to be nice (but Maria figures out he doesn't like people), Shin who seems to hate Maria (but has a heart of gold) and Nippachi who is the end of everyone's jokes (Maria figures out that no one really matters to her) and seems to be character shrouded in mystery.
5/5
Thanks Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this manga to review, greatly appreciated!

You don't think of Catholic high schools in Japan. I like a character with a sharp tongue.
