Review of S.A.: Special A

Summary: Her whole life, Hikari Hanazono has been consumed with the desire to win against her school rival, Kei Takishima--at anything. He always comes out on top no matter what he does, and Hikari is determined to do whatever it takes to beat this guy...somehow! At age 6 Hikari lost to Kei in an impromptu wrestling match. Now, at 15, Hikari joins "Special A," a group of the top seven students at a private academy, for the opportunity to trounce the guy who made her suffer her first defeat.
Review: The first thing that I have to say is that there was some very nice art and a mature storyline in this manga. Although the concept and characters weren't much different from any shoujo on the street, there was something about this story that made me want to keep reading. The jokes were pulled off without a hitch and the storyline ended rather abruptly, although in an unexpected way. There's not much to say about S.A., really, but I'm going to give it an 8 just for old times' sake.
