Red String/YMMV

• Archive Panic - This comic has been running since 2003 and now has quite a history for a new reader to follow.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome - Kikuko of all people, in Chapter 32, delivering the smack down to Kazuo that the fans were craving for months. And she did it again in Chapter 38.
  • Miharu calling out Kenta for his crappy treatment of Kazuo. Goddamn did it feel good to see that asshole get told off.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - Quite a few. In Sidestory 2, for example, after Reika gets accused of sleeping with a boy she was dating and watches her parents break up, Miharu changes schools with her before going with Reika to get their hair dyed and completely altered to give her confidence in her new environment. D'aww...
• Ensemble Darkhorse - Despite Kikuko's initially rough introduction as a spoiled rich brat, she quickly gained fans after she was the only one to call out Kazuo plainly in Chapter 32. Since then pretty much anything she does is heralded with cheers, even though she still acts like a spoiled rich brat the rest of the time.
  • Genki looks like he's becoming one as of late after helping to pull Kazuo out of his self loathing.
  • Fuuko's new love and friends in Tokyo were supposed to be very limited characters, mostly rounding out Fuuko's side story. The author and the fans liked them so much, they've become a fully developed plot line.
• Memetic Mutation - A panel of an angry Genki saying "Bullcrap" is starting to morph into this. This also extends to drawing Big Ol' Eyebrows on other characters while inserting the same caption into the panel.
  • A number of posters want Kenta devoured by a bear.
• The Woobie - Reika attracts an insane amount of romantic tragedy in her story lines, though this seems to have finally abated once she and Eiji finally hooked up. Of course, now that she's decided to visit her father, she's found out that he's already remarried, and has a child old enough to be from around the time of the divorce (with another one on the way) and she was an unplanned pregnancy. Ouch.
  • Makoto cannot ever catch a break. He exists entirely to have women hurt him and to have fangirls cry for him. He finally caught a break in Chapter 41...then Kazuo's attempted suicide on the same night Makoto and Miharu were going to have their first date. This is the unluckiest dude in the universe.
