The only good thing about this manga are the drawings.
Get ready for the festival of ridiculous dialogues!

Honestly, I don't recommend this manga even to those who are still beginners with shoujos because, at least in my opinion, in addition to having anonymous characters and an inconsistent story that is nothing special, this manga doesn't even know how to entertain.
I don't even think that Akuma & Love Song is one of those mangas that I would recommend to someone just to collect the drawings because even those are nothing noteworthy.
The only way to maybe enjoy reading this absurd shoujo manga in some way is to read it in scanlations, just to be able to read at the end of each chapter the hilarious opinions of those who have read it before you.
Especially after the first thirty chapters, reading this manga you will find a continuous succession of senselessly silly overdramatic events worthy of the worst soap operas.

I recommend this manga ONLY to those who are VERY YOUNG (this fact mostly due to the immaturity of the dialogues and actions of the main and non-main characters) and who have LITTLE EXPERIENCE reading shoujo manga.
It's not the best shoujo manga you'll find around, but if you're new to it and if you are looking for a nice romantic light read, this shoujo manga will probably be right for you.

However, if I can be honest, I recommend you read Ao Haru Ride instead of Namida Usagi (or read both) since Ao Haru Ride, if it were focused on photography, would objectively be the improved version of this shoujo manga.

This is LONG, but trust me, it is written so "well" that the more you read it the more you will find it INFINITE.
And SPOILER: when you will reading the last chapter you will surely regret every single second you dedicated to reading it.
Every character (main character or not) is boring and flat.
But come on! At least the drawings are beautiful and many chapters are very short, so if you take a lot of breaks you can do it!

⚠️ A little advice : I suggest you to read it in scanlations. Trust me, you need read the comments at the end of each chapter to fully enjoy this reading experience. You will discover great pearls and you will laugh out loud.

The characters in Mikansei Lovers are not very developed (for example the professor is practically a cameo) but despite this I found them cute.
I don't really agree with the relationship between the two protagonists, given that the male protagonist is still a middle school student while the female protagonist is studying to enter university, however I have to admit that as adults I'm not disgusted that they stayed together.
I recommend this manga to anyone who is still new to shoujo manga because it's a nice and short read, but nothing special.
I don't think it's worth rereading it a second time, even if you're feeling nostalgic.

If you are very young you might really like this genre of manga. Otherwise it could bore you and make you roll your eyes a lot due to the immature way of reasoning and acting of the main characters.
