Let's check off a few clichés: seemingly ordinary girl protagonist, with a quirk that gets her in trouble, is chased by a filthy rich guy who wants to bon- I mean marry her. Of course there's a love triangle at some point. In spite of this, it's entertaining and funny, and everyone is fully aware of how ridiculous most of the situations are: Riko is a damn superhero able to jump from tall buildings and moving cars without a scratch, and Ran is a ruthless filthy rich dude who has nothing better to do than chase her. But the story is surprisingly heartwarming when the two share the occasional serious moment. After all the craziness, them getting together for real actually seems believable, once they actually sit down and bond. The art is clean and pretty to look at, so no complaints there. It's actually a decent story overall, if you enjoy the "guy sweeps the girl off her feet, whether she wants to or not" genre.
