Rei is the type of guy that Kira couldn't stand; flirty, reckless, and a biker. When a chance encounter leads to Rei saving Kira from a teacher with bad intentions, neither of them know the extent to which the other will impact them.
On the outside, MARS is a typical coming-of-age story centered on the relationship between good girl and a bad boy. But underneath the romance lie stories of suicide, rape and murder; the idea that everyone has a secret to hide, even those who seem most innocent. When the dark pasts of Rei and Kira come to light, they struggle to keep their relationship together.
This is definitely one of my favorite manga series out there, I highly recommend it for the shoujo fan! :)

Wow! I can’t believe they’re getting married and that Rei dropped out of school! I’m interested to see how Kira’s stepdad plays a part in the next volume.

I feel like I'm being harsh with my rating but I'm not enjoying the character development here and the only thing that keeps me reading is that I actually liked the first 3 volumes and wish to see where the protagonists end up.
