I also thought the same while reading manga. But even without originality, it was entertaining, so I picked the novel and I have to say its absolutely amazing.
As the story progresses it breaks from the norm, amazing character development from all the individuals.
I have not read...
This was great. It was done perfectly.
I just hope there is no more drama on the romance front. It would be cliche and irritating, the story can develop in many ways from here and romantic tension is not required for that.
