Really enjoyed that :)  I didnt find it  'old plot' or cliche at all really like some say.  Exactly HOW many similar stories are here on the reader?  A delinquent type saving another girl etc..  maybe one or 2 other examples that are vaguely similar?  And of course the story is in the details.
Also found the characters very interesting and NOT typical - I dont get how you didnt like her biting her finger etc- Satsuki- if she was just a tough bitch delinquent, and a soft type girl needing rescue it would of been a far less interesting story.
It makes Shinjou seem like a real person not a walking cliche- yes she's tough- but fairly emotionally vulnerable and a nice person under that exterior.  Just like Takaoka is a lot tougher than she seems at first glance.
Soo, nope i didnt find it cliche at all- a big part of a story and what makes it interesting and unique is its characters- and these 2 were not cookie cutter or cliche at all.
