Mona is a fantastic protagonist because she is flawed. She is vain and prideful, but not malicious. Her obsession with making Kuroiwa notice her slowly evolves into genuine affection. Unlike typical heroines who are passive, Mona is aggressively proactive. Her internal monologues are hilarious—she goes from confident "my powers are absolute" to desperate "why isn't this working?!" within three panels.
