Name: Othello
Author & Artist: Ikezawa Satomi
Status: Completed
Chapters: 28
Genres: Comedy, Psychological, Romance, School Life, Shoujo

Plot: Yaya’s high school friends haven’t been very nice.
They call her “Yaya the cry-ya! Yaya the misfi-ya!”
But no matter how badly they act, Yaya is just too naïve and trusting to believe the worst of her friends.

Hard-rocking, butt-kicking Nana is just the girl tograb hold of Yaya’s timid demeanor and turn it upside down. Nana exposes Yaya’s “friends” as slime bags, doles out punishment, and does it all with style.
Can there be anything that terminally shy Yaya and hyper-confident Nana have in common? Well, for one thing, they’re the same person. - Manga Updates

Review: 
Yaya is basically your average shoujo heroine who is pretty much a crybaby (with a split personality). Although she does have an excuse for being one due to her childhood. If you can get passed her crybaby antics she does grow as a character.

Nana on the other hand is outrageously confident and a bit cruel but definitely funny. Although one of her biggest flaws is that she can get slightly annoying and her character lacks realism (much like Yaya) but it's just a manga.

Moriyama is the male lead who tries to help Yaya and figure out why her personality changes.
He gives Yaya more emotional support rather then going up and standing up for her when the situation calls for it...

The story seems to drag out a fair bit but it's definitely worth the read.
