Not bad, but there are things I find a bit questionable.
Since everybody has an Iris, I'm surprised the world isn't a more corrupt place. Everything feels too normal when people can have the ability to see lies, death omens, and true feelings. I expected the setting to be a bit more edgy but I guess I'm thinking too much into this.
Overall the series was interesting, other then their nose and egg head, I think the art is alright. It's a nice read.

 Starting to disappoint.

At first, I really, really liked this manga. The characters and the whole 'iris' idea are really good and well developed. However, as it progresses, the manga seems to be turning into just a story about a high school romance. I have nothing against that but I was rather disappointed that this wonderful idea was starting to turn into a regular love story. The world that the author created seems so unique... Yet, the author is now focusing on the high school crushes rather than how the characters progress and deal with their unique abilities as well as not having one.

For me, I can distinctly see how this manga has turned from an exciting adventure with new worlds into just a shoujo manga. I really hope that, once this whole love thing has calmed down, it will return to being the manga that is was in the beginning.

I can see myself starting to avoid reading this if it continues to keep on focusing so much about the romance, but for those of you who like shoujo manga, I definitely think this manga is something to consider.

So far, up until the latest chapter (chapter 29) it has been an amazing experience to read this manga. I like the idea that each person has an unique ability (aka iris) and the characters are so full emotions and stuff. In my opinion this is probably one of the top 10 manga I have read.

MY favorite part of this manga is not the characters or the drawing (even though they are really well done) but rather the story and the plot. The author have done a great job putting up the plot, the chapters doesn't end to cliffhangy but you still really want to read the next chapter. Everything is perfectly planned.

a lot of great ratings for this and yet.... it's not that great. >_> if i was new to manga i'd say it's ok.... but personally right now it kinda bores me. Suggesting this to those who aren't looking for anything great.

the plot is very well done, and developped, as are the characters. the art is nice too. even though sasamori always seems to have wind in her hair! biggrin
the main characters are very likeable aswell.
i'd disagree with what Denyx has to say, true the chapter has left us with that cliff hanger, but, the rest of the story relies on how toru reacts so until we know, we don't know whether it'll become all episodic romance manga biggrin
it's a must reaD!

oh man, in the beginning of the story, it gave off good vibes, nice storyline, so I thought well i'll give it a try, so far its good until ch 28, then, there goes another bad-romance-manga-storyline
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
to be simple, another girl joined, main heroine got jealous, the new girl confessed, main hero tried to get rid of the new girl, his act made a new misunderstanding with main heroine, main heroine cried and left

oh man, please dont make this series into another roller-coaster-romance

my rating used to be 9/10, but now its 7/10

10/10 For sure, this manga has everything you need for light reading:

-Cute characters
-Likable protagonist and likable love interest
-No stupid fan service
-No annoying childhood friend/tsundere school president/idol fight for affection
-Interesting, albeit simplistic and shallow, puzzle arcs (I did say light reading)
-Well characterized and three dimensional supporting characters that aren't paper cut outs
-Villains that are easy to sympathize with rather than being evil for the sake of being evil
-Minimal use of stupid plot devices to fill in plot holes (not being 300 chapters long helps, obviously)
-Believable dialogue and minimal use of "manga logic"

-Most important of all: great art.

I can go on and on about how great this manga is, but there are a few weaknesses. It is a bit shallow. The hardcore seinen/psychological fan won't be too intrigued by what's going on here. The exposition is lacking, the setting feels a bit forced and almost all background information is given through flashbacks. There are a lot of missed opportunities, especially at the beginning, to emphasize the difference between those with and those without irises. (I can't really fault the manga too much because it was supposed to be a very short series with no plans for a long serialization.) It also isn't very dark, which by itself isn't a weakness per se, but genre fans generally like the dark stuff.

Despite all that I give it a 10/10. There are deep underlying themes within the story; character foils and recurring motifs add to the complexity of each member of the main cast. It's rare that I care about every single character connected to the main protagonist, but this mangaka has done it. The strength of the characters far outweigh the comparably miniscule complaints I have about this manga.

Everyone should give this series a try, at the very least read the first 2 arcs.

How can a supernatural school story with no fanservice, no violent action and a rather generic art style keep me so addicted. The characters really shine in this show with superpowers that only make the drama better.

One of the few ones that deserve high praise. The characters are wonderful, the idea is really unique, you have sweet and cute, dramatic and shocking and sad and depressing moments. the art is good, the topic is quite serious (if you actually think about it), and you get provided with a background story for every important character in each arc.
In addition the protagonist is someone whom you can really like: he is smart, considerate but still a regular human being.

about to be perfect: 9.5/10

This manga is one of the best i've read so far. the concept is basic and the art work are nice. aside from some holes in the concepts, (which i think every manga will have) it is a masterpeice!
