It was in the wee hours of the morning when I came across this manga. I read all the comments before just deciding to go for it, I had time to kill. I enjoyed this manga a lot more than the comments would have made me believe I could. I thought it flowed well, if maybe a tad overly done with the mystery behind everything and maybe with a small bit of creepy thrown in. We saw the struggle behind our heroines life and decisions. And while the manga didn't focus on figuring out her 'power' I actually liked that it didn't. Sometimes weird shit happens, because of this power she was able to overcome a lot of things and along the way understand people. I liked how things were tied off at the end and I always love a happy ending. <3

Ditto with kichiX's review. Aside from that, the manga started out great, and the second volume wasn't so bad either. But the third was just a huge disappointment. Maybe I'm biased because I wanted Saki to end up with Kou, and because I find the whole "Midori is actually not your blood-related sibling lol" thing just an excuse so it wouldn't be considered incest. Kudos though to the author for making a unique gimmick. The art is a nice mixture of old shoujo style with modern standards. I really like those eyelashes.

I actually didn't expect much from this manga but it was surprisingly enjoyable. It's not too long and the characters were pretty likable. The pacing and the secrets made it a better read. Overall, this is worth your time if you're looking for something to read. The plot is interesting, the art is decent and the female lead is as realistic as it gets for a shoujo manga. It's the epitome of a light-read.

The only thing I didn't like was the end, which was pretty out of place and ruined the pacing.

I liked the main characters. I liked the fact that they were grey. I liked the fact that Midori was nice. I liked the character development in the first volume. I liked the fact that it had a nice ending. I liked that the "jerk" actually, truly, realised he was a jerk and stopped being one.
I find it a fault in most mangas that the main characters are almost never conflicted in their actions morally. It's almost as if the characters know they're in a manga and act according; unrealistic and always doing the "good thing". Saki, in a sense, is not like this. She acts more like a human in the first "arc". Although she does the right thing in the end, she was content to accept her "friend" (I forgot her name) being bullied after she exposed her lies. The ending of this first arc is not clear cut either; her "friend" is neither her friend again nor her enemy.
Saki's love with Midori is exactly what fit in this manga. It crept in without Saki noticing, and as such didn't take much "shoved in your face" development from the author. Midori may have been 2-D, and his "secret" may not have been up to much (although in a manga, unless the hyped up secret is something along the lines of a secret government plot to wipe everybody out, it's always going to be a disappointment) but at least he was nice. And his niceness didn't really have any ulterior motive. I never got the feeling that he was playing with Saki for his own ends, but rather he actually cared about her.
The third volume is different from the first; it focuses more on the aforementioned "secret" and the relationships between the three/four main characters. Although it would have been nice if the manga had continued in the same vein as the first volume, I didn't find it that bad.
Overall, this is a nice manga, with a decent ending and characters that are more human than most.

 Ok but just not... great

This story had an interesting enough plot, and the beginning was pretty good with some interesting questions but as the story progressed and came to its end... it just seemed to fall just of being anything really good or memorable.

Plot- I couldn't help feel from the first volume that the second volume should have been much more. There were secrets that turned out to be pretty shallow and not well explained and left the first half (which was pretty good) feeling pretty silly and dramatic with how easy it would to resolve the conflict. I know I'm probably not making much sense, but Midori's later reasoning’s sounded pretty lame and not really.... plausible. I just couldn't accept some of the answers to the questions and that made it pretty anticlimactic for me when I was expecting something more.

Characters- Ok, the main female is pretty amazing! Though she goes through hard time and difficulties she is always working to help others and herself, she won't just sit there and cry. It's really refreshing to see such a strong female lead!
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Especially since she falls in love with the nice guy and not the jerk...or used to be jerk I guess... still
Midori however was very shallow and one dimensional and even when more of his past and character are revealed he was pretty boring and dull for me and not a very compelling character. As for the romance... it was shallow, fast and just... meh.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I'm not a fan of incest, and only read it because I saw the tag that said 'false incest' and I already knew that Midori was not really Saki's brother.


Art- All right, Midori looks a little strange form time to time. Nothing special or grand, but passable.

Other- It's just an all right story for me. Interesting plot, great female lead and yet it just doesn't meet up to its possibilities and ends up just becoming a forgettable story that I couldn't really enjoy. Too bad, it had potential. It's short, you might want to read it just for Saki, but I wouldn't recommend it.

5/10- Was all right

Just boring enough to not make it exceptional but just entertaining enough to keep you from stopping. This manga is just very middling. The romance is meh and the issue of Midori an the female lead being
Spoiler (mouse over to view)

just isn't explored enough. It's like the female lead doesn't really care much about it except as an obstacle to keep her from Midori.

The manga basically ends once the two main characters get together. Literally right after their first kiss, there are about 5 pages of epilogue and then it's the end. So if you're looking for substance, you'll be disappointed.

It was cute, though, and a good light read.

It's better than the usual shoujo fare, and I like how it didn't feel rushed despite it being only 3 volumes. I also liked all the characters - ALL of them. They had their own faults as well as redeeming qualities. The premise of a shoujo heroine with the ability to detect lies was what hooked me in the first place, since I figured it would bypass the annoying 'I'm lying to the heroine in order to break apart her and her love interest' or any plot devices like that. I also liked that the love was understated, and not in a dramatic, "OH MY GOD I LOVE SO-AND-SO." (For example, Kou in chapter 8.)

The art style is clean and pleasant to look at, and it's not confusing to follow. I also like how the mangaka reverses the colors so whenever someone's lying, they appear mainly black with white outlines -- it really underscores the impact of the lies. Despite it being so short, the manga achieved in producing a full story with strong characters and plot.

If you're a habitual shoujo reader, then I would read it. If you're not... I think this is probably too far into the genre to be likable.

The female lead is not that annoying, and though her sixth-sense is a little bit far-fetched, the power lays the foundation of the entire manga, not the romance. Saki, the main character, is not entirely an idiot, and shows compassion and determination at the right spots. She knows when to give up, but also grows as a person, in that she learns that there is a "story behind every lie." I thought that the theme was well-articulated, and even though others insist that it degenerated into shoujo fluff at the end (the 2nd to last page-ish), I think it was a nice thing to tie together the series. The scene after that... well that could have been skipped to save many a stomach.

The male lead, by comparison, appears pretty much one-dimensional for the entirety of the series. But the girl is starved for genuine companionship after the first major plot event, she accepts his... superficialness. He is princely and thus good-looking, ridiculously kind to her, etc. Basically, he fulfills the entire shoujo love interest requirement. Next to perfect, with a supposed "flaw." The drama around his "flaw" was terrible. I'll be blunt about it. Being as the story is predictable, I knew it was going to happen, and I suppose it could have been worse.

That said, combined, I didn't really care much about the female or male lead. They could have ended up together or not, but I really didn't care. Perhaps the story was hard to relate to, but I've read several supernatural mangas where I am capable of connecting with the characters. If I was kind, I would say that the emphasis of the series, despite the over-arcing theme of romance, was on the "lie" thing, which is probably the only great thing about this series.

Her ability does create drama, but it also forces her to learn, and I think this manga does have some character development, at least in the female lead. I really don't think the male lead changes. I believe the author attempted to write off his "development" as the unmasking of his character, but the so-called hidden pasts did little to provide him depth.

Overall, it's not spectacular, but it's not terrible. It's only two volumes too. (There is no way I would read this if it were any longer). The side characters are mildly likable, and I did not find myself wanting to murder any fictional characters (i.e. no annoyingly persistent rivals that shouldn't exist even in shoujo).

Therefore, my recommendation reads: If you have (a lot of) free time and you're a shoujo reader, try it.

Most shoujos I read, I usually expect that it will be like the rest which is where there are no new scenarios (example: girl gets cornered by jealous snobs. Almost every shoujo I ever read) But shockingly (to me) it was good.

Only problem I had though, was the ending. I really hate those type of endings especially how

it's not so cliche in the end, where they weren't blood related sibling.
LOL, that part doesn't suit my taste XD

but after all, this one's a good manga
the idea is unique, every problem cleared, and many moral lessons

hem about the artwork, nothing special for me
but everything's illustrated well
