Just started reading this. I wasn't too into it at first, it seemed a little boring and too simple, with no character depth. I dragged through the first chapter or 2, until it reveals that she has MPD. After that the characters become more interesting and I'm getting more into it.
Just gets better

I did not think that Mahoraba was something special in the first few volumes, even if I was enough entertained to keep reading. However, the story became more and more interesting and the last ~3 volumes were awesome. And for once, the ending was perfect!
The art isn't great but there's a LOT of feelings in the drawings, which really helps you getting emotionally involved. Highly recommended if you'd like some light-hearted romantic comedy with some dramatic undertones.

A great read thats definitely worth your time. Lots of interesting points to consider, lacked a little on emotional settings but did a fantastic job of really getting the story out.

Definitely one of my favourites, I may read it again when I inevitable forget it do to my crap memory, but its an awesome read. From beginning to end I found it enjoyable, and you really end up liking all the characters. I especially like how EVERYONE got a happy ending, instead of just the main pair, some just romances leave off when the main pair gets a happy ending, but knowing everyone else ends up ok really gave it a nice finish.
love happy endings

Just finished Mahoraba vol 12 and so the story ends. Must say that this is one of the best Romance/Comedy Mangas i have ever read. From the start and until the end it fills the heart with happy feelings. An ending cant get much better than this.
Very good read

I was a little skeptical of this at first for some reason. It didn't suck me in immediately, but by the time I was finished I found it to be a great read.
At first, I thought a little bit more could have been done with the MPD aspect of the story, but then again I can also see some potential pitfalls of putting too much focus on it, so I'm happy enough as it is.
Filled with unique and likable characters who are all nicely developed by the end. It's really quite funny and light most of the time, but there are enough well placed deep and poignant parts to make it a very affecting story overall, without beating you over the head with a lot of melodrama.

Anime is good, but doesn't do justice to the manga's depth. The characters in the manga mature fantastically, and the build-up to the end is great too. I'd like to see more works from Kojima Akira.

I just finished reading this, and all that I can say is that it was a great story. It had one of the best endings I've read. The story didn't feel rushed, and the ending explained all of the characters stories really well. It's a nice light hearted story, that makes you feel satisfied after reading it. I love it so much that I give it a ten.
Nice

I have really given up about seeing the ending someday. One of the funniest and the romance not so bad, greatly recommended to those who like comedy and cute moments.
