I wouldn't really care about the age gap much if she wasn't nearly a legal pedophile.

The age issue made me squirm a bit while reading it, but despite that this is a great manga that put a smile on my face almost all the way through. Really sweet and cute.

I absolutely love this manga! I may be biased, seeing how I actually enjoy the category "Older Female Younger Male" - ah! But I don't like those hentai, ecchi, yaoi, shotacon types... this manga totally fit my needs. The male protagonist Fuuma is so cute. He is very intelligent and mature; however, being only ten years old, he can't help but incidentally show his childish side to his fiance. He's very kind and caring to her, and you can obviously see he really loves her. He's truly going to grow up a wonderful man. And his fiance Sakoto is very sweet. Although she's completely against the arranged marriage at first, as she spends more time with Fuuma and realizes just how great of a young man he is, she slowly falls for him. I seriously love all the scenes they have together, whether it be Fuuma or Sakoto blushing at each other to when they become jealous~ everything is so heartwarming. Plus, it doesn't just focus on Fuuma and Sakoto, this manga also pays attention to subordinate characters too! And their stories are so cute as well. I just seriously wish the manga could be longer! At least a sequel! I wanna see Fuuma all grown up! >.<

I loved this story, I really did.
It actually made me cry! Totally worth the time.
I'm very fond of Older female - Younger male mangas, they are really fun to read. But either way, I find this story a bit better than Merupuri(At least it's a bit more realistic). Anyhow I really love Fuuma, you can tell he really does love and care for Satoko, plus his way of thinking is amazing!
This manga really left a print on me and I hope the following readers will like it too!

I really enjoyed this manga it reminded me a bit of Kimi wa Boku no Mono except there is no obstacles other than the age difference. Although the art is nothing to brag about it was cute at times. What could have made this one better was to have speed up a few years ahead and show wether or not they at least make progress. Overall though i cannot complain, although i myself enjoy the same age or older male character with the heroine the fact that his mind was so mature it left me satisfied.

the first time I stumbled upon this manga, I was a scanlation virgin. A girl 7 years older than the guy, that is so wrong. That's what I thought. After all a while, I decided to read the manga, and it has been one of my all time favorite shoujo manga. I don't know what to say, except just go read it already! You won't be disappointed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and despite negative reactions to the art, there was something very cute and endearing about it. I like how the mangaka can portray honest emotions without sullying the mood. Even as she cried I felt sad and laughed and felt many things at once. That, and I like age gaps bigrazz

Note: I did not read the extra at the end… and never will… This review is solely for the main story Dear Mine

The cutesy story is full of great moments, that I found relatively unique (though a few cliché’s will be found…), that will make you’re heart melt. Beginning this manga I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, the cover wasn’t all that appealing to me, the premise was a common one in shoujo, and the only reason I began reading it was because I was bored. I was pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment I got out of this manga.

Plot- A very simple plot and it stays simple. The pace is amazing though! The slow developing relationship between Satoko and Fuuma was excellent, a great pace was set and kept between them for the duration of the story, beginning and ending their story perfectly!

Characters- I really enjoyed Satoko and Fuuma! They were great characters; Satoko was a very normal girl who is likable and upbeat. Fuuma is much more serious and stoic but gets so flustered at times, some his reactions are just so cute! While the mains were great the secondary characters however… they weren’t as great. I didn’t enjoy them all that much, some of them just got on my nerves to much. But as I continued to read I began to like them a bit better although they still didn’t compare to the mains. (Though without them the story would be half as good as it is.)

Art- This art style isn’t my favorite style but I could still enjoy it, even if at times it was a bit sketchy.

Other- The story is a romance, if you’re looking for a complex plot with many twists and turns skip this, I can see how you may find this a bit boring. If you’re looking for a comedy don’t expect this story to be to funny either, contrary to what genre’s its listed under this story doesn’t have comedy. Not that that’s bad, but if you’re searching for a more lighthearted, carefree, hilarious manga this isn’t really what you’re looking for.
I don’t usually like large age gaps, four years is about as far as I’m comfortable with, anything more I get uncomfortable and start switching around the characters ages in my head so they are closer together in age. So with this story the two characters are seven years apart, that’s a stretch for me, what makes it even more unrealistic is that the boy is only ten, very young. However the boy is so mature that it’s hard to think of him as ten, so with this manga I was again setting him a few years older than he was. But while I would have rather they were a bit closer in age I still liked their relationship and enjoyed this manga and recommend this for anyone interested.

8/10 –Was good
