Description
From J-Manga:
Brought up in an all-girls high school, Sachi is a natural airhead who has been single for her whole life. During her first match-making party, she meets a boy called Yuki-chan, and suddenly her history of being boyfriendless has come to an end...?!
ok i was liking this manga at first but then it started to get so boring and i knew where its going its started to go in circles the story and characters feelings thats what annoying the only thing i do like but also hate (LOL) is that the feeling are so real!!!
in the typical shoujo u would see that the main female/male will move on in 2 weeks or 1 month to a knew love interest but this one actually is different taking time (though its actually the main reason causing it to be boring)
out of all 5 main characters 2 are totally hurting others around them and themselves just cuz they dont know what they want!!!!

Yuki likes Akemi his long time love but the time he spent with Sachi i felt he started to have feelings for her, he's just trying to push it out or maybe he still haven't realized that Akemi now isn't the same person for him his feeling for Sachi and Akemi have changed.
Akemi love Yuki but after going out with Yuuhei she started to have feelings for him even though while braking up with him she said she didn't love him while she was going out with him, its just that she didn't realize her own feeling so she's actually hurting 2 people dragging Yuki around even though her feelings for Yuuhei has taken over her heart, she just needs to let go of Yuki brake up with him make things clear not keep hurt heart closed up.
Sachi is trying very hard to forget Yuki but keeps getting reminded of him, she's trying to start a new with Akahoshi who i wish she would be with but i know at the end its Yuki she'll end up with but i think she's the only one true to her feeling telling akahoshi the truth yet he still wants to stay with her even though Sachi loves Yuki!
Akahoshi i feel sorry cuz after reading the 3rd volume i knew he wasn't going to be Sachi at the end, i hope he finds a good girlfriend
I can't belive, that was so good.. It was just a simple shoujo, with schematic plot, but it gives me so much! This was like someone was stealing my heart.. In the beginning, I coudn't understand, how Sachi can behave like that, with this idiotic smile. But later, it completely gets me! I cried so many tears, that my head was going to explode.. Seriously.. Read it! It's worth it!
Definitely a shoujo manga but for some reason I didn't mind it.. probably because her love is so pure and honest it's hard to turn away from it. A lot of people may think she's stupid or lame but honestly, she's quite a strong character and her feelings are actually very realistic. It was really predictable and I found myself saying things like "cmonnn it's so obvious!" but nevertheless, I did enjoy it. There was something about it that really got to me... maybe it was her innocence, or maybe it was just how beautifully fragile everything was but all in all, i definitely don't regret reading it.
Soooooooooo, TYPICAL and the worst part is..its not a good typical, its just .... a copy of the real ..its..I don't have the word for it ! ...its just, Cheap, Boring,predictable and , and ...bluuurghhh....there are better manga then this that have practically the same plot is what i'm trying to say !
When i first read the summary, i though the plot would mostly revolve around Sachi & Yuki But wow, was i wrong.

Though Sachi deeply loves Yuki, he's still hung over someone from his past who was also one of Sachi's best friends.
At the beginning i thought that Akemi & Yuuhei would be the mature, level headed couple while everyone were "the kids confused yet curious about love". but i felt after

she and Yuki were caught kissing, causing Akemi/Yuuhei to break up
they sort of "Fell from that grace" if you get what i mean, She seemed just as confused about Love as Sachi did and Yuuhei becomes an Sympathetic yet Comic relief character. Despite the drama no one was all "You cheater!" "You bitch! how could you do that to me?!" or "I'll never forgive you!" Even if they were hurting there was maturity and forgiving, Everyone still felt innocent despite the things they've done, If that makes sense Lol. And i can't lie i was Completely rooting for Sachi/Yuki. though it bugged me how it felt an little forced that Sachi got smitten so quickly at the goukon. But as time passed as she and Yuki got closer, I definitely felt they were meant to be.

I know most are pissed she didn't end up with Akahoshi even though he liked and wanted to be with her. But Sachi loved Yuki, she couldn't forget him or just switch off her feelings like an On/Off switch And she didn't want to use Akahoshi, (I loved how she knew that wasn't right, I really admired her for that.) Besides i'm tired of people getting pissed off at certain love-triangles regarding the girl never picks the nice guy, sure he's nice but if she doesn't feel anything for him why be with him? she just leading him on and she, herself is unhappy in an one-sided relationship.
The art reminds me of an cross between Mimori Ao and Nakahara Aya More realistic looking then the Cutesy, big-eyed moe style seen in Shoujos.
This manga gave me a feeling... you know, that feeling you can never place?! Yup. It's hard to describe... it's like, it makes me want to run around the house yelling, and maybe crying at the same time? .... No? That makes me seem crazy...
ANYWAYS, it.... I was certainly hooked on it. I mean, sometimes I got reallllly annoyed with the characters (I was reading it really late, and literally just slammed my screen shut and went to bed at one point lol), but then I realized that they were really... honest... in a weird way. At least most of the characters. Sa-chan was one of the most honest heroines I have ever seen, and although she cried a lot, she WAS really strong. It was... endearing. Instead of getting annoyed at her emotions, I felt along with her.
I think I really liked the ending. It was very hopeful, and.... full of giving you that... feeling?
All in all, it wasn't the best; I believe it to be somewhere in between decent and very good. Hm. Yes.
I really enjoyed reading this series. The characters are very likable (Yuuhei was a refreshing guy and Akahoshi is beyond cool), and while at certain times I thought they were all idiots, their overall character development was excellent. The plot was well balanced; not too much angst, not too much fluff and while it may have been predictable, there were times I found myself wondering if things would go in a completely different direction and surprisingly enough, I wasn't frustrated by it. As for the art, it may not be super fancy but it is still very beautiful. The emotions are captured very well which makes it even more enjoyable.
Overall, it's a very good read, totally worth my time.
Art (10%): 8 Just average art but it fits the characters. The art also feels more grownup and realistic than a lot of shoujo which fits the story.
Story (40%): 8 The story itself is an average and predictable shoujo. What makes it good is how natural and realistic the story is. I can imagine the relationship problems actually occurring.
Character (40%): 9 The characters are pretty cliche but they are likable. None of the characters are particularly remarkable but that makes it realistic. There are also realistic amounts of character development.
Enjoyment (10%): 10 I don't know exactly why I enjoy reading the story so much. It could be that I love the pure love that Sachi has for Yuki or the development in their relationship.
so everyone in the manga seemed to grow/mature over the curse of the 3 volumes.... except for the 2 main characters annoying. HE thinks nobody loves him, and SHE thinks she can't love anyone else but him *sigh*
im being generous with my rating bc it was good enough to make me wanna finish it...
Adorable and one of the best ever. It took me forever to find some manga that would keep me interested, and by the time i did, it was super late at night. But it was sooooo good, I couldn't help but keep reading more and more. =) I loved it.
