| Typical Shoujo by JaKXz on December 26th, 2009, 1:37am |
|
If you're a straight up shoujo fan, then you'll love this manga. If you're the kind of person who's looking for a thick, intense plot with some substance, you probably won't enjoy reading this.. that being said, its hard to criticize the manga for that because of its length.
What I will criticize it for is that its rather repetitive... i.e. the conflict is pretty much the same and happens a grand total of two times... so like I said, its essentially only a love story, not a story in terms of plot/conflict...
The characterization is actually rather good, you'll see the protagonists show some real backbone and I appreciated that. Not one of those completely conservative to the extreme that its bloody annoying to read =D. And its also got comedy too, so yeah its a great light read... perfect while you're going from one thing to another and have like 20-30 min to spare. It'll put a smile on your face too, so enjoy!

| Antisocial meets social by thebikernun on August 19th, 2009, 2:32pm |

Seems to be same ole' same ole', in the antisocial world. On that note, it was a good story and the development of the relationship of the main leads comes along nicely. I really enjoyed the art.

| too fast! by kitty_me on August 8th, 2008, 1:06pm |
|
wow. the manga moved in fast. by the 1st chapter they were already in love. im like "slow down!!".. haha
if only real love can be returned THAT easily..
i only wish there were more climax. all their problems seemed to be solved so easily...
but i guess somewhere in there is a great plot. and a great manga.
the characters are all likeable. even the so called 'evil' characters are likeable..
i never would have thought Kabuki actors were that famous...

| Cute by KittyTeea on August 3rd, 2008, 9:30am |

The story was sweet and funny, but without many surprises. The problems always got quick and not very spectacular settlements, but somehow the storyline was really enjoyable. As a lightread it can be just the thing that will brighten up your day.
The artwork was cute, and I especially appreciated the expressivity of the characters.
All in all I recommend it to any fan of this genre or to anyone who has a bad day.

| Great Story by mangafan321 on May 22nd, 2008, 9:18am |
|
Very sweet story, i was only annoyed with one of the characters Naoki (Spolier) he is the guy that tries to steal Akari from Ryusie, he was annoyingly obsessed with Akari, i wanted to kick him a few times, and tell him to leave Akari and Ryusie alone. Ryusie was such a sweet guy, he loves Akari so much, and i love how he is himself when she is around.

| sweet by ren.v on December 22nd, 2007, 3:14pm |

Overall, I think it's a really cute story. There's nothing too dramatic, so the two volumes are just enough to cover a nice story without feeling like it's too long. I think it's a bit interesting, since I haven't read a manga that deals with kabuki yet. However, the plot is a typical shoujo one and the characters do seem to fall in love quickly. If you're looking for a cute and sweet story then you should read it, but if you're looking for something with more substance then this isn't the story for you.
