This is a very, very typical shoujo. Lots of misunderstandings, lots of love triangles, lots of girls crying and guys being tragic. It does take a very long time to resolve, and I would say the resolution IS worth it--if you're bored and don't mind reading through lots of drama first.
The one thing I would disagree with some reviewers is their assessment of Momoka! She's not annoying, because she's NOT whiny, especially in comparison with other shoujo "heroines". She's actually very sweet, a pretty good person in her own regard, and surprisingly brave. I ended up liking her a lot, and her character is the one reason I'm giving this manga a seven and nothing lower. I applaud Minase Ai for writing a character that younger girls could not only identify with, but also find catharsis in. She's not a bad person, and although not a phenomenal one either, a pretty lovely character to identify with. Despite the cliches and drama, I HAVE (hopefully? I guess I'm counting chickens... *shudder*) made it to the good stuff, so I'll be sticking with it. ?

I really enjoyed reading this manga. I found that although cliche the character development was at a steady pace and the addition of new characters didn't annoy me as much as they normally do. Naturally this story has a couple of its downs but they are easy to over look in favour of how cute the couple is. I find the way they act towards each other and the awkward misunderstands so cute and the way they make up is always so sweet.
I recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys a lot of fluffiness with a smaller amount of drama mixed in just to keep the story going.

Just like the subject; it was good, but it went downhill starting from volume 3. I own all the tankoubons.

The heroine, Usami Momoka, I really liked her at first, but when suddenly every guy grows a crush for Momoka and when she suddenly turned into an obsessive lover, it made me dislike her. Even the love rivals, Moa and Hiroki are better than her, and I really like, really like Hiroki more than Usami (I like everyone more than Usami anyway. She ranked the very last in my NamiUsa favorite characters list, with Hiroki being the first, Moa the second, and Satsuki the third). She's seriously a self-centered person who only cried and cried throughout the entire manga, plus being overly-paranoid in her boyfriend (what's the point in a relationship if you can't trust your other half?).

For the hero, Narumi Takahiro, he's okay. He's just okay. And dull. There's nothing special about him, really. But to be the popular and most handsome guy in high school, seeing his past middle school self... it's one of the most cliche thing I've ever seen in this manga (and other mangas). He's a nice guy that actually can put up with Usami's shits.

I was pretty disappointed at the author because she made Satsuki's love unrequited and on top of that, because Amano didn't end up with Satsuki (I ship them somehow). I feel bad for Amano as well, as he loves Usami. This made me annoyed because a self-centered person like her who doesn't even consider Moa and Hiroki's feelings - doesn't deserve being loved by a guy as nice as Amano.

Don't let others' previous reviews fool you, because this is honestly a terrible manga with annoying heroine, dull hero, and more, more cliche storyline as you read through the chapters. The only good thing in this manga is the art.

Read this manga only if you're bored.

I found the manga generally entertaining but it is obvious that it was written for younger viewers. I personally enjoyed the dramatic, angst-y plot and I didn't mind the cheesy dialogue or the overused plot twists. Though the manga lacked creativity plot wise, I thought it made a good use of clichés to make the overall item a predictable, but classically entertaining read. Of course one of the many flaws of a manga aimed at younger girls is the cheesy cheese. The consistent and pointless appearance of baby animals in sparkly toning. Puppies in boxes, bunnies in forests. They did no harm to the story as a whole but their periodical appearances were still aggravating as hell.

I would probably love this if I was younger. Recommend for girls who likes a sweet and cliche story. There is a bit of a love triangle going on, silly misunderstandings and unfortunately a lot of crying from our heroine. It's not a realistic story.

Personally I am not too fond of the story; it's overly dramatic and too cheesy.

The first few chapters in the past, may seem very cliche and typical, but as you read I can guarantee you it definitely gets better. So does the art ^o^

The lead become likeable for me as the story progressed. It's too early to judge if their will be any major character development right now.

the first 2vol. have follow the tipical story line of any drama-romance, but whit is very posible that this manga can become something more that a regular one, there is still a huge gap between the cap up until now and a very HAPPY ENDIING so can´t wait for the next one´s.

if still haven´t start to read MOVE YOUR ASS AND READ

well oficially i have seen 3vol. and there are 9 out so i barely can wait to see what is goin to hapend next
