I thouht this was really cute. Sure it may have had moments where it was really cliched, but I still think it stood well on its own. I loved the characters, I thought they were really funny, especially Saya. I thought Takase was so adorable the way he was so dishonest about his feelings haha

The art to me was wonderfully done. Definitely above average, and really made the story enjoyable. I really wish that it was longer though. I really didn't want this to end. I think it could've been stretched out a little more. This was definitey at least a 5 volumer haha

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I wondered how Saya's parents and older sister felt about her debuting. I mean, her sister was all everyone talked about, and no one believed that Saya could sing. Her sister must've been a little jelly seeing Saya doing what she hasn't. And even though Takase is such a bishie, her parents must've had some qualms about him being so much older than her. Anyway, I'm glad that she chose to stay with him in the end after all they've been though together. And even though he asked her out not really because he liked her, he ended up loving her so much!! I mean "you're the first person I've ever been afraid of losing" Swoon and him telling her if you choose to stay with me then i'm never letting you go again. Oh my, my lol

This is the first and maybe last time I'll say this but I wish it was longer. It felt rushed at the end. Also some of it was really cliche. One of the characters basically disappears until the last page so they never pick up between him and Saya. I just wish it had been planned out better and there were maybe three or four more chapters.

I also have to agree that the main character is not annoying or stupid thank you god.

I have a hard time remembering anything so I think I will definitely forget this manga. Just a time killer. It was pretty nice, she should've had a fling with hiragi though. :3 Or well, I think so. I couldn't bring myself to appreciate the plot.. Come on, really, a teenage girl debuting? Not very original.

It is an entertaining manga and although the idea of a young girl debuting as a singer has been done many times it is definitely an original manga in it's own right.
But I found it somewhat frustrating to read sometimes. *possible spoilers ahead* - like when the main guy speaks coldly to her as he helps a rival singer debut. She gets all upset before her debut song and ends up thinking she was in the wrong for yelling at him. None of it would have happened if he'd just explained it to her.
And then the main guy says some totally awful things to her to protect her from the press and, lets be serious, he didn't have to go that far either.
So a little annoying, but overall a good read.

A very enjoyable manga. I had the opportunity to read summaries of the last few chapters that haven't been scanlated/translated yet, and I think it's a quite good series. I really like the concept. ;3 This is just my opinion, but I think the mangaka could have made the manga better... Or they could have developed the story more. =/ I also didn't really like the cliche element of the guy sacrificing something for the heroine and covering it up with being cruel to her... x-x

the main guy has the most charming face! biggrin
some parts was rather a bit odd! >< mostly the girl's line
its like the author has these images in his head how it is going to turn out- but he just left some detail out making the girl over reacting! in some parts!
that's what i think......but i lov the drawing- especially the guy's face "OHHHHHMYGODD!" ><

So far I like this manga a lot. Its a little cliche at first but I think the element that saves the manga so far is that the main character is is not really annoying. I like the fact that she is some what strong from what I can tell. I'm only basing this off the first chapter though. I hope it will continue to be as good as I how I feel it is now.
