Sweet, innocent, touching. A rare example of shoujo I can read. I especially liked the fact that male lead was cold silent thinking type not yapping constantly arguing with female. Well I guess when your future wife runs away to look for her previous groom there's a lot to think about.
The art's very slick in this one. Clean lines, attractive faces - very pleasing to the eye. The story is also really nice. I would've liked to have seen a bit more emotion in the ending, but it was definitely pleasant enough without it. In all, this is a cute and appealing shoujo one-shot with a bit of a different kind of story to it. Recommended.
Great, compact one-shot, full of emotions. It took me a few times to actually read into the lines (or the..art?) because there are many subtle hints throughout that connect to make the ending all that sweeter. I also salute the mangaka for the dialogue - no unecessary additions. Ultimately, I give it full marks because of the impact it has despite its subtlety. Beautiful! I wouldn't mind a series either, but it's the magic of a oneshot I guess..

Anyways. So far, I've only read the first oneshot. But still, cuuuuute!!!! First off, I adore Akizuki Sorata-sensei's art. And (though I've only read one other manga from her) I find I tend to like the characters, worlds, and storylines she creates. So I started this manga with high hopes. Let me say, I was not disappointed! It was cute, it was sweet, it didn't feel rushed, and I loved the characters. And I found it awesome that

Jiru had a reason for running away that wasn't something stupid and unrealistic like "I wanted you and Lucel to end up together! :D"
...I'll right a more useful comment when I don't feel so light-headed. I feel like this whole comment was just a string of run-on sentences. -_-
