I absoulutly love this series, I love age gaps, so this series was right up my alley.
The heroine is very sweet and caring and honest. The male lead is defnintly cool, he treated Ninna as a young lady not completly like a child. I wish at the end of the third part there could have been a bit more romance, but it was still satisfying. If someones into a light fluffy cute romance, than this is it! I do hope this gets released in the U.S.

So sweet and simple. I'm generally not one for sappy reincarnation stories because c'mon, we all know what's going to happen and who's going to end up with who. But I still gave it chance and ended up really liking it. And I think what made it a little different was that the main character doesn't dwell on the past (or at least in a negative/annoying way). All the characters are super likable.

And in response to truyhoi:
I'm assuming that this was originally a short story and finished with 3 chapters, but because it was well received it became serialized just recently.

It would have had a sweet ending though, but I'm really glad it's on-going ^^

Thats what I call a great shoujo: great art, great plot, great ending. I don't even need to describe it. So, good choice if you want to read something nice.
Btw, read extra, even though it's have a different setting - last 3-4 pages are about our adorable couple, and they are sooooo sweeeet. :3

Loved that one, although i was hoping for him to really realize who she was, or an open way of announcing it. But all i can say is: read that goddamn omake, those last pages wont disappoint you

Such an amazing story with amazing characters! I love Hiina a lot and I really like how the characters actually develop throughout the chapters. How they move on with their lives and make sure to cherish each other, making new friends and deciding their future. I love it!!!! And the ending is just so sweeeeeeet. Of course there are a lot of scenes where I cried a little but it doesn't stop me from smiling too. Truly, a recommendable manga to read!

This is the kind of Manga that should have been serialized much longer. The story has lots of potential and quite unique. It has a lot of room for development especially with Niina's situation where she can remember her past life. I want to know how it started and would have loved to see her progress on dealing with it. It wasn't entirely explained in the story and we only got a short scene on Niina dealing with Chitose's past life.

The premise weirded me out though: a ten year old girl in love with a much older guy. Don't get me wrong, I love age gap romances but that situation just didn't excite me. However, when she got older, it was a lot a better. Again, the story has lot of potential with romance part too but the Mangaka limited her story. It was kinda rush and short. It would be nice to see development of Atsurou from being a heartbroken boyfriend to accepting and moving on to his life. It would have been better if we were able to see how Niina stepped out of loving Atsurou because she's Niina and not just a fragment of memory from Chitose.

Overall, it was a very nice story.

It is very touching, and the story is good. I usually don't like mangas with age differences, except for a few such as Hana to Akuma, etc. I read the first 3 chapters and it was awesome, I was satisfied with the ending but somehow it got serialized ^ ^ (No complaints) The story is still so sweet and heartwarming. The art is also a big plus in this. Niina is so cute~And her character is not annoying, actually, I don't think any of the characters are annoying Which is really rare.
Overall:9.8
Art=10
Story=9.5
Characters=10

Okie, so I love the art and Niina and Atsurou... But the story seems quite rushed, it looks like the content of 6 volumes condensed into 4 volumes. Atsurou is absolutely absent in 1/3 of the story and in general he receives little character development. I would have liked it better if the author'd spent more time on his feelings and thus given some more depth in his character.

Recommended! Prepare tissues before reading though, the story will make you cry, but it's sweet, cute, bittersweet, happy. The characters actually make you care about them. I like this author.

Omg Princess Bubblegum I am on the same boat as you!!!! After reading basically all the yaois I can put my hands on, I decided to give shoujo manga another shot and this one was good. It didn't foucs only on love but family as well. The only thing I wished would have happened is I really wished she told them she use to be Chitose. I know by doing this will change the whole storyline but that thought just kept tugging at me. I seriously want to see how it would have been if the storyline went down that route.
