It started pretty interesting. Then got a little boring. And then annoying. For a boxer male lead(Yamato) is pretty stupid and super clumsy(he trips and loses his balance all the time). The female lead(Megumi) is an oujo-san(Witty, arrogant and hardheaded). I was shocked after a few volumes no "secret" or plot twist could convince me of reading further. I managed to read a little more than a half, But the manga itself is not that interesting. I'm surprise it lasted for 20 vols, than again maybe it's not my taste.

:/ I liked it a lot. It's mangas like these that throw me off track though. Well...not the mangas, but the comments they get.
I simply don't understand the negative comments some people are leaving here.
Anyways, my overall comment: Don't listen to the bullcrap other people are saying, check this out for yourself.
The one thing I found somewhat annoying was that - yeah - the main character does have that quality of being indecisive, but in his case it's not so much because he's a wussy, but instead it's because he's so obsessed with boxing that he doesn't really notice the females or their feelings ^^

A fairly decent series, definitely has its ups and downs. Sometimes it seems like the story is going nowhere while other times it's really predictable. This isn't one of those really dramatic or deep series, it has its own pace that at times seems may make you wonder if it's even worth reading anymore. Although the ending wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped it wasn't a complete waste of time either. The series wrapped itself up quite nicely enough to redeem itself for the annoying parts here and there.
Overall, it's not bad, if you decide to stick with it it wouldn't be too long till the end. Just don't be expecting some great masterpiece and go with the flow and it's an easy ride to the end.

I really don't get why people are bashing this manga, it's true that it starts out with a strong plot and a "secret" that keeps you wanting to read more and more then somewhere during the middle it seems like the mangaka forgot completely about the plot and decided to have fun with developing the relationships between the different characters (which is in no way a bad thing) its just that it drags for quite a while that you can't stand but want to know the damned "secret" already. But from chapter 55 or something it starts getting back on track with the plot. The plot also seems inconsistent at times, the two leads obviously like each other and get jealous when thy see their counterpart with someone else but then at other instances the plot makes it seem that they never thought about getting together. So I suggest this manga to people who are into romance and have some time to spare. No real deep drama and the whole boxing aspect is not present in this story so for those hoping for a sports manga this is not for you.

It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, and it's not as good as others claim it to be. It's very slow, so if you have time to spare, you can go for it. It's not all that realistic, but then again. it's a harem manga. The art is sub par as well. However, I think there's just something about this manga that makes it worthwhile to read.
Although I don't think it is the author's intention, the manga turns out to be very light-hearted and very sweet. The drama is quite minimal, or should I say, doesn't exist. However, there are very sweet stories about normal, day-to-day relationships between friends, lovers, siblings, etc. That's why I can't bring myself to hate this manga. A good, light-hearted read for someone with time to spare.

Well, I liked it personally. Like previously stated, characters should have more emotion, and look more different. Scans come out UNBELIEVEBLY slow so it's hard to keep into it. Overall: story, art, and whatever else, I give it a 8.5

This was alright not the best but not the worst it just lost a lot of interest because of the impossibly long intervals between each new chapter
