The plot has a "forced marriage" theme to it that really weighs down the plot. The characters lack of ability to communicate their feelings causes the usual cliche plot devices to crop up. Lastly, although the series calls itself a comedy, the characters are mopey and spend most of their time wallowing in self pity.

I really liked this series.It was so nice,funny and sweet to read that I finished it fast.I love the characters and the relationship between Fuuma and Satoko.Their characters are so great . I found the art not so complete.It's hard to explain.But I loved everythings else of this series.I really recommend it!

at first i didnt really liked it...cause it was a little bit confusing cause i dont really know who is the one talking and im getting the weird messages...<imagine that!>..but fortunately enough...i finally got used to it..

about the art...its not exactly the best...but i prefer it rather than over-the-bishie-art of somekind <that gives me creeps>

the story is also nice!! though i guess i expected too much..*coughmerupuricough*

overall it was pleasant read!! fuuma was so great!!! he is so mature!!! i really think that he is even more mature than older people..about satoko...i didnt really think that she is annoying...shes tough in her own way...

read it!! dfinitely recommended!!

this was incredibly sweet! i was hesitant to read something with such a huge age gap difference. well, as it turns out, this 10 year old boy is more of a man than many other guys ive read in other mangas. hes hard working, caring and even at the age of 10, tries his best to protect the things he loves. hes a hell lot smarter than alot of other manga guys too. haha.

the only bad points are...the art is not thattt superb...and i wish they did a '10 years later' scene afterwards. i wanted to see the part where they get married, etc!

the first time I stumbled upon this manga, I was a scanlation virgin. A girl 7 years older than the guy, that is so wrong. That's what I thought. After all a while, I decided to read the manga, and it has been one of my all time favorite shoujo manga. I don't know what to say, except just go read it already! You won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this manga it reminded me a bit of Kimi wa Boku no Mono except there is no obstacles other than the age difference. Although the art is nothing to brag about it was cute at times. What could have made this one better was to have speed up a few years ahead and show wether or not they at least make progress. Overall though i cannot complain, although i myself enjoy the same age or older male character with the heroine the fact that his mind was so mature it left me satisfied.

I admit I don't really like the idea of an older girl X younger boy couples, maybe I am being strictly conservative for my shoujo's... but this is an exception. I love how the story was made. Everyone should read it.. over and over!!

I really liked this manga. It was very, very cute. The art wasn't the best, but the story was adorable, and the characters were nicely developed. The age gap wasn't really a big deal to me... and really, I don't think she would be a pedophile. A pedophile is an adult who is sexually attracted to young children. She's not sexually attracted. And really, she didn't want to get married to him in the first place. Very cute. For shoujo readers, I would reccomend it.

after i saw all these comments about this manga i thought.. hm, ill give it a try. when i started reading it it was okay... but den i started to get bored -.-. i didnt like the art either it made my head hurt XD its not EXTREMELY BAD but well.. lets just say i skimmed though the chapters -.- so overall, i didnt really like it >.<.

The age issue made me squirm a bit while reading it, but despite that this is a great manga that put a smile on my face almost all the way through. Really sweet and cute.
