It's cute and simple I won't say it's crap because of it's any other shoujo story line. The art is really nice and you have an easy going plot to read. I really enjoyed it, I espically like Yuushin & Kou-chan.

I really love this manga! The main character is so cute and really honest, being able to show weakness when she's takes steps she was unable to do in the past.I usually hate crybaby heroines, but Hiyori is different, she's lovable and reasonable. Especially since even though she is painfully shy, she's trying her hardest to change and become someone more outgoing. The way she both loves and admires Yuushin is adorable too! Hiyori is someone shy people(like me) can relate to. the author did a great job with this manga and i really wish it was published in English so could own the all the books. I recommend this 100% ^_^

Never have I ever found a main female character in a shoujo manga that is a crybaby and is weak yet is adorable and completely likable. Hiyorin is certainly the case.

The plot of this manga isn't mind-blowing, in fact, it is definitely cliche. But it's the characters that keep me going. (And the author doesn't use cliches in a vomit-inducing sort of way, thankfully - mostly this is because the character is so likable!)

I like how even though Hiyorin is a crybaby and weak, it's not used pathetically as a trait just to de-Mary Sue her. It's used as a flaw in this story - she wants to overcome this; she doesn't try to run away from her problems, like a previous reviewer mentioned.

I love how the artist has the ability to create heart-warming (yes, I know, cliche xD) scenes...the art is lovely, not the best, but very cute and shoujo-like...and the reader is able to feel what Hiyorin is feeling, in terms of romance. I like that. And it's not vomit-inducing at all.

Also, I like how Hiyorin accepts the fact that she likes Hirose, it's not that whole "girl-is-too-dense-to-realize-that-she's-in-love" thing. And I like that Hiyorin likes Hirose for his personality, not his looks.

Hirose is really adorable. He's decent looking, but that's not the main point. It's is personality that brings him out - he's outgoing and friendly, especially to Hiyorin, which is probably why she's attracted to him in the first place. I love how in here, friendship comes before romance (although she was rather quick to admit she likes him).

Anyway, I recommend this to readers who enjoy fluffy, adorable romance and a lovable female character. Not for shoujo fans into smut and tsusendre girls (unless you like all types, like me ).

This series is for YOUNG GIRLS (early middle school ect..) so to be honest most of us reading and rating this series are probably older that the intended demographic. (WHICH IS WHY TO SOME IT MIGHT SEEM DISAPPOINTING!)But it is not at all its a rather pleasant & cute read (IT'S NOT LOLICON BTW !) the story & flow so far is rather good and the art is improving as the story also goes on. though some of it is cliche but it's shojo lol. btw i had my friends younger sister read this (she's 12) she rated it a 9/10 and I (22yrs) thinking what would I have really rated it if i was in the age bracket of 12-16 would have given it a 6 1/2 so I went with a 7/10!
also Though the female lead can be a bit shy & crybaby I like how she's working on improving herself to be better on being more outgoing and not running away from her problems every time.

I don't suppose any hot-blooded feminist who likes to imagine themselves as the main heroine would leave this alone if they decide to read it, since to them the girl would probably appear to be pathetic and frustrating to deal with (like why don't you just get up and do something ?). Small clumsy girl, that sort of thing probably appeals more to male readers, but hey, I'm no demographic expert.

There is nothing quite marvel or original about this series. The guy is good-natured and amiable to a fault. The girl is the poster child for 'moe mascot'. Seems like a world chock-full of good people, even the would-be love rival is beyond reproach. Someone was complaining that the background characters (especially the guys) were shallow. That complaint is so meta and applicable to so many anime series it's not even funny. Why do all the chicks fall for this one pathetic run-off-the-mill guy while other guys are all jealous ? Why is scoring with a girl all that high school boys seem to think of, do they lack other healthy pursuits ? Why are those who indeed have other pursuits (usually studying) portrayed as either that other boring guy in the class with no life that no one particularly cares about, or a godlike genius who seems to think intelligence equals being able to remember the name of Uzbekistan's capital city and computers equal screens of DNA strands and magical override key spamming ? And guess what, this does not just apply to fiction in Japan (hint hint).

I think someone else was complaining about scantily clad little girls and lolicon hentai here. Really, I kept my eyes peeled here and I don't recall one single instance a girl shows anything remotely resembling a cleavage. I hate the kind of woman you'd find somewhere in 'Sex and the City' about as much as you can imagine, and I don't see anyone showing off their skin here. I can't imagine what your reactions would be like if you watched hollywood movies these days. And the questionable incident you might be speaking of was

Ok that review won't help much since i am a guy and i read only until the 8th chapter and then dropped it.I am not into the shoujo genre at all but i read the 1st chapter by chance and i said what the hell let's give it a chance just in case it changes my whole viewpoint on them.Well it didn't.The only shoujo i have watched are some classic which have become animated like Lovely Complex,Yamato Nadeshiko,Kimi no Todoke,Paradise Kiss,Skip Beat and Fruits Basket and i can say that most were worthy of my time .This particular one is more similar to Kimi no Todoke meaning it hasn't got the "bad boy" character where the girl for no particular reason falls in love with him(if it had i wouldn't have begun reading in the first place).But it has all the other cliche all the other shoujo have example getting sick after a rainfall,popular boy and shy girl in the level of exaggeration,shallow back round characters(a side girl hooked up with another guy the day after another rejected her),valentine's day,and also the ridiculous comments of other guys towards the main protagonist like admitting that he is cool and that they are inferior(sorry but most of us guys are pretty egoistical so there is no chance that sth like this is even possible) etc...
If i was a girl and much younger i would rate it higher since it seems to at least try to become better than your average shoujo.(It may be a good alternative from Kimi no Todoke which in particular i also find having many flaws especially with the pace).I don't know, but that new trend with the shy girl in the level of muteness doesn't appeal to me much.It's one click above the wimpy male lead in shounen though.But adding on the shyness, the element of extreme naiveness(=stupidity) (which will probably become apparent on the later chapters if it follows the steps of KnT) you get a killer combo.

I'm about as anti-pedophilia as you can get. After reading a couple chapters, that's basically all I could see it as. Don't care for lolis. Just imagine if some man wanted to fool around with your daughter/little sister who was in elementary school. All these series about scantily clad little, prepubescent girls showing their panties and the lolicon hentai (usually incest) makes me think that Japan is full of pedophiles. I guess it's hard for many people to understand if they don't have their own child. Well... sometimes even that don't matter.

I have read the first 3 chaoters so far and it is really cute !!! both of them are so cute together !!!!
I agree it is not an original story, it is a typical shoujo but because this is really a nice one I don't mind reading it !!

Only two chapters out so it's a bit early to make a definite judgement, but I'll update my comment as the story unfold.
So far the art is great, The girl is very cute, and the manga is very pleasant to look at.
The story is a bit cliché at places, but it's not enough to prevent us from enjoying the manga.

I'll recommand to any one that wants a very cute, pleasant to read shoujo. It's something you can read and enjoy at anytime, even (or specially) between two more complicated, heart shredding shoujo.

i've only read the first two chapters, but judging from what i've read so far, it seems like a typical shoujo. hiyori and yuushin are pretty cute together and the art is nice.
