She's so loveable as a protagonist. Not at all like typical protagonists because she lacks the traits that make most shoujo protagonists annoying. She's smart, kind, and straightforward, but in a realistic, natural way instead of the extremes/exaggerations that would be found in a lot of other shoujo manga, where the protagonist is so kind that she's naive/slow or so smart that she lacks social skills. The way she thinks also would reflect what any real girl in love would think or feel. She's also not a Mary Sue; she does have flaws, but they're believable, and they just make you love her more.

I'd be really surprised if there's someone who actually dislikes her character.

There's also none of the exaggerated melodrama and misunderstandings that drag on forever and ever and take 50 chapters to resolve when just a simple conversation could solve everyone's problems.

This is a really great slice of life type of romance that could actually happen to anyone, and you really find yourself rooting for the main couple because they're both so relatable and likeable.

Everyone mentioned the watermark XDD And I do agree that the watermark is annoying..if they could make it a bit..no A ALOT smaller, it would be fine c:. I really dont like how they put the humongous watermarks, many people are dropping this manga cuz of it, thats really not fair. Its a pretty good manga, if you can stand the marks..try > A <

I know i would really love this manga but i couldnt read it i got so annoyed by the watermark and it took me so out of the manga i actually ended up hating the manga because of it! I hope another group picks it up because its such a shame that what seems to be a sweet manga will go unread because of this

This manga is nice and simple. A predictable read, but nonetheless, a nice read for shoujo manga fans, however, I dropped it because of the scanlation group. I'm graceful that people are willing to take their time and scan mangas with nothing for exchange, however, it's getting extremely hard to enjoy the manga when you can't see the artwork. Before it was okay, a considerable size for a watermark and somewhat transparent, but in the chapter 5, this giant solid gray stamp is covering the character's face! I hope they will change their method soon.

Why I like it:
I've never found anything as warm, pleasing and original as this series. The female lead is one of the best shoujo leads out there. The series is pretty plain, and the originality is worth appreciation. You can easily relate to the lead. She realizes that no trick would draw Hana's attention, and therefore waits for him to reciprocate her feelings. You won't have every page filled up with those awkward thoughts of "Am I in love" or something like that because Nanase is well aware of her feelings and actions. The series is very simple, and the romance is taken very naturally. You wont find lots of kisses right after confession, you wont have those cheesy lines filled throughout. The characters are lovable. Even if the guy named Goujo comes as a rival for Hana (in a certain way) he is not a bad guy at all (Actually I started liking him more than Hana T^T). His innocence and his love for Nanase can lead the readers to think if he is a better choice for her. The latest chapter is very sad, but the author has just showed the originality and uneasiness of someone's feelings. When you love someone, you love them from all your heart. But the day when you realize they dont love you as much as they should, or you are not as close to them as you thought till now, you start feeling uneasy. Love doesn't happen out of the blue here, Hana takes a while to forget about the teacher, and Nanase is not in a hurry either. And so, its really amazing ^.^ But..... Is it not a love triangle? The time I picked it, and even now, the categories don't say its a love triangle. Actually I don't really like love triangles, and maybe I might be mistaking but I thought this series was one. But I am glad the categories don't have it or I wouldn't have picked this, which would be a big mistake.

Why I dont like it:
Its not completely translated T_T When I started it I was like "Oh...I dont care even if its not complete. Not like its anything serious" But when I read the new chapter I wanted more, cause its sad. I always try to pick completed series because if I ever run into a good ongoing series, after the last scanlated chapter, I have this fever of learning japanese so that I can read the raws. But lets hope we get new chapters soon ^-^

guys, this manga is remade so there are no more watermarks. you guys can read these better chapters at the Shoujo-Sense's home page. After that, I think we should rate this manga as it shoud be rated. ^^

Ahh omg. I LOVE THIS SERIES! (>//////////<)
There's nothing I can describe my feelings right now! So far, so good! I really wanna know what happens next. But searching for raws to read is no good since I don't understand any Japanese. One word to describe this series.. AMAZING. Hana-kun is like...ASDFGHJKL. -blushes-

Give this manga a try! It's worth reading, you won't regret it!! <3333333333

I like this shoujo manga because the male isn't idiot or treat the nanase badly

he is so nice with her,thats why I love it and its very realistic because

Usually not into shoujo highschool that much. but for a while Im looking for unrequited love stories, and here it is I tried to read this and cant stop until the last chapter. I got attached because the characters and the development between the main characters, the mangaka isnt overdo it and its feel realistic.I've decided this manga will be my favorite. hope that upcoming chapter is not gonna be boring.

I can relate to Nanase feelings of unrequited love for Hana-kun....
Unrequited love is such a painful and thorny path for one's to continue...
I admire Nanase for her unchangable love for Hana-kun and how she tries her best...
This series is soooooo goooooood....

I really like the art, the plot and the characters are soooooo likeable...
I will root for you Nanase's love to be requited in the end...
Ganbatte Nanase...
Love is not always sweet, one must endure pain and hardship at first....
And if it is true, then it will find a way!!!!
