Spoiler (highlight to view)
I'm at chapter 14..and after that love confession..I get the urge to crie..

It's such a beautiful story, I've never experienced any story like this, it makes my heart feel the same pain. It sucks you in with it's ray of feelings.

I can say, it's one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read.

I've read it all :o beautiful story. (almost cried a few times more)

This became my number 1 favorite, in fact if it was available in stores I'd buy the series! I'm kind of sad it's just four volumes because it's really good! (I was hoping it'd continue)
The story is somewhat themed as "dark and despair" and it is but the main two got over it and stayed together. plus i like the humor in it XD
I like chouko, she's innocent and extremely cute and useful around the house. I like main heroines like that.
Kei is emotional. a comment can receive a reaction from him. but he's somewhat sweet, [i guess.]
akiyama shinichi (lol liar game coincidence) is a great support character. so is paa-suke (forgot his real name)
you really should give this manga a try, it's like a cross of sand chronicles, mushishi, dengeki daisy, honey and clover, and tsuki to mizuumi.
But this manga is unique smile

As another commenter has said, the plot is indeed deep, sweet and in a way - very beautiful. The evolution of the plot does not seem rushed, but isn't excruciatingly slow as well.

Perhaps it's due to my undying love for the byronic heroes, but for me probably the best part of the story are the main characters who are flawed and imperfect from the beginning up until and including the very end in a way that's coherent with their storyline. No sudden and unexplained end of long-term depression and damaged mental state, just a little improvement.
Usually even the male characters with the worst, well, character, tend to have everything - money, women, no troubles communicating with the world, etc. In this story the mangaka has broken this "rule". The girl is probably a bit too overpowered when it goes to the charisma, but not to the level of other shoujo-manga characters. In this case I can actually understand people liking the sweet and innocent girl.

The situations are not overly romanticized or sexualized, hence the "slice of life" in the genre, though quite a generous amount of humor is added, probably just enough to retain the readers from climbing on the nearest roof and jumping off. Though I usually dislike the classical endings, here it is done with style and actually makes sense, seeing the nineteen of twenty chapters leading up unto it.

The only thing that bothered me a little at the beginning was the art as it looked somewhat, well, unfinished, but in the end a little bit of sketchiness seems to be very adhering to the characters and scenes.

In short - read it if you can take some amount of realism and the fact that the storyline might not be particularly happy or the characters perfect does not make you run away screaming.

First impressions...

I've only read a couple of chapters, and I've decided to give it a whole volume to entice me, but so far it's very.... dull?
I don't quite understand why I don't particularly care about the main two of this shoujo, when I am usually such a victim for cutesy live-in-lovers. There seems a substance lacking to their relationship, and it develops too slowly. She finds out his feelings and six months later... nothing? Seriously girl.

Love it!

It kinda reminds me of Dengeki Daisy you know? The same darkness the male characters are in - the idea of salvation, the romance etc. Not saying it's a rip off or anything - I just think they're both excellent stories that have similarities~

I love it all, the slow passionate (but not passionate in an obvious way?) romance, the imagery of flowers. One thing is the ending though - I kinda wish we knew more about Iori and Kei - what happened? Or was it just falling in love? And a bit more about Kei/Chouko's past woven into the story better :3 Maybe I should re-read it. A little angsty in the middle with Kei's past but that's easily contrasted with flowers. I really do recommend this!

There was a lot of depth to this manga. The art was pretty good. As the reader gets closer to the end of the series things start getting a little boring.

Slow

The story is slow and guess because it was serialised, they had to repeat the main story in every chapter but it got a bit too much. Also felt there were a few other earlier parts repeated, like in later chapters. I've only got vol 1 at the moment so I hope there are more interesting happenings in vol 2.

The plot is so Sweet.....innocent and Beautiful! There's also humour in the story and the main characters are so lovable! I adore how the mangaka make a plot where it doesn't involve "EVERYDAY" life of the main characters, instead..the plot revolves some significant things that happened in their life! (I love the time skips in between thefirst two chapters)

I wonder how their relationship will progress from now on. (Definitely looking forward to reading the future releases!)
