Description
Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants to "reset" her image and life as a new high-school student. Because she's cute and had a demure personality she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and because of a series of misunderstandings and mishaps, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one boy she has always liked, Tanaka Kou.

Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but that they cannot go back. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that never even started from three years ago?

First, the art is fantastic and it perfectly suits the innocent shoujo/ drama style of manga. But i also love the plot itself! the characters have that sweet 'shy love' thing that everyone adores- but they also have lives outside the romance. And their lives are so REAL! Everyone can relate to Futaba's struggle to hide her real self just so she can avoid loneliness. And the troubles in Tanaka-kun's life that are starting to be hinted at seem to have great potential. Plus, I love how Sakisaka Io doesn't let the plot fall into the well beaten tracks of shoujo cliches but keeps the character's reactions realistic
Spoiler (highlight to view)
Like in ch1 when the two confess that they once liked each other, but instead of instantly starting to date like in most shoujos, Tanaka quickly points out that those feelings are old and hardly relate to the people that they are now
. It's a great manga, cute, funny and most importantly real...

I love this manga though until now only up to two chapters. But, this is not like the typical others manga. This telling about a sensitive things, and sometimes I can feel what the main character feel, maybe because this happen to me too biggrin . Not only about romance (maybe) but friendship also, I love this manga that remind me with kimi ni todoke. One of shoujo manga what can make me touched. I can say I love Sakisaka Io, because I love Strobe edge and this: Ao Haru Ride.

Great read! Very recomended for shoujo manga's lovers. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Once again this manga has a great vibe just like Strobe Edge. It feels so right when I read it - I feel like I can really understand what the characters are feeling. At the same time, I think I can relate to the heroine a bit with her personality. She reminds me of myself in many ways bigrazz. So far I'm impressed and totally hooked. Can't wait for the next chapter!

For you who had been through teenage years must know what this manga is all about. It's all about fitting in, inability to say what you feel to your crush and finding true friends. So far, only two chapters but there's so much to expect from this manga

It's not your typical shoujo. I agree with RaeBabeeyx3, it's hard to rate it from just one chapter but I'll give it a 10 bigrazz ... That's how good it was (well for me). The main characters were pretty interesting and has depth to their personalities. I also like the story, I think it's well developed and hopefully it will stay on the right path for the next chapters. As I read it, I got dragged on with the emotions in the story and the characters. It was pretty much like when you got connected with the flow (I mean when sometimes when reading other manga or watching an anime, you just feel like crying or something ^^ don't know how to explain it)...it's like that...

anyway, GREAT READ!!!

I can't rate it from just one chapter, but it's really good to far. The shoujo actually deals with some issues about how she stands out and that some friends betray her because of how she's pretty blah blah etc.. It also focuses on how she tries to change what she is(she doesn't like herself) and how she also empathises people that are similar to her(most likely characters that will become important later on), but she doesn't do anything like befriend them as she doesn't want to remind herself of the trauma from when she was ignored by everyone and became an outcast. So yeah, not those typical shoujo heroine problems. The male lead is actually interesting in my opinion. They were in love back then, but now things are different.
Spoiler (highlight to view)
his parents divorced, he changed surnames, theres this sensei that looks like him but with his old "tanaka" surname and the past will reveal itself in the future chapters.

Pretty much, everything wasn't the same as back then and the girl only got to tell him now that they were in love, but like i said, its not the same. So, the guy is actually kinda cold and he keeps saying that he's changed and blah blah and even called her foolish for being used by friends(yep, he saw right through it). I hope to see lots of character development in the future. But, I love cold guys, so I love this series. Not to mention the heroine is a bishoujo. =Hawt guy with pretty chick =WIN. HAHA. I am also interested to see how the other characters that are being ignored somehow come together with the heroine. ^^ HOWEVER, the guy re-falling in love with the girl is gonna be veeeeeery interesting. =RECOMMENDED.
