The fifth one made me cry so much. I don't know if its because I just woke up but there was no reason for me to be crying as hard as I did at that story lol. The first story is the best like everyone has said so don't have really high expectations for the other ones or you will just be disappointed.
Story 1 hurt me... but it's true... i love story 5, so cute made up all i suffered, this is nice you should read it, just the first is bittersweet but has a nice ending. shows how people in love act and do some foolish things (oh memories...) =)
Probably it would be possible to find at least three if not four of these scenarios in any soup opera, or shoujo manga, for a second I though the last chapter will be about girl faling down the stairs and losing her memory.
The stories themselves are well writen (although absolutly not original or touching), the art is also good with some pages that look really well.
What also must be said is that THEY ARE NOT BITTER, bitter love stories would be something tragic, something that really bring out the pain of love. They could be could called sad, maybe, but that's about it.
So in short - for girls who cry easily.

The fact that they all had predictably positive endings didn't help.

The first oneshot (butterfly cloud) was tear-jerking and made an impression. Race Queen was thought provoking. And the third one just made me cry. I hate it when two people in love have to split up. >.<
The last three one-shots were cutesy and the typical shoujo. It made me giggle a bit and was heart warming.

Well, I liked the first story anyhow. It left me sad, and in a depressing mood for hours after reading it (maybe I'm easily influenced?). The other ones were cutesy, and I didn't get into as much.
I suggest everyone read at least the first story, its very much worth it.

This manga wasn't very sad for me and most of the stories I couldn't really get into...*sigh and it took me so long to find it too...but the best story in this whole anthology was "The Butterfly Clouds" by Ashihara-sensei>.<
I love her works....They're always bittersweet at the endings...

It's quite ironic that his manga states that these "love stories that make one cry". I assume that maybe it is implied in a happy way. Anyways, I found these stories to be very touching and like rabookal said, heartwarming. This manga is a decent read for all of the shoujo fans out there.
I was very disappointed in this. When something is truly sad I will cry buckets, but this did not evoke any such response from me. In fact most of these stories were heartwarming and made me want to giggle!
