really love this manga, just like HYD. Rei reminded me of Rui in appearance, and Kouichi - of Rui's characters. Hope the new releases are coming soon.
I absolutely loved it.. And I think it teaches a great lesson about succeeding in life, and standing up when all your dreams have crushed.. However I would deeply disagree about this being a slice of life type of manga.. I mean yes, it's great that everything works out for Keito, but it's not very realistic (which was probably what I liked most since reality sucks)..
it just doesn't happen..
but besides that tiny detail, I think this is one of my favorite mangas.. Highly recommend it!
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Nowadays, people would have gotten married to the soccer player instead of the computer geek, and nobody would spend their entire fortunes in the high school they attended.. even if it was being demolished.. Don't mistake me, however! I think the fact that Kouichi spent all his money for this cause makes me like the story even more
but let's face it, it's not something that would happen in real life and even less, nowadays.. And furthermore, yes Keito dropped out of the acting bussiness.. but nobody in their right mind would lock themselves up for 7 years.. It's more likely that they would reach towards drugs and disaster.. but not locking yourself up in elementary school without having your parents do anything about it and then miraculously recover.. it just doesn't happen..
but besides that tiny detail, I think this is one of my favorite mangas.. Highly recommend it!
I see people saying "It's no HYD, but it's good", but I honestly prefer Cat Street. Cat Street deals with a girl who can't get ant lower in the social department, and it's really easy to understand her for the most part.
I fell in love with this manga from the start. It's a must read and an instant classic!

People in her situation would either lock themselves up in their room until they were sure nobody could recognize them, or go out and face the world with more determination, but the character did exactally what kind of thing somebody with her personality would do, and she evolves for the better, though not past the realistic point, which is what makes it the great manga it is!

I tried so hard to really like this series. But it seems to be missing something for me a certain spark. The characters all seem to be kind of flat and plain sort of lifeless. Also, the main plot is lacking in my opinion. I found myself not caring what happens to none of these characters; thus, it became boring to me.
The only good thing I can say about Cat Street is the artwork is better compared to Hana yori dango. But, plot wise I'd say Kamio Youko other work HYD is way better.

Great follow up work to Hana Yori Dango. It's a shame it ended only after 4 volumes.
It started good, then it went cliche towards the end. Although I like Keito's positive attitude when she failed in her audition because she can't read kanji, it hurts to read the parts when she's generally alright with things, like the misdeed of Natsumi. While I like time progression and time skips, the romance lacks the tensions. Suddenly it was presented they love each other that much. While there where hints, the storytelling and illustrations fell short in invoking the characters' romantic feelings. Though, I have to commend the character designs and clothing fashion in term of the arts.
Perhaps, I might have enjoyed and rated this manga higher if I read this prior to reading the works of GEORGE Asakura, ASHIHARA Hinako, and IKUEMI Ryou.

Good manga, worth reading. Started off amazing, loved the characters. It went downhill at some point near the end and characters began acting out of character; that really pissed me off. Ending sucked. It went from being real and down-to-earth, to sappy, fakeness. Really sloppy work there.

I'm sorry guys... Hana Yori Dango was too dragged out and encumbered and absolutely unrealistic. Countless characters were introduced, very few of which played a lasting role to the story. It was too episodic at times with a thin overarching story. After a few of these episodes, you could already tell which way the ending was headed.
Cat Street was quite the opposite and on top of that, conveyed a great message. There are a lot of people who have lost their path in life; if only a school like El Liston could exist to bring them back on track.
Sort of gives away some of the story:

On top of that, I did not expect that twist. Really, I figured it would be like any other sort of generic shoujo, where you could tell who the final couple would be, just drearily waiting till they finally get together. I'm very thankful it's not like that, and that is one of the prime reasons I give this a 10.

A really good story! A very solid A from me. Another person complain about how it kinda dry in the middle but not for me. I read it on one sit. From the afternoon to midnight. From chapter 1 straight to chapter 20 (which is the latest release I found). Eventhough I have homework, I just cannot stop reading it. Tensions are well maintained. A very very good story and I really mean it. Totally can relate to many of the stories in here! Highly recommended though art is not according to what I like. Oh by the way, you think Hana Yori Dango is Kamio sensei's masterpiece? You'll think twice
