This manga surprised me! It was different and it wasn't cliche or shallow at all which for me was a breath of fresh air. Two things i really loved about this manga is the character development and the pace of it all. I really loved how each character overcame a huge obstacle that allowed them to break out of their shells and comfort zone. They grew stronger together and learned from each other. I have no idea why people don't like the main character because she's quite strong! She's never been a whiny, quiet, submissive character at all! Anyway.. the pacing of the manga was amazing. Nothing was rushed or too slow, it all had great timing and the pace of it all (hope this makes sense) was perfect. The art was beautiful too but I really loved how the mangaka was able to show us each character's world and how different they all were. The world of a painter who's time has stopped and the world of a teenager who's realized how much time has passed, struggling to find herself. Both characters breaking out of their worlds, joining reality together. It's beautiful, it's a slice of life and very much worth the read.

This was really quite beautiful for me I loved how much each of the characters grew and how she wasn't too sterotypical and what not.. Kinda gave me a similar feel to Nana..(surprisingly). But not nearly as 'dark' I guess or sex filled. Haha :3 I love the art and the plot was good I think I'm going to go read the light novel .. Anyways it was enjoyable <3

Wow, this manga just blew me away... I normally don't review mangas unless it was uber horrible or brilliant and non-cliched..... This manga just totally exceeded my expectations and I had no idea it was going to turn out like this. It may seem like a simple and normal manga at first, but you just keep turning the pages and become so immersed into it... It has that magic that seduces you and you don't even realise you're up to the last chapter! I finished it in one go. And that's SUPER rare. I always fall asleep but it's currently 3:52am and I have managed to stay up just to finish this beautiful manga. Totally recommended. Don't get put off by the prostitution tag because there is none lol.

Also, I don't know what the other people are saying about the heroine... She isn't typical at all. Her character development was amazing. Her willpower and strength was so admirable (not physically, I'm talking about emotionally etc.) I actually really like her character and that is so rare because I hate almost every shoujo heroine that exists LOL

Ah well, it's that kind of manga you read when u see that the next chapter is out and u feel like "yeah, well, only around 30 pages, so i'll read it" but u'd never read it all in 1 go, and u'd be skipping lots of pages...
10 for art... but I guess this genre just isn't my thing

Just one of those clichéd shoujos with a heroine that is supposedly strong, yet has a weakness for HIM. Not bad, but if you're looking for something special, you've come to the wrong place. But hey, if you're willing, give it a try. Besides, the art is pretty good

There are so many great things about this manga, but I especially love the characters. Especially the main character; she's just so hilarious. And not in a stupid-shoujo-lead way, but in a... this girl is so realistic and sarcastic that I want to be her best friend. But yeah. It's great.

Edit: So, the ending chapters are kind of a let down, but Kizuna's still an awesome heroine. If nothing else, this story gets 8/10 from me because of her (and Yuki, why not more Yuki?).

It's enjoyable & reccomanded for the shoujo fans out there. The art, is also good. The plot is detailed. And the lead female isn't all pushy and cowardly. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next chapter!

This really is a great manga! Gorgeous art and plot! I love the plot. I love how I am pretty certain about how it is going to end, but, at the same time, I HAVE NO IDEA. The writer has an idea in their head and I cannot follow. It's nice sometimes to be taken for a drive and have no clue what road the driver's taking. It's all about the journey!

Love this manga,the art is absolutely amazing,but not only the art,the story is also very good.Time stops for me as i read this manga,there's something really calm and beautiful comes out of each character...
10+ for all

I was so happy that I stopped to read this one. It's storyline is unique but not farfetched, deep enough to actually stretch across a few volumes. The art is beautifully drawn and it's funny too. It's only been 10 chapters, but I highly recommend this manga! I guarantee that it's not like other shoujo out there.
