I thought this manga was incredibly good. The romantic development was pretty good and I really loved the Izumi and Fuwa relationship. I enjoyed their affection and the theme that Love is not is not hindered by AGE! It also didn't drag on like some other romances and was always filled with some entertaining rising action.

Good story, interesting characters. I think the best are its characters, even though all the characters are "good people". Through the manga the story loses focus at times.

Cute story but this was one where I wished the story was shorter. At times, the characters grated on my nerves but not enough to keep me from finishing the story.

I'll recommend this as a light read, just keep an open mind, don't look too much for H(there is no raping or any anything of this sort, don't listen to small minded people) and read this nice manga light headed

Started with great momentum when introducing a very likeable cast, and lighthearted gags. As the manga moves forward however, it loses its novelty. Things really spiraled downwards after the realization of their relationship, when the author seemed to have ran out of ideas and started inserting random filler one-shot-characters with very shallow backdrops. It was so poorly orchestrated that it seemed like the author merely wanted to stretch a thin plot. The art goes downhill as well, having almost NO memorable scenes in the latter half and most of the dialogue lacked impact, even on the supposedly emotionally-high-strung scenes. The events seemed to be lost through the pages, leaving one to think "did I miss a page?" Very unnatural and disjointed.

If light hearted romatic comedy is for you, I would suggest you read the first few volumes, but stop after the economic bubble and leave the rest to your own imagination.

The art is perfectly suited for conveying the often very witty comedy in this series. Lovely character designs, facial expressions and page layout also help out this often quite implausible manga.

Some arcs are undeniably better than others, which is a shame. Even so, I enjoyed it.

I'd imagine this is a manga that would be appreciated more by people who don't generally go for romance manga than shounen, otaku or shoujo romance buffs.

Seinin is quite different with shounen, it's more realistic in its approach so it might shock others who are more used to shounen...This one is kind of light, sweet, and more accurate in what happens in real life, kind of an eye opener for me(it really has a similarity with my life)..It has some dragging moments, and i think it could have ended sooner than 10 volumes..But its good enough that i finished it without reading another title as a filler...and it also has some touching moments and a more mature mood...

I love this one, Great characters (you really will like them) and they'll stay in your mind for a really long time after you finished this, I recommend this to evey one.

great amng i thoroughly enjoyed it the art, story angd the charcters were just great its full of romance and no crying 24/7 meaning a;; the time lke in other romantic mangas

The manga started had a middle and an end, thats is it, didn't get caught in it and most of the time I just read it because I hadn't anything else to read. Wouldn't say it is boring but everything except the economystuff is just so replaceable
