Waaaa~
Loved it, very light-hearted and comedic, but it also had its deep dramatic moments. I have to admit it bored me a bit at times, but towards the last half of the story it got so much better. There are very unique and special characters, and each and everyone of them develop greatly, there is a huge amount of development in the characters and their relationships. AT times this manga is really touching, it stresses the simple importance of just being together and living life, as happily as you can. The last few chapters were great, especially the scene in Chapter 61. And in 62, the mini-personalities were LOL XD
Looking forward to Kojima Arika's next work, Manabiya!

A great read thats definitely worth your time. Lots of interesting points to consider, lacked a little on emotional settings but did a fantastic job of really getting the story out.
Just finished Mahoraba vol 12 and so the story ends. Must say that this is one of the best Romance/Comedy Mangas i have ever read. From the start and until the end it fills the heart with happy feelings. An ending cant get much better than this.
You cannot stop this story after you start to read it, Watch the anime adaptation years ago and always hold the manga and forgot it for long time, then searching for some good slice of life I read the name again god I cannot say how good was read this story and how much more amazing is the manga over the anime which is not bad but too different, this a series where you find calm and serenity together with some amazing jokes and heart touching moments. Specially all the characters are really good develop and with great connection between the MC´s
I really liked this manga; At first, its a bit slow, and its humor is okay. But later on, this manga really picks up- Theres a lot of character development (especially Kozue's personalities), and its really funny. Also, the ending is great(not the last chapter, but the chapters leading up to it).
Btw, the anime is awesome too, although i hated the ending because it was so different from the manga.

One of the few manga that really uplift my spirits! I wished the series was longer and some common shojo-themed parts were expected but the art, the story and the characters fit in well enough to cover them up. Love it, definitely recommended to readers who like light shojo and a bit of happiness ^^
really uplifting, with an a-grade feel good factor. like reading a ghibli movie. all the right ingrdients. extremely likeable characters, with well developed back stories (even johnny get one!!), a full and deep plot, romance, trials, and prevaling against adversity, and a extremely satisfying conclusion. major thumbs up. small advice though, get out the tissue. even as a bloke, some bits were a bit eye liquid producing.
Anime is good, but doesn't do justice to the manga's depth. The characters in the manga mature fantastically, and the build-up to the end is great too. I'd like to see more works from Kojima Akira.

I never really liked romance manga, but this story is surprisingly refreshing.
And it's realllyyy funny, which is the main criteria for any manga that I read.
And I mean REALLYYY FUNNYYYY

This is one of those mangas which is somewhat more than it appears at first. It has a cute set of characters (beautifully drawn) and is overall a 'slice of life' manga, with a good dose of gentle humour, but it also has some dark and interesting undertones. Recommended.
