This manga is one of the cutest manga I ever read, its really simple and lighthearted, and you cant help but fall in love with the cute little monster, I just wish it was a little bit longer...

From the first chapter i became addicted to this manga !
It's funny and cute , too bad that just have 2 volumes >______-<
Tsuda - sensei could at least made 5 volumes ;____________;

i mean really! they were too cute for words! and im a sucker for he said-she strotytelling styles! gawd i love this! and i really like the style of the mangaka of Kare Kano except that in Kare Kano the drama was really deep so it didnt had the chance to be shallow.. but this one just felt refreshing and i like that the characters have a certain depth in them and they are not just there to be there. i really like the side characters too!!~! haha! i also like the fact that they gotto know each other first and its not love at first sight and all that cheese.. actually felt kindda realistic and they were all likeable but this is just too short! but that actually made it sweeter.. there were all sorts of tension especially on Prince's side but they only hugged in the end.. so cute!!!~! <3 >.<

Ah, this was such a delight to read. It's perfect in length and characterization and art. Tsuda-sensei has developed an interesting style, kind of cinematic maybe...? The way she writes parallel scenes drawn from both characters' perspectives and such, I love that. After spending so many years working on Kare Kano, it feels like she wanted to experiment and see what she could do with a predetermined, structured and much shorter format (the manga takes place over one year, with a chapter for each month). It gives the feeling of an experienced mangaka, writing and drawing what she wants to write and draw, not having to worry about hitting all the usual shoujo-manga plot-points. So that makes it really refreshing amidst all the other manga series that are maybe trying too hard. I'm kind of rambling here but I wanted to get my thoughts sorted out...

Anyway, it's really just nice and sweet and has a refreshing, light feeling. I'd recommend it to anyone!

The main job of shojo manga is to deliver to young girls a fantasy of being truly loved by a young man. And since they are young enough for most of that to be still before most of them in their actual lives, that fictional man might as well be handsome and/or high status. It's more fun that way!

Since most girls are average-looking, making the girl main character average-looking is a good way of making the story draw the readers in. But to make that kind of pairing work, the creator of the story has to understand what kind of characteristics the inevitable "prince", who could have almost any girl, would be attracted to in an average-looking girl. In that, this mangaka has excelled in this manga.

That great insight makes for a very simple, story which is nevertheless memorable because it is fully believable. This manga is an unusual and delightful experience.

PS: It's funny too.

You can tell from the cover that the main character is cute,but not only is she cute, the story in which she's placed is really cute too!
I liked how the author made the story span a year in the characters lives and how the romance progressed slowly within the year.

There should be more shojo like this out there, where the characters use their hearts and their heads and are not so desperate to fall in love that they step all over everyone else.

Like many other manga, the main reason I like this one is surely because it's not interested in drama. It's unafraid to show people that would ordinarily be mean-spirited just because of their extremely good looks or abilities and show them as the good people they can nevertheless be. And the main female lead works off of the opposite of this: She feels that as an otherwise average person she should be perfectly gentle and nice to others, yet at times a little monster inside her comes out to induce her to spit venom about others.

Despite my many words the story really isn't all *that* deep. No. The characters are all pure inside despite whatever impressions they may give, and this is the story of the main couple getting past the surface and falling in love just by being with each other. And that's enough for me. Especially as the fast pace ensures the story never bogs down in anything uninteresting.

Instead, the focus is on showcasing both of the mains' perspectives and thoughts all the time, allowing the reader to really come to understand them and how they came to be together.

I know both have different stories but holy mother of bowls, Nanoha and her friends are like Tohru and her friends! Same feeling, and the princely guy is like Yuki....
What the heck.

Well anyway I quite enjoyed it. Haha.

You know never ever ever trust your gut feelings that a manga would be boring, NEVER! cause most probably you'll be wrong! like me towards this manga! i'm so judgmental, sigh~ Well, i tell you one thing, i was hooked on reading this till the end! <----that's when i eventually decided to read it, yea~ Overall, of course i would say, everything was just nice for me, every aspect, the art, story, emotions, character's personality was all right on the mark!

The beginning was very promising. The monster which preys on our thoughts. Seemed very interesting. But, only a few chapters actually focused on it, and it was only skin deep at that. After that shoujo cliches follow. But it is certainly better than many others. It's hilarity made my day
