What can I say when it all has been said. There is no disappointment in this series. I tried it because the overwhelming majority liked it and for good cause. The combination of story and characters is definitely not to be missed.

i just wuvs kyoko ..~~!! wee.... i like her... though she's the idiot type in the first chapter she's actually not the typical shoujo heroine the world is flooded with. she's cool and just look at her determination (though her goal is not that good) you wouldn't getbored with her type of character... she's quite the unique type.. wee.. i luv her..

Seriously, one of the best shoujo out there. The main character girl is strong, smart, funny, and NOT A BRAINLESS LOVE OBSESSED IDIOT! OMG! I adore the sense of humor here, the guys are incredibly hawt and there are so many sweet moments. And as the series goes on, it just keeps getting better and better! (Okay, there are a couple of story arcs here and there that aren't as good / drag on a little, but they're few and far between).

I love this manga! The art is very detailed but sometimes it bugs me how tall they all are. I love all the volume 14 chapters!!! I love the kyoko and sho pairing! (spoiler) It was a great scene when Sho saves kyoko from that vie ghoul guy. I was really mad when Ren stopped Sho just as he was about to tell kyoko that he loved her!! It is so great how kyoko at first when she finds out about sho, because in a lot of manga I think she would try to get him back. I also think how the characters fall in love is realistic. This is a great manga!!

Absolutely great manga!

I really really love this series, even though I neither liked the drawing style nor the main character in the beginning. I have to say the first chapters of the manga were hard to endure for me: Kyoko seemed to be noisy, stupid and really not a character I tend to like and so did Sho. But after the first chapters the manga really got me and I'm awesomely happy I didn't stop at the start. Since English isn't my first language (please excuse my errors ^.^' ) plus I'm reading slowly in general (gotta get every single detail out of it ;-) ), and I couldn't read through the day - had to go to school. ;-) it took me more than one nearly-all nighter (I still slept about two hours)
And since then i've reread the series about 3 or 4 times.
It's true the anatomy especially of the male characters isn't good at all and the drawing style is still very special, but the mangaka is able to always, and I mean really always, express the feelings and motions of the characters perfectly. The humor of the series is layered, to the obvious and exaggerated comical sitiuations, mostly regarding the little Kyoko demons, comes a more subtle and deeper humor that helps defining the personalities of the characters - like when the president of LME puts an all nighter to play that love simulation video game - and makes them, if not realistic (I'm really not sure if there's a guy like Takerada Lory in the world - would be funny though) at least utterly lovable. In my opinion it's these little things, that makes the manga so addictive. If you look at it objectively the storyline of the manga follows quite a lot the usual shojo pattern, but still you never know what exactly will happen in the next chapter. Nakamura-san is able to put a surprising twist in the story even if you're sure you know what will happen next. Also impressive is how she handles the underlying tragic of characters like Kyoko, Kuon (Ren) and Maria. The mangaka uncovers these things bit by bit without letting that tragic overflow her characters using these bits and pieces of the past to intensify the characters in there realism by showing how they deal with their pain. This gives the manga depth and complexity without losing the light feeling the comedy builds up.
This manga is definitely one of my favourites and looking forward to the next chapters I recommend this manga to everyone who is not satisfied with pure fluffy romance or headless action!

Like lija-chan, I also put an all-nighter just to read this manga and it is really worth it. During the start of this manga, I thought that it was boring and the art is somewhat not that great but as the story progresses, I really got addicted to it and I realized how hot Tsuruga-san is. I like the fact that it does not focus on the romance alone, it focuses more on the development of the characters individually. It also is very funny! I love the times the devils of kyoko attacks someone, I think it's really cute and funny. A must read manga!

I gotta say the beginning was really good i actually got addicted because it felt unique and it made me laugh but then when it went to volume 13 the story starts to drag and i started thinking what happen to the great flow of the manga? I'll just re-read it again when the scanlators/mangaka finish this but now no.
