Its simple but realy entertaining. I prefer this more then Pastel. Probably becouse the story is kept short and simple. Good characters and the main characters feelings are consistent with his actions. I like that becouse to often you read mangas where characters feelings and actions dont match. I like strong characters to. And the two main characters are strong.

I like the end.

Definetely, nothing special. Too me anyways. Pastel, awesome manga, Parallel, awesome manga, but, the dragging on is okay, as long as something IS happening. I read Parallel first, before reading Pastel to volume 17, and I must say, this was definetly a quick work. Parrallel's character do not really differ all the much from Pastel, and definetely, the fact that she accepts him in the end, is okay, but simply the ending was, boring.

Overall, unfortunately, I would think it only deserves 6.7/10.

Of standards of art, definetely, 10/10. The artwork is quite nice, and enjoyable to read.

Ending, argh, because I've read Love Hina's ending before and Ichigo 100%'s ending, and weren't FULLY satisfied with the end, this ending was definetely fast, and boring. I think only 5/10.

A quick read, took me two nights, but it was enjoyable, as one of those mangas to pass the time.

writing for fun...read it a long time ago...boy like girl, girl suddenly became sister (step-sister, parents not yet married), parents go somewhere, boy-girl stay together in same house, etc...other than that, dun really remember much...

No earth-shattering revolution here, but a nice simple typical story. The short length of this manga is actually a blessing, since the "situations" in this story are dealt with rather swiftly (ie: don't drag on and on...). The character art are of the simple genre and are well done, with obvious emphasis to the female ones.

If you have read the author's other work (Pastel) however, you will notice a lot of recycled stories/situation, which is a shame.

Just got done reading the disappointment of a manga IO and this was absolutely wonderful to work as a pick up. Sincere, honest, and so worth reading. If every manga had this level of quality, ...wow. The plot was simple, but the artwork more than made up for it. I like the restraint the girl showed, that is something you don't see in similar manga. Definitely going to look into Pastel after reading Parallel, I've heard that pastel is even better, I hope that is true. 9/10 I don't rate short manga 10/10, there isn't enough complexity, so 9/10 is the best a short manga can get from me. Brilliant. Definitely read it.

Sevodax, I agree with you about the guy before you.

This manga was not what i was hoping for. It says it's a comedy but really it just keeps a light hearted atmosphere, i don't think i actually laughed once. The actions of the older sister made no sense to me as well. The same with Aihara, after a while. I have a couple of qualms about the female lead's actions too, but to explain them would be to giver spoilers away, and just because I didn't really enjoy this manga doesn't make doing that okay.

In short, i don't think this is the type of manga you should put on your reading list. It's what you'd grab if you were completely bored, and even then you could do tonnes of other things...like sleep.

This manga contains nothing but cliche, but that was what I was looking for. Sometimes authors try to hard to come up with plot twists that are sometimes nonsensical that ruins a good story. But, in this case, the author kept it simple.

The length is just right, and each character is likable. I did not feel that the ending was rushed, and was satisfying.

humm so the same guy who wrote this wrote Pastel, this was pretty good, and i guess the guy who wrote it thought that the story should be expanded, maybe that is why he later wrote Pastel, and makeign it longer.

Story/Plot:-
Average boy meets girl and they somehow end up living together, pretty simple but it works well with the story.

Artwork:-
The artwork is really average, just like this manga and even with poorly drawn male characters at least the girls look good

Final Thoughts:-
This is a decent romantic comedy and even though it's incredibly similar to it's successor Pastel the story never dragged on. Of course being a typical shounen romance it's packed full off cliches but at least the male protagonist character isn't so submissive, it's just the female protagonist that can get quite annoying. ^_^

Short story, touching and sweet.
