this story has a little bit of love and hate at the same time.. though they manage to express what they feel in the long run, but it's kinda annoys me sometimes when the heroine is indecisive.. but nonetheless the story was good, the plot was constructed with sturdy backbone.. i'm glad things end up the way i want it..

Too much drama, too much annoying selfish stupid characters, too ideal main boy (pretty, genius, sporty, caring, loving, brave, etc). The main girl is your typical damsel in distress, who from a proud strong and determined girl from the vol1 gradually became a wimpy wreck, somehow feeling guilty for what she should not.

I thought the plot was great - keeping up the suspense, dealing with psychological traumas etc, a gripping read. I mostly enjoyed it though it could get a little boring in places.
When it introduced the tension with the character Yukari, and then got into the whole fire business it started to get a little tedious.
Another thing was that all of the characters just came across as a little stupid and selfish which got on my nerves.
And what was up with the ambulance scene at the very end?
It kept me reading all the way till the end so it was definitely a good read, but not a great one.

I read the first vol. of this manga and I thought that this manga was really unique..but the maturity level of this manga was really josei or watever...the thing I can't stand the most is any form of sexual abuse and the first vol. had plenty of it...and the other thing was that this manga was dropped supposedly in Japan so I didn't want to read an unfinished series...grrr...I really hate those >:[

i just finished reading off whats translated so far and i gotta say its fantastic, its like what i read in a review (i think it was here) that its more like a Josei rather than a shojou.. and i gotta say i agree with them.

Its got a good pace and it hasent got any typical shojou tendancies (although i hope they stick to the whole main girl x main guy tendancy in there) all the characters are fantastic including the main girl herself and that glasses boy to (forgot his name) he is such a sweet heart... Tokio to... and Masamune just rocks as well XDDD (gotta love the joke in chapter one.)

Anyways i totally reccomend this to anybody who has a civil mind.

Also.. i hope things go well for Tokio in the end...

i really like the flow of the story and also the characters except for hashiba which is too much of a goody-goody the longer i read the bigger became my affection for tokio...poor guy. i hope the series will be continued soon *o*

I don't know what it is about Japan and oh, surprise! its ok they aren't "really" blood related incest, but that shit is everywhere. You have Oriemo, Usagi Drop, and now this where it has the main character happy in a healthy relationship and then they have to force the romance so they can break up with a good person to bang family members.

Also this shit is waaaay overdramatic.

The storyline was pretty awsome for the first 5 volumes (where I stoped). The only draw back was the character w/ the glasses getting in the way of the a romance that could have or will be produced (idk didn't finish reading all vol.) I'm hoping that the brother will get the girl

I really like this series, it is very interesting and at time can be very sad. The biggest draw back for most people is how twisted the plot is; but if you can handle that you will love it

I do like the story and the characters a lot! Except Midori... I know she's been through a lot, but I find her personality definitely annoying! ;( Poor Hashiba-chan! xD
