Typical shoujo, as everyone else has been saying. Nothing really new here, and the main character is kind of annoying, but it's cute, it's not plotless, and the art is really pretty.

And, having just finished chapter 12, I am a little curious as to where it will go from here. It kind of feels like a 'the end' already, but we've still got almost two whole volumes left to go. Maybe it'll get more interesting as things progress.

[EDIT] ...No, it didn't get more interesting. The just took the typical shoujo route - no originality at all, and totally predictable as to where it'll go from here.
At this point, I'm reading this just so I can say I finished it. But I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Entirely too cliche and generally boring - and I don't really like, well, any of the characters at this point. Definitely pass this up :/

i have just read the first chapter, and my head is one side, going wtf?
whats with this girl? she has love problems, she got into this new guy, in a few pgs!
WTH!
its just weird...................the way that she overact for everything! like how the guy pushed her to the wall, and he didn't really do anything to her, and yet she spents the next pgs ignoring and thinking that hes a bad person.
i get the feeling that the author, knew and was very excited about some parts in the story, but for it to make sense he needs to fast forward the first parts, which is rather RIDICULOUS!
the drawing how ever is great~
it is by AIKAWA Saki

When I first started reading this, I was still 12 or 13. It completely appealed to me (so did all the other mangas this mangaka did) but now, to be honest, it's kind of bad.
Cliches everywhere. I hate how they get together so fast.
She's boring. He's boring. The end.
Art is good I guess. I used to worship the art that Aikawa Saki does but now, it's just overly shoujo for me. All her characters look the same, that's what I'm saying.
If you want an interesting story, this is not the manga for you.

At first I really enjoyed this manga, but after reading the latest chapters it's getting stupid. I hate the female characters who try to sabotage her ex's relationship using cheap and dirty tricks. I don't like heroines who are full of mistrust and suspicion, and can't even stand up for herself. I hate male leads who refuse to explain things in detail so that they won't be misunderstood. Is it that hard to say that you heard your ex-girlfriend was abducted so you went to save her? And if your girlfriend got mad at you for that, she can find someone else if she gets jealous over you being a good enough person to save someone from being held hostage. And the heroine keeps fluctuating between two guys. Make your freaking decision. Don't be a hussy.

In short, the recent chapters really pissed me off and it sucked big time. I didn't even realize how bad this manga was until now. None of the characters are likeable at all, and the plot is way overused. I would not recommend this manga at all!

I'm sorry, but what exactly is good about this manga? The style is the almost exact same style you see in most shoujo/romance/school-life manga. There aren't many details and the art isn't proportional all the time. And the characters don't have good expressions. Erase the eyebrows and their faces look the same when angry, sad, happy, etc. No offence, there's really nothing special about the art. I don't even want to talk about the plot; it's just reused archetypes that are present in almost every single shoujo manga. If the readers already know the outcome of the story [it is obvious who Hotaru will end up with], the mangaka should do something to keep her readers's attention.

Anyone can draw well, but not everyone can make a good plot that can attract and keep readers. I will give this manga a little more time and give it a rating after I read a bit more. If it's this popular, there's a reason for it, right...?

It started so well but then it just went downhill. The male lead was the best at the begginig, he wasn't like most shoujo male MC that treat the girl like trash... but then, before I realised it, he was already the most annoying of them ALL, to the point I wanted the girl to break up with him and date the aniki/sensei instead, THAT was a good guy and he was WASTED.

I wonder why mangaka's always have characters like this. Maybe to show the guys strengths? To zoom in on them by making the heroine flawed?

When you think about it, it's easier that way.

Stupid girl with weak resolve + strong minded guy with strong resolve is possibly the easiest route in shoujo manga, and while its good for one shots, it doesn't really work for ongoing shoujo's.

Kinnda how after you laugh at something funny the first time, its not really funny anymore the 5th time.

The heroines flaws are shoved in your face every single chapter, while the main guy's strengths are thrown in to cover them. That's exactly what every cliche shoujo is with characters of this type. I quit after the classic (CLICHE CLICHE CLICHE) dumbass rapid fan girls showed up.

I saw the art of the cover and was happy to find such bishie art. But then you read the story. Too fast paced. The characters are bland. The main character has no personality. NO ORIGINALITY WHAT SO EVER. No comedy, no doki doki moments, no smut, it lacks EVERYTHING. It's like a twelve year old with the hand of god decided to make a manga. Yes, the art is good. Proportional etc. BUT THE STORY IS SH*T. (Lol, am I allowed to cuss on here?)

When I read this manga, I almost immediately hated the main character. She likes a guy, but gets clingy with his brother. She a needy, whiny, spoiled, brat of a character. If she was in grade school her actions and attitudes might make sense. But for a high school student, its like she hasn't grown up. She acts like a kid. One of the 2 main male characters is also annoying. Haruna Sensei half the time looks like a girl.

Having said this though, the story does improve. Yes its back and forth with the girl unable to make up her mind, but it seems to mature as the story goes along. Going from a grade school story to a high school story. I don't rate it well, because the beginning is so painful, but I might change my mind when the story is finally complete.

This is the most retarded BS I've ever read in my life. ~_~;

Honestly, stick to one guy. =/ First she gets on clingy with the sensei, then with the black haired dude, then the sensei AGAIN, and the black haired dude again...

AHH, SHE'S DRIVING ME INSANE.

-ONE- guy please.

3 volumes and somehow this pathetic reason of a "love triangle" (or square, in a way, though I dont count it as a square because her friend is so minor of a character she doesn't matter) is still ongoing. IS IT NOT OBVIOUS ALREADY? GET ... TO ... THE ... POINT ...

Anywho, I am kind of rooting for the teacher dude (even if we all know it's not gonna happen). The black haired guy can honestly go off himself, he pisses me off.
