i am the girl who enjoy this exact type of shoujo so i'm really loving it, i may give a try to the other works of this artist.
the point that i didn't like (i gave it a 9 and not a 10) is there is a big cliché that i don't like : young girl fell in love with older close guy friend who could be her brother then we'll discover that old guy has potential secret feelings for sister-like neighbour.
But still i like the art, i love that the guy isn't a handsome 2 meter tall playboy guy but the regular nice guy.
I like the setting also : there is no rich meanie egoist rival but only this lonely girl. I really want to see how this will end.

I really like this manga, but the thing that troubles me the most is the fact that it always ends on a slight cliffhanger that makes you want to know what happens next!
The art is also really good; as expected by Nanba-sensei.

Right now, I think Asou Yuiko really is in love with both Kumegawa (the coach) and Kyousuke.
Kumegawa isn't fully giving her the emotional side of their relationship, she then seeks this in Kyousuke who is gentle, caring, and has a proper understanding about romantic relationships.

It was honestly a rough beginning, very, should I say, shoujo-like. But it grows on you and it ends in a unique way. Not just in who she ends up with, but her interactions with other members of her family and fellow students. She's not some loner who makes friends throughout the manga. She already has friends and they support her. And though it is not free of drama, the bulk of it is centered around the main characters and not other random students in the school trying to create trouble.
Enjoyable read and would recommend to any shoujo fan.

Every character got what it deserved.
A very good story, like the heroine a lot. Not your typical crybaby shoujo manga character.

Not in the mood for an in depth thingy but there's two things that still bug me:
1. Keisuke, Kyou's younger brother, started off as a precocious, savvy and pretty cool kid. He kinda understood what was going on with his brother and Nina, just wasn't that interested. He also felt uncomfortably with publicly displaying affection, at least for Nina.
He soon becomes much less precocious. In fact, he becomes a total child, being the kinda cliche cute little boy.

When Nina explicitly asked Kyou out and yet he later says (pretty far down the track) that Nina only sees him as a sibling...That makes no sense. Even if you ignore the second instance where Nina actually kissed him. I took the first rejection as him thinking he has somehow mistaken what Nina meant and the second (with the kiss) as him rejecting her because he already hag a girlfriend, though he now knew how Nina felt. But then he later says she sees him as brother? Nah, makes no sense.
I usually reserve my 10's for a story I truly love. This happens to be a 9.8 but close enough! If you like steady paced shoujo stories then this is for you. This would have been an 11 but The main lead Nina was way to whinny at the start. Don't worry, either she grows on you or the stops being so damn needy... not sure which one it was. All I know I spent my whole afternoon reading this. The Ending is fair and not completely rushed as so many other's are. Makes you want more once you get to the end, there are 2 extra chapters which tie up a lot of thoughts. The characters are well liked, cute, and not one dimensional. Once again, give Nina about 5 chapters to let her grow up. Bottom line, if you are looking for a good read, then this is for you.
OMG! OMG!! I really love it.. I cried a lot too.. At first I really don't want to know who she's gonna end up with coz I like the 2 guys.. I like Nina too.. She doesn't irritate me like other manga's character..
I love this manga! The story was great from the very beginning! I love Nina as a character, who developed and became more emotionally mature over time. I liked Kyou-chan at first but.. ughhh I really started hating/getting irritated at him and Asou... Yeah I know, it did start out as the typical shoujo manga with the childhood friend love interest and some two-faced antagonist but...
Kind of wish the manga had a little bit more of their relationship at the end... but I can't be too greedy, since the couple I preferred did end up together!!!
Anyways, I recommend people to read Tonari no Atashi! It made me feel happy, angry and made me cry (in sadness and happiness) throughout the whole time I read it! Overall, a very emotional and enjoyable manga!

FINALLY, a story that ends up with the second love interest!!! I AM SO HAPPY NINA ENDED UP WITH MIYAKE!!! Although I really loved this story, around chapter 28... I also began to start dreading reading it because I was soo afraid Nina was going to end up staying with Kyou-chan when he was sick and screwing up her relationship with Miyake-kun (which did happen...) BUT luckily, the manga ends with her just staying childhood friends with Kyou-chan and dating Miyake-kun!!!

This manga has the cutest plotline and characters.
In the very beginning, I thought that this manga would be so cliché. The main girl character falls in love with her neighbor but gets rejected. I was like omg then the girl will be determined to win his heart and go through all these hardships and etc and at the end, the guy will realize her feelings and fall in love and yea ..... For that reason, i was planning to drop the manga. I hate such sappy plots
But as a read further on, the plot turns into something that I completely didn't expect
I almost cried my eyes out
read the manga so that u can read my comment ^
The plot was perfect. Im sure that it you will be satisfied when you finish the manga. The romance was too adorable ^^
One of the best mangas i've ever read
+ the drawing is cute :3

miyake came and im like OMFG HE'S SO CUTEE. i kinda fell in love with him :3 He was perfect for Nina. You can totally see how they are so similar. They would do anything for their unrequited love. Once they started dating, they were both soo cutee XDXD seeing them blush together was ADORABLE omg i couldn't stop gagging. Their relationship was perfect and tooo CUTE. At that time, I felt rlly depressed cuz i was like 'Kyou and Nina r for sure going to get together cuz Kyou started realizing his feelings and he was going to confess.
BUT AT THE END, NINA FINALLY REALIZED HOW MIYAKE IS WAY MORE WORTH IT THAN KYOU
that's wat u get Kyou, for being such a jerk, dating this random girl and constantly hurting Nina. You should be forever along ;P
Well I guess the ending was perfect. Not just cuz she kinda fixed her FRIENDSHIP with Kyou, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHE GOT TOGETHER WITH MIYAKE

I'm glad the mangaka doesn't make her manga 20+ volumes but the ending seems open.I do prefer Miyake-Nina couple though,they're good kids,always consider the other's feeling before their own,despite of being hurt themselves .I would seriously cry my eyes out if they won't end up together T_T
But I have a feeling there'll be a continuation of the manga since Kyou still has a strong feeling for Nina,not to mention the fact they're neighbour,both go to the same school...
