It is amazing. The completion of the later arcs is amazing, sad and happy and heart jerking and just nice. The last couple volumes has the main character MUCH less of that sappy romantic comedy guy you see so much of in the beginnign chapters (he actually becomes very different when he realizes his feelings, and you go omg this is such a cool character).
The story is good too. The last couple of chapters explain in vivid detail exactly what happens, and it is gold. The "story" behind it all is pretty interesting, nothing AMAZING ZOMG or anything, but its execution, the way the author does it, is absolutely top tier ability. Mikage/delos's little side story at the end, those last couple pages of his side chapter.... wow.
The first volume can put you off, as well as various other bits of the story where it feels like the story's rehashed or resued. But get to the end, and it is nothing short of amazing.
10 for everything, -1 for all that we sorta have to "trudge" through to get to this good stuff.

The art is amazing, as is the humour. Keipon's complex for Serena is terribly endearing. It's a laugh-every-other-two-minutes kind of manga. Really, there are too many funny moments to mention. Ah, I absolutely loved seeing Serena!Yuuma torture Keipon with his "acting skills".
WARNING: BL-LOVERS, GRIT YOUR TEETH. ARGH. And every time you see Mii, imagine it's Loleus. Hurr. I don't buy any volumes except the ones that have fluffy KeiYuu. Erk. Even though I read a lot of shoujo manga, I just can't stand the final couple.
I haven't finished it (only to 9th, I think?), but I'm hoping that Yuuma will become like... A sit-in-bro or something. A permanent neighbor. Haha~ "I'm home, Mii-anataa~!! Mmm--That smells... (Burnt?)" "Yo. /In frilly apron holding spatula. Mii's sick in bed. By the way, I think there's a fire in the oven. Want some cold fish paste on your hamburgers?"
And then maybe Keidai will be reborn as a girl next time. LOLOLOL.

Interesting series, and I kind of like the idea of it.. but.. it gets old quickly, at least for me. There really doesn't seem to be any way for this to end well, and the drama is a bit over pushed... it isn't natural.
Overall, good start and an interesting concept, but I feel it would have worked much better as a Oneshot or at the most 2-3 volumes.

I swear, I nearly died laughing on this. Considering I usually stay up to finish reading things, it wasn't too awesome when I was rolling around, laughing hysterically, but you know, it was worth it! It's light-hearted, and you can easily tell who he's going to end up with.... but it made me laugh so much every volume. You really want to shake Keidai sometimes, but he's cool other times. It's original, and I like the boy POV. It's just overall, a cute and funny series

This manga is effing hilarious. <333

Keidai ends up with Serizawa, somewhat. And it's no wonder. There are hints of Loreius -->> Syricuse at one of the flashback. loool.
Very cute!

A funny fluffy manga that you can read when you just want something light. An original plot. Keidai is amusing, and although sometimes you feel like smacking him, other times you'd like to squeeze him to death. The introduction of a new character, Serena's "sister", was awesome. Can't wait for a new release. It's too bad the online scans, well, suck.
very original, very funny

I like this manga a lot! The plot's something I've definitely never seen done (past lives, shounen-ai/shoujo love triangle), plus it has such hilarious moments. I haven't laughed this much reading a manga in so long. The facial expressions of Keidai (the main character) are ace!! Check it out!
P.S. Not a full 10 though because it's slowly degenerating into a normal shoujo romance.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a good laugh and a fun twist.
Anyways, this is definitely a good manga. It has an original and interesting plot, and has a lot of humorous things. The characters develops well, and our protagonist is really hilarious. He's definitely funny, but he's got his cool moments, and when he does, he is DEFINITELY cool.
And the art is gorgeous. I love this mangaka's drawings because they are really beautiful.
Anyways, most of all, I love this manga because it really hits the heart. It's funny most of the times, and when it comes to the serious parts, it really grabs your heart. I finished reading the manga not long ago and the emotions still hold on to me.
Throughout this manga, our main character goes through the struggle of keeping his past and present lives together, but at the same time, not to confuse the past people with the present. But all of that is hard, especially since he still remembers. The trials that he goes through to figure all of this out--it is definitely worth reading and watching his progress, as well as everyone else.
Overall, a great comedy heart-grabbing manga that deserves much attention.
