this manga could become a head ache if u are not patient enough.There are many scenes which can be cut(majorly ECCHI).But story become pretty good after sometime.Ending is much more better though (actually i don't like the ending but it IS that i still remember almost the whole story)


Art is good (the type u'll need for an ecchi manga)

character growth is also pretty good.

an overall pretty good manga.

I really liked this the first time. Its not a harem manga thats really funny, but some of the characters are really good. There are some really useless annoying characters, however. Its a good read because you really get emotionally attached with some of the characters, and its nice that Junpei has to choose a girl based on one's passions (cooking, movies, writing)... However, that means the girls that don't have any real interests in a career (Satsuki, Kozue) never had a shot with Junpei. That said, reading it the second time was painful. I skipped a lot of "pointless" chapters, and I was realizing more and more how unrealistic and annoying this manga was to read. All in all, I think this manga is worth reading at least once.

To all the haters, I actually liked the ending. I like slice of life endings where the girl who tried the hardest ultimately got the guy.

the ending just annoyed me, if the ending was different, i think it could've even better

I don't know how to do that spoiler thing, so if you haven't read the manga yet, don't read my comments. Take it for granted that the manga is awesome and come to your own conclusions.

That being said, I thought the ending was the best choice. I agree (along with tazman0208) that, given given the circumstance with Manaka and Toujo, that Nishino was the right choice for her perseverence. However, for me, even if Toujo gave Junpei some indication that she liked him, I still think Nishino is the best, for personal reasons, of course. But for me, the girl as discribed in Nishino's character is almost ideal. First, as already meantioned, she was loyal and dedicated to their relationship. Second, she was attentive to Junpei's needs and moods (even when he himself was not). Third, she wasn't afraid to talk about potential mixups (think v.9 after Junpei thought she was hugging the pasty guy). If it was Toujo, that would've been the end for them. Fourth, she had the right mix of aggressiveness/initiative and vulnerability (the 3-day "my own personal Junpei" trip). Fifth, she did things for Junpei's benefit without seeking recognition (first valentine's chocolate, breaking up with Junpei in the first place, which was a seriously mature move, can you see Satsuki doing that, despite whatever Junpei felt like?). Sixth, she was both cute (Toujo) and sexy (Satsuki). Seventh, she changed for junpei. Eighth, she had a more mature understanding of love, in that she tried to support Junpei without ever 1) trying to force him to follow her, or 2) trying to force herself to follow him. My final conclusion, Nishino was both the most realistic of the girls (v.18 where Nishino was insecure about her figure as compared to the other girls) and least realistic (if there is such a girl out there, let me know! I'd go for her in an instant!!!) I could refer to so many other moments which, litle by little, solidified my decision for Nishino (I love the confession on the pull-up bar in v.16).So Mizuki, you get 10/10 from me for the near-perfect ending (I agree and feel sorry for Satsuki).

I'd give it a 10/10 but...

This is the only manga that made me nostalgic with my days in high school, made me laugh, broke my heart and really got me empathizing with fictional characters and later, left me devastated.

Some people complain that it shouldn't have gone on that long but then they are fools who failed to see the magic that is ICHIGO 100%.

This happened to be the 1st manga I actually finished and I immediately fell in love with it. Unlike in most harem romantic comedies, in Ichigo 100% character developments are a big deal. Of course there are the usual hilarious random moments but the series truly shines in the developments and of course the girls are a big deal. My best girls have to be Kozue and Satsuki because even though they are the underdogs, they're still plenty of fun. I've seen and read plenty of rom/coms and this has to be the best in the harem department. ^_^

I exaggerated nearly two years ago when I praised this particular manga. It truly fits in the harem category, however, there are just too many unrealistic issues and predicaments, which become utterly ridiculous at times. Despite its numerous flaws, it remains to be a decent read for a teen audience.

this is the manga where i was most satisfied with.

i love how the plot developed the relationships, and how the development for each girl was the deciding factor on which one the main character ended up with.

i have already forgotten the story, but one thing sticks to my mind

it started really nice and then developed well. the last volume you won't stop reading till till its all finish. off course with many scenes that will make you jump excited to know what will happen at the end and how will this end up.

i didnt get bored one bit when i read it. its the best in the
story,drawing,characters and ecchis parts and i wished for it to reach more chapters
