at first, I thought "Oh, another unhappy ending?" But when I actually read it, it's a pretty fine ending, even a good one IMO: something like "...and they live happily ever after...", bravo!
I love this series, it's fun to read, the art is great but sometime I confused characters with other ones cause they look so alike ^_^

I always find Arina Tanemura's work not as exciting compared to other mangaka's works. The art is magnificent, but sadly, the plot has to be strong for a manga to be successful. For the first few chapters, I found the story refreshing (at least, when I started to read this manga). I really liked it because I thought this was something new and the characters looked original.
As the story progressed, I found that I was continuing the story for the sake of finishing it. The characters which seemed to have donned an impressive appearance in the first few volumes, showed that they were nothing but an empty shell later. The dialogs seemed cliche, and quite childish. Glad to know that Arina Tanemura has decided to end the series at volume 11. But frankly speaking, this series to consist of 11 volumes is considered awfully draggy. Personally I think this manga should just end with a total of 8 volumes.
Towards the end, I found that the plot started to pick up and the characters were finally back on track. It started to get exciting and then it died down immediately after. The last few chapters could be combined to a single chapter.
This is one manga that is suitable for the younger audience. I think as I am now older, manga similar to this has now lost its charm on me. :<

yeah, it didn't show any development between the girl and her biologcal father, i'm starting to think her whole misfortune is caused by her weakling mother. I agree to the fact it has too much characters, that i think unnecessary. Also when she states she'd like to marry both brothers, turns me off. The ending is unclear though, she'll be living with the brothers after the wedding? running off at the end? and seemed like still harboring infatuation for the sick twin? Although Tanemura says this is her proudest work, she still has a long way to go.
I loved the series but the end leaves me rather unsatisfied 
*sighs* Endings always kill series. And I don't mean the fact that the series has ended I mean what happens at the end >.<

The ending wrapped up the series in a half hearted way, that was way too happy and sugar plumed. Too sappy. Sure the art's cute, but I'd prefer if Tanemura stick with supernatural romances... The just kinda got bland and overdosed with shoujo cliches and predictable romance....
I'm sorry, but I didn't really like this series that much.

To say the truth: I cried in the end. Not because of joyful tears; but only because it was a such a bad ending. Really. Suck-ie.
Tanemura's works (ie: Full Moon) are always beautiful and deep in thought, but the endings always makes me feel unsatisfied and it just kills the whole series.
Otherwise, during the series, it was intriguing, with all those 'unpredictable' twists that leave my stomache upside down. It was very likable; until the end >@<

I absolutely loved this series! The plot was nice and fairly unpredictable and the drawings were very nice. I waited for the last chapter, knowing that it would be something amazing. I looked at the release board and raced to read it and... it sucked. I give the series a 9 because of how much I enjoyed it but, if you want to continue liking this series after you've finished with it, your finish should be chapter 46. Or even the entire last block of chapters. They honestly suck. And I died inside. Series Killers!!!!!!!!!
It was an alright series. It took me a long time until I got into it, because the earlier chapters were really confusing. And then a lot of cliche drama and shallow romance came. The ending was alright, nothing amazing. I prefer Full Moon over this, but it was still an entertaining read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this manga. up until the end that is. I would have given this manga a 10, but the ending... ARGH!
I should never reading endings... they kill every series for me.

It would have been better if Shizumasa remained the antagonist. I also would have been more satisfied if the ending wasn't so sugar-coated. Not that I'm against their happiness, but that just way too superficial. And the whole thing with Haine being "shared" between the brothers just angers me... !! >_<

the story is okay and the drawing is really good. The feelings of all the characters can be seen clearly in their facial expressions which is what I truly admire but the characters are way too many they become confusing sometimes.
