First few chapters were just absolute perfection. Then they introduce some stupid bullshit plot twist and I'm disappointed but I deal with it because I figure the mangaka will just fix it at some point. And then this series ends...with one of the worst endings...I've seen in a long time. And I'm just so mad. Don't read this series. Starts off great and just has a truly truly bad ending. I wish I had never read this. Give me my God damn time back.

Awww, this is by far the sweetest romance manga I've read so far. The genuinely awkward situations and realistic responses. I really empathise with the protagonist.

I mean, so many of us have had a crush on the cutest girl in school, and it's a breath of fresh air to read a romance story where the protagonist doubts himself (as most of us did) and wants to but really can't believe that that girl is actually interested in him. It's beautiful to see the two of them being pulled together by circumstances. It's as if you simply can't believe the girl is interested in you, and you put any events that happen between the two of you as coincidence.

Strangely enough, I've actually had many experiences like the protagonist while I was at school, and surprisingly, later when I'd moved on, it came out that those girls actually liked me back. It's so ironic. It's great to finally read a manga where I can truly empathise with the protagonist.

Anyway, 10 thumbs up for this series. This one definitely trumps Tora Dora, which was my previous favourite.

So far it seems quite good. The disabled male protagonist has been seen before but I do not think one with low self esteem has been done. Though I sorta saw the end of the second chapter coming....

Im looking forward to this one

As soon as I discovered this is the work of Toradora's author, I began reading it. But I guess that was a mistake to believe this will also be a masterpiece.

The art is beautiful, I really liked all the details, the way the artist portrayed the characters. With a good story this would be a really good manga.
Would be.
The story was great for the first 10 chapters, later something strange happened. The author made really strange decisions. First it looked like if the manga had to be rushed and finished as soon as possible. If that wasn't enough, the author decided to put drama that felt unnecessary, rushed and surprising but not in a positive way. Something really went bad at some point, the idea for the plot wasn't new but it was somewhat good... but that ending...

I wouldn't recommend it, after reading it I'm not sure if the time was wasted or not. The only thing I'm grateful is that this story ended in 23 chapters instead of for example 100. At least the readers don't have to suffer long.

I mean well, in this scene or based on the events in the story I wouldn't mind incest but it never happened and it made me very sad because they never end up with each other(or rather it was an open ending) but it was disappointing coming from the author of both Golden Time and ToraDora which are two masterpieces of the romance genre

Started out pretty good but around the 11th or 12th chapter it just got really wacky. Kinda seems like all the characters are silly and don't take anything seriously but then the next moment they are super serious and "drama" starts. I know there is supposed to be a lot of comedic moments but it feels like the comedy and drama aren't paced well at all.
edit: Looking at the comments and at the ending...LOL glad I dropped this 2 years ago

Basically starts going WAY downhill after chapter 19. You can tell the author had to axe it.

Everyone is complaining about the ending so I will also add in my two cents. It's just a bit lacking. It was exactly how I had hoped it would end from all the previous chapter hints but the making up part should have definitely been expanded upon. Otherwise 10.

If you’re expecting Toradora 2, this is not the manga for you (it even rhymes…).

I guessed the twist from the start, there were a few hints leading to it (I figured it out in chapter 2). Anyways, I liked all 4 main characters, especially On-chan. It's not the typical “boy meets girl-love triangle, drama, drama-happy end” shoujo, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. Actually, after reading it, to me it kinda feels like a good slice of life. The manga is well paced, all in all it’s a nice rounded up short story. The resolution could've been a little longer and more complex, but I can forgive that, because the ending just melted my heart. Loved it from the beginning to the end.

P.S. And to all the people who are dissing it because of the ending – go put on glasses and read chapter 2 again!
