What's the cause of Hotaka's bitterness? What does he want to hide?
How does Awaya Nika have more in common with him than he could ever imagine?

Impressively bad for this author, even before the ending

by tigerstar186

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

I know everyone hates the ending but frankly this one has been a stinker from the start. All their relationships and interactions are based upon misunderstandings and unwillingness to communicate. It's everything I hate in romance to a T. The few cute character interactions don't make up for the slow and frustrating pace which meanders until it suddenly accelerates to a stop.

...and that ending. Hoo boy, that was bad. I honestly can't think of a single reason you would write that twist into a romance and follow through on it in such a way. I guess it served its purpose and created some drama... but damn, I am left dissatisfied on all counts.

Hard to believe something like this came out of the author of Golden Time and Toradora, some of the best romances on the market. I'd like to blame the editorial, but it definitely has the bones of their other works. They just put the skeleton together wrong. Wayy wrong.

Great beginning, then terrible ending

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

Ending

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.

Surprisingly sweet

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!

Great start, bad ending.

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.

Not for vanilla readers

Cute characters, nice art. The reception to the twist is exaggerated. I thought it was quite interesting, and not something done before. The relationship after the twist evolved naturally too. Despite being Takemiya's weakest work I still enjoyed this.

4 points dropped... I expect that the story become like this but anyway this is something that was new I really enjoy new things, not all stores should be good. This one is just okay.

The author could make it better but its rushed. (some people will get angry mooooore 🙂 )

Disappointing ending

by Lokimyth67

Rating: N/A

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

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.
