At First...

I hated it. It was so jumpy, and I hated the flow. But it got better over time and grew on me, it's been a long while since I've been so invested in a romantic couple in ANY manga at all. It's good. Started it to waste time and now I can't wait for the next translation <3. Yayyy The plot just flows pretty well together, I honestly couldn't obviously predict what was going to happen. I absolutely love that.

~~lil edit~~
In the beginning- till it gets good or you start caring- I genuinely had a blast picking on and hating all of the characters. I was just criticizing everything but that in it's own way was fun. Then it eventually got good

I'm a sucker for this manga

I'm a total sucker when it comes to these types of manga...I don't know why I always choose to read it but I always end up complaining about it. And the worst part is, is that I can't seem to drop this manga LOL. Must. Finish. Till. The. End...

I think it's cute. I mean her parents approve. I think if it ended at the chapter where her father let them be together...that would have been a really cute ending..but no.

Now we'll have to see the obstacles they face..blahblahblah.

Typical shoujo with a naive female lead and a handsome, yet jerk male lead. I was hearing comments from before that L-DK is very cliche but you see, some titles take cliches and they make them enjoyable. But not in this case.

The first volume was entertaining. I said to myself, "This is not that bad."
But once I proceeded to the second volume and later, I felt so bored. It's like the author is forcing for various situations to happen. And some situations are just unbelievable. At first the author seemed that she was trying to achieve realism but she failed. For example,

Aoi and Shuusei are only 16 and they are so damn independent. They are able to live alone without any problems. They pay the rent, they buy anything they want... How is that possible? Even if your parents can send you money, they cannot send you THAT much. It would be more excusable if the characters were college students, then okay.

And it's just so predictable. I mean, you know that third people will step between Aoi and Shuusei and drama will begin.

The characters are just so boring. Aoi is your typical naive heroine, just one level above from the super stupid heroines of Mayu Shinjo. At first she does not care for Shuusei but later she falls for him.
Shuusei... He is just an idiot. Ok, he has looks and he attracts tons of girls. Aoi on the other hand is simple but she is interested to be in a serious relationship with a guy in general. Yet Shuusei goes to her, he is flirting with her, Aoi is blushing (and of course she is charmed by his looks), she thinks that he has fallen for her but in the end he tells her not to fall for him and he rejects her. Why in the first place Shuusei flirts with her? Just to play? Just to kill his time? Even so, he targets Aoi a lot. He is just pathetic and immature like Shin from Goong.

The artwork is alright, nothing that great.

It's time consuming with a slow plot

I'm forcing my self to read this because I want to keep up with it. Normally, I would just drop these types and go. But, the author is taking so long to explain the main guys past and the heroine is sooo desperate!!. Long story short, the guy is boring, he's never jealous, he is extremely childish and clueless. Don't get me started on Aoi, move on chick!! you guys were not a couple for you to be that love sprung!! It's so sad sometimes and the author needs to take the advice of burying the main guy in the back of the apartment!!

pls...if this manga ends in few more chapters im really gonna kill someone.
the male lead's issues can't be resolved in just one go.
there are just a lot of things to settle.

so typical of shoujo mangas tho, good men finish last. poor sanjou-san =/
i kinda understand others who start to hate the male lead, but he, himself, has things on his shoulders. so let's just tolerate him a bit.
i like the female lead. i haven't find her annoying...yet.

P.S. i think people who comment like "this is so cliche" are so cliche.

Well, I read the summarized version(uptochapter6) and I can't help but like it. Shuusei is such a sweety. I think his personality (right now) is very high school like. It's like when you have your guy friends and their very touchy which sometimes cause misunderstanding. The heroine is very cliche for me (Yea, she's cliche ><) I do hope the plot does evolve because it's really cute xD

I've thought about this too much

Honestly this manga was a rollercoaster to read because sometimes I really loved and enjoyed reading it and other times I just wanted it to be over
I don't think the main characters are likeable but I still think they were pretty well written - the male lead barely cares about anything and is a jerk a lot of the time and the protagonist is annoyingly naive (though they do get better in the later chapters)

they both treat eachother badly at different times throughout the manga but I mean the male lead straight up slaps the protagonist in the face to make her shut up in ch 44 like it's nothing and she doesn't say anything about it - she let's him push her around the entire first half of the story
Out of all the things I had issues with (like them trying to convince her dad living together as high schoolers was okay and the male lead telling everyone they live together right away while the protagonist actually tries to keep it a secret) I couldn't get over that slap

But over all I managed to actually really enjoy this manga - it's easy to find fault with anything but it made me feel a lot of things and turned out to be more thought provoking than I expected so there's that
I mean it's shoujo so just don't take it too seriously and it can be a really fun read
The manga definitely improves in the later chapters - there's a cute slice of life feel to some of them that show the progress of the characters' relationship in an endearing way and the art is pretty great
By the end it's pretty adorable

Not good

I just finished vol4 chap13. I don't really know the reason why I keep reading this. Maybe because there is not much text and the pictures are clear and easy to see. It's kind of light reading for me, a way to kill time while waiting for other series to be released. The plot is not good at all, everything is exaggerated, things happen so fast, there is no smooth transition T_T I guess this kind of story is for those around 15+ probably

i still can't say i like or hate it

i still can't say whether i like it or hate it...cliche or not...

if i put myself in either of their position. i probably will handle it the same or slightly different.
because it's not like i can exactly see(or feel?) the other person's point of view
much more...read their mind, to know and do "the right thing to say and do", isn't it?

i can understand why Shuusei is acting this confusing jerk.
..given that he too, is trying to restrain himself from falling in love with Aoi.
i can also empathize with Aoi trying to stop her feelings because
she doesn't want to be a burden to Shuusei,

but as a girl...
we all know that it's not easy to suppressed "liking someone"
especially if that person is our "first love" isn't it? ;D
no wonder she later on confess to him. = 3=

what i can't forgive about Shuusei is how he was able to leave Aoi
after she goes back to him (after all he had done to her).
he sure does deserve the title of "whimp" >=DDD
