is this like the drama the devil beside you?
with rainie and mike?
lol.
i didn't read it yet....
but 8 is how i rate it from the summary.
=]

uh the characters are so poorly drawn in my opinion like their clothes... I don't know about the plot but for me if the art isn't good, then I wouldn't read it.

The ending was good though. I liked the ending a lot. (I skipped the whole story. I just read the last 3 chapters -.-)

The characters are well developed especially Takeru. In this manga, Takeru was first shown as a bully and a very spoiled brat. However behind those attitudes lie a very deep reason why he is like that and such. As the story goes further, we see Takeru's dark sides and how will he overcome it of course with the help of our main character, Kayano. Kayano is very typical high school girl (a transparent one with her feelings you can say). But no matter how transparent she is, she is only Takeru's weakness. Because of her, Takeru knows how to break down at times when he really needs too. Takeru only shows his softer side to her. Wow, see how love can be a very very great thing? LoL

Anwyay, love progress in this manga is excellent too. We see the couple's jealousy at sometimes whenever they worry that one might have been taken away from the other (stuff like that). and we also see how they make up right away once their struggles have been talked over.

Character Design. Oh Gotta love the character designs in here. I really liked how Takeru is drawn with his spiky hair. It shows more of his gangster attitude. Oh i like him too when he wears glasses. (thought he was hot looking like that) lol

So If you guys enjoy a "bully love", drama at times, romance with see-through emotions, here's a manga for you to read

What the hell? People dress so strange in this manga....

The mangaka really could have gone a long way with this theme. She could have handled it deftly and with depth, but instead she glosses over the difficulties of a stepcestuous relationship. It's all a little too pat and a little too easy. The art is wonderful, as expected of Takanashi-sensei, but the plot and the characterization is dilute and uninteresting. It's too stereotypical to absorb a jaded manga reader.

Crimson Hero by the same mangaka is a much better work. Miles better. Aeons better. If you have to spend your time reading a Takanashi manga, read Crimson Hero instead of this immature romance!

I really liked Takeru. his problems are similar to ones I have (only more 'girlish' ;). however it was hard to understood the 'Italy problem' (the way he acted), but I feel half-empty without one of my parents myself, so in the end I think he did the best thing. he just did, what had to be done ("for them", like Kayano thought). without talking to much about it. this is what I liked about him the most.

I like the ending. The main character was drawn well (hot!)

[edit by mod, Warning: Possible spoiler]
i love this manga sooooooo much! it was amzing and takeru(the main character) is sooo hot, although he's a drawing! i expected the ending to be different like he comes back home forever not they get married(sorry 4 spoiling it)!

this manga was the best. I mean it was not like Parfait Tic. I didnt get tired after voulme 6. The story was really good and the drawings were perfect. I wish it had more volumes ^^

This is one of those mangas that make me wonder why I bothered reading past vol 1.
