This manga is so realistic, but still has enough drama in it for me to love. It's like it has just the right amounts of both.
The characters react like real people, and that's part of the magic of it. The art is clean and beautiful, and the storyline is interesting and engaging.
All in all, an amazing manga.

I've read the first 2 volumes so far I love it. Its touching and realistic in how the characters grow. Yes there are the typical shoujo moments but i think that's what makes this manga even better.
What I like most about this story is the way you can relate to the characters thoughts and feelings. Even if things get a bit immoderately dramatic, the characters act like real ppl would, you can clearly see why they react the way they do.
The characters are absolutely the stories' strongest point. To watch them grow and mature as one disaster after the other unfolds is so much fun, that I fear the moment I read the last volume and will never be able to read any new stories about Ann, Daigo, Fuji and Shiika-chan.
Ah, yes. It would be a 10, if it weren't for Ashihara Hinako's epic fail at drawing proportioned feet!

This manga is one of the best in my opinion, if you're looking into the genre of shoujo. The characters are realistic-ish and the story is very cute and sweet, but it starts off dramatically, with a few cliche shoujo moments between Ann and Daigo, but nevertheless problems arise left and right and you never know what to expect. All in all, the plot is very suspenseful and keeps your interest....One of the BEST shoujos should be able to keep you interested in what happens to the main couple in the story and this story is able to do that.=^__^=
It's one of my favourite manga. I really like the story- The traits of the characters are real, their feelings are true and the story is so deep! I love it It's a recommend for ALL manga-fans, who like deep storys with characters like you and me. And the best: the story starts at the end, but you don't know, how it will end!

There's something artificial about the fact that every chapter is calculated to be a tearjerker (this is at about vol2). Formula shoujo. Otherwise the art's nice and clean.

its so damn good this far...i cant wait 2 read more..is daigo would end up with ann?
^o^

It is a good drama/shojo manga definitely. It has its dark and light moments, and you guys will definitely enjoy reading most of the volumes that have been published so far, as it scanslates as well. I have read up till vol.8 and I will promise you that you will enjoy it, especially if you like drama's.
a very interesting and real manga...it started as a shoujo genre, but at this rate, it'll finish as a josei genre, in my opinion...light-hearted romance and a bit of comedy
