I give this a 10 because I want to enhance the average ratings. The actual score would be 8.75.
Anyway, I read this series 4 times. I really really like it. I would highly recommend this manga for who is looking a light, heartwarming, refreshing and kinda short shoujo manga.
Here are some tags which are my favorites:
-Jealous Male Lead
-Unrequited love becomes requited love.
- Childhood friends (they're not friends actually but they've been together since they were babies)
*Plot:
The plot is not something really new (fake siblings become lovers, school life, popular male lead, strong female lead - well I'm not spoiling - just some categories) but this manga is definitely not cliché. Trust me. I've reald 10.000+ shoujo mangas. This one has something to do with modeling, androgynous male and stuff.
Anyway, a huge bonus for this is the male falls in love first and he loves the girl so so deeply and for a long time. I always get that unique feeling whenever I read this. I can't describe it but it feels like the boy gets jealous around the girl so easily and often but he always tries to hide it by fighting against the girl. And the boy has to suffer a lot of unexpressed feelings which he has to hold back. I also like it when Ami (the girl) gradually develope her feelings towards Chihiro.
However, I consider some romance scenes in this manga are a little bit vapid. And the second male lead's role is kinda forced. He doesn't meet the main couple naturally. But he makes Chihiro jealous a lot so I think it's Ok. 👌Fanservice.
I really hate smut scenes in shoujo mangas too. (smut scenes in josei are absolutely great). This doesn't have that many scenes but... I mean, com'on, they're just highschoolers, they live under the same roof with thier parents ?!! (This is why I didn't like Rere Hello that much too).
*Art: 6.5- 7.5 it's okay then. I guess the plot is awesome so I don't mind it. Well, it's better than some well-drawn but nonsensed mangas (eg. Usotsuki Ouji to Nisemono Kanojo - sparkling & lovely drawings - terrible plot)
Update: 2023: this is still my favourite manga ever... It has cheesy and corny details here and there but a very intriguing plot with a lot of potential to be a longer and interesting series... The feeling of not being able to express your love makes me swooning and squeezing in the heart (lol) ( ⁼̴̤̆ ළ̉ ⁼̴̤̆)و ̑̑The ending is soooo satisfying... This is my comforting series
