Sonnan ja nee yo

Description

Meet Shizuki Maku. To say she looks "above average" would be a slight overstatement, but it's especially bad compared to her older twin brothers, the high-school heartthrobs Retsu and Tetsu. She always wondered whether or not she really belonged in her family, but things take a shocking twist when her brothers plant the suggestion that they may not be related after all.

Now she's supposed to pick one of them to be her boyfriend, all the while defending herself from all the other girls at school who want to keep her "brothers" for themselves! Life isn't easy when you're the ugly duckling!

Note: Won the 51st (2005) Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo manga in 2006.

Nice one

After reading a manga like "The revolutionary girl utena" and then next this one makes you feel like its a real good one. A little drag. But good nonetheless. Thank god for a heroine who can be evil at times. And I loved the mom character. Queen mother!!

Good but really slow read

There is a good story behind this but it dragged on and took so long to develop that it was getting boring. The romance doesn't really turn up until the later chapters as well. But I really liked Ryouko, Shizuki's mom, she was a fun and entertaining character. As for Shizuki, overstating her as plain got really dull really quick.

a real head breaker

Rating: N/A

I think that the art is quite splendid. But the story dragged a lot. This is a shoujo, there is no tragedy involved, so you could guess, everything would end happily.You get all these options but later on when you know the end, it was pretty obvious.

If you like to break your head over the whole family drama, I think you would love this manga. But I don't really like thinking when I'm reading.

Conclusion: For me, I liked the art, and it had a strong romance, but it didn't have much comedy for me, and it dragged.

it started out ok but then it just got to confusing @~@
the relationship of these 3 kids plus another guy gets added and his mother oh god and the 1 thing
i hate the most is that the truth only comes out at the end! wats the fun in that? we dont get to see our main characters going out and such.... will then again keep the story going i suppose the secret had to come at the end to close the doors on this manga series.

Pretty good

One of the better manga of its category so far. I don't see what's so confusing, since the twists are pretty easy to understand. Shizuka is a wonderful girl, if you ask me. She's just easily misunderstood because she's too altruistic and most people who read this manga, like all animals, are more towards the selfish side, so they don't understand altruistic people.

It kept me interested, you will always be trying to guess who is the adopted one XD
It is slow paced and even though there's the whole brother sister forbidden relationship thing, It didn't creep me out at all.

P.S. Shizuka's friends suck e_e all the girls in that manga are freaks and so annoying. If you go by this manga all Japanese girls are in heat all year round. There isn't a single girl in this manga who is likable, except for the main character.

a parody on soap operas....?

I applogize in advance since this won't be a normal review, is just my two cents that i must get out of my system.

Even tho I like complicated relationships and not so ordinary story lines, in this manga there are too many plot twists and it can confuse you. This really gives me off a feeling of a soap opera, is really ridiculous with the amount of secrets that are around the characters.
And I'm really angry and annoyed at the parents, hiding so many things and making their kids miserable.
But still, overall, I think that story isn't bad, i liked the characters and the art as well, is just that it made me a bit frustrated, I feel like it was dragged out a bit, would have been so much better with a little less of those plot twists, i.e. if it ended sooner.

With this manga I had to re-read some bits so as not to get lost because it comes and goes soooo many times that is almost impossible not to get lost. In the end the mangaka had to resort to one of the characters drawing how everyone was connected because otherwise it would have been impossible to understand. I tried to explain this manga to a friend and had several difficulties with remembering how many times the kids changed the people they believed were their parents. =P

If you like twists in the storyline then this is your manga, because it changes so abruptly so many times that you have to concentrate on what you are reading.

At some points, it gest dramatic because - since you don't really know who their real parents are - what the characters are doing can be considered incest. Not like "we are siblings because our parents got married but we are not blood related" like in several mangas, but real blood - related incest.

I would recommend it to anyone willing to focus on what he/she is reading. The hot twins are totally worth it.

This ones a bit wierd. It's definitely something that.. probably never happens, or reaaally rare. Anyway, it gives me a few laughs (: I like it ! I want to know what happens. I mean, it has its unique kind of a story line..

If you're not too harsh on how "unrealistic" it is, its pretty good ^o^

The characters need to have more depth. What is the specific reason for both of these brother's being so passionate about their sister. So far the art is the only thing keeping this manga afloat.
