It's cliché and thats all it is, really.
But it's a really well done cliché plot.
The art is gorgeous, facial expressions makes you wonder what's going on in their heads, the sky at night really feels authentic ... giving it less than a 10 is impossible.
The story is cliché as stated above but cliché doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.
No heavy drama, an adorable heroine and - of course - a perfect good-looking gentle guy who looks like a delinquent, do leave a warm, fuzzy feeling your stomach after each chapter you've read through.
Makes one realize that cliché is actually not a bad thing.

I'm the heroine's biggest fan! she's a klutz at times but she's just so strong! When she's put in an awkward position she makes up an excuse without blushing excessively like other shojou heroines. She may be a big fragile but her willpower is strong! Asou is a definite hottie. Bleached hair, ear piercing, scary eyes and a total gentle guy = Asou! Hikaru's big brother fondness of her is very amusing! Hahaha, he's such a hottie/cutie as well. Having great characters like that and an amazing story line the shojouness is forgotten because you'll be lost in those sweet moments.

Characters - 10
Plot - 9
Artwork - Definitely 10

This manga was so gentle, so pure, that it made me feel good inside, all fluffly and soft.... Which for me is something nobody would ever suspect. I really loved Sora Log (just as much as Ai Hime). Asou seems like a bad boy and intially you'd think he was a playboy (He's not... I'd even go as far as calling him a cherry boy) , but in reality...He's just a hurt little boy trying hide himself so he doesnt ever get hurt again (or hurt others). I love how sweet and gentle he is with Hikaru, he really treasures her. I even like Hikaru, she's not a whiny baby who gives up, she may seem childish, but she's very, very mature and a perfect fit.

I love the whole bit about the past, it worked very well. When you read it you'll definately understand. I also really love the moment when he figures out who she really is, his expression is just too.... . (But I'm a sadist!)

I especially loved the oneshot at the end. My kind of thing, ya'know?

This manga was really really sweet. I loved the relationship between the two characters. It's as if they can understand each other so well without words simply because of that connection and bond they share and you can really see that right when they first meet. They're both so strong and they trust each other so much.
The mystery!! It's so cool how right from the start you can sense that "something is not right." That there's something more that's going on that we don't know about and each volume gives little bursts of a "mysterious past" of some sort and it makes you wanna keep reading because you wanna know what the "secret" is.
It is a bit cliche at some parts but there's just something beautiful about their relationship. It's so pure and loving and honest.

I just wished it was longer! Other than that, I had a blast reading this

one of the few mangas i gave full points. Art, story all of them superb. Read it even if you are not into shoujo. One exeption for this may be tragedy haters, for all the series i waited as if some big tragedy will happen at the next page but unexpectedly there is no tragedy (as you can see at the tag) but the main heroine is so happy go lucky type you wait for a big boulder to fall from the sky and kill all her loved ones lol

I LOVE THIS MANGA. It is my newest standard. Any manga less amazing than this no longer deserves my attention.

Art: 10/10
Minato's eyes, oh my gosh. When he got that intense look later, or the tender and adoring look, or when he cried, I just wanted to stare at him. I seriously did, several times. I just stopped reading and stared at him for a while. He's tall, broad, and masculine with the appearance of a delinquent, the piano skills of a modern Mozart, and all the tenderness of a man in love with the woman of his dreams. This was very well portrayed in how he and everyone around him was drawn, and I loved it!!

Characters: 10/10

I'm normally not a big fan of overly positive female leads with some sort of mysterious past and a doting older brother, but I loved Hikaru! Especially whenever she bit back at a comment another character flung her way. I was like "Oh, snap!" all the time because she was all cute and sweet one moment and then all rebellious the next. It was awesome. She fits Minato perfectly, too. Whenever he looked at her all adoringly, it was a total "aww" moment.

I even liked Hikaru's brother, Yui, who has a major sister complex for reasons revealed later in the story that go beyond the normal hinting-at-incest type shoujo manga. Yui isn't in love with his sister, he just takes care of her, so don't not read this manga because of him. He has very good reasons for his actions.

Did I mention that I love Minato? Cuz I love him. <3 I want someone just like him for my own.

Story: 10/10
Seemed cliche, but turned out surprising, riveting, and intense. I read it all in one day because I just wanted to know what happened so dang badly. BTW, there's a great ending. Very satisfying.

All in all: 10/10. Perfect. Amazing. Romantic while not going over the top. Feel-good, yet still deep and emotional. As expected of Mitsuki Kako-sensei. Kiss/Hug is another of my favorite mangas, and she definitely fulfilled my expectations for awesomeness on this. Long distance high-five, Sensei!!!

... way too long for what it is: a lovey-dovey shoujo romance with likable characters. I liked this unabashedly, sugarsweet side of it, and seeing the characters smile warms one's heart.

But stories need conflict, and the conflict in this story is... questionable. A plot that somehow involves amnesia, a "terrible trauma" that turns out not to have been so terrible and, more importantly, is stretched for at least a whole volume more than it should have been. And so, so much unwarranted guilt on all sides! Sigh.

I just love reading Mitsuki Kako-Sensei's manga. They are always so warm and cute. This story resembled a lot of her other works, but even so I LOVED IT!!!!!

Minato is just so handsome. His eyes are so expressive. When he stares intensely I was frozen and when he looked at Hikaru with so much love I was all melty. He has such a sweet personality. I simply adore him. Hikaru is such a delightful character. I never thought that a character that was ditzy and optimistic could hold my interest much less be one that I genuinely love. But she ended up stealing my heart. Hikaru is a wonderful partner for Minato. They suit each other so perfectly. I even loved Hikaru's brother, Yui, who has sister complex

This is another of my favs!!!!

This was pretty cute =] I am content. The story made me laugh and smile and just make all kinds of faces haha The characters were so cute. I just loved Hikaru. Even though she was so light hearted and happy go lucky, she wasn't the annoying type. I loved her honesty, and her courage in showing and saying what she truly felt no matter what. Minato was just too adorable as well haha I loved how he tried to make himself seem so mean, but couldn't help but be nice at the same time. He was soo misunderstood =[ The extra story at the very end made my heart warm. Just too cute <3

so like Mitsuki Kako sensei's style. All her characters, all her stories, have almost the same element. All her storylines are soft as in told in a very warm manner way. It's always gentle...you know, that feeling! Like you're sitting outside of your house, reading a book under the warm weather. That's how it feels. I kinda like the characters and I have to say, I find Hikaru's positiveness a little bit over exaggerated. There isn't much girls in reality are like that, so...that's a little bit too much but since it's a manga, who cares! Her brother is not exactly a bad person, he's just worried about his cute lil sister, so I don't think so I can blame him for his over-protectiveness...and I like Asou! He's cool yet he can't keep his coolness. hahaha! But overall, it's a very gentle read. If you like her other works, maybe you'll like this one as well.
