So...I'm reading this because of all the good things I've heard about it..."Oh it's so sad." "Oh, the story is so good!" "Oh, it's based on a true story..." Okay, factoring all the reviews I've heard and read...not at all what I expected. THhe art work for the manga is pretty good, a kind of style I like. But seriously now people, I have to agree with Beauceron "...but for goodness' sake, just a lick of sense between them would have saved them from a lot of trouble. This story made me all weepy in the beginning, but I just finished reading the third volume, and I could only groan watching them two srewing up time and again." I'm sorry to say this, but if these were two real people then they have done the most idiotic things that could screw up their lives. It hurts watching themselves make a disaster of their already bad situation. They are idiots. That's all there is to it. I...I just...I have no more words for this story...read at your own discretion....

I feel like reviewing this manga now.
At first I was interested to read this because of the "tragedy" genre, and then the second reason was because the series runs until volume 10, which was quite a number, despite of it being a story of high school love.
Honestly, Just by reading the first half volumes of Koizora, I feel like the author just add up EVERY single thing that will happen to a high school girl and boy: drugs, smoking, rape, sex, getting pregnant, and then miscarriage, to make a tragic main character(s). It's really annoying to me! Surely, if there should be any cliche romance, there are still many other ways to picture it =_=
And then, I feel like the characters have a very weak concept that I feel no happiness nor sympathy when reading this. Totally disappointed about this part!
But, well, I don't really hate this manga at all, 'cause I'm always trying to be objective here. Although it's still far from any good mangas that I read out there.

After coming off a stream of heartbreaking and well-written mangas/books, I felt that Koizora didn't particularly strike any sort of emotional chords in me. I mean, it takes a pretty overused cliche for tragedies AND combines it with ridiculous characters and a storyline that looks as if it's been made to induce tears. With respects to the manga, the art isn't anything great (but it gets the job done), and the pacing is inconsistent.

The characters are barely tolerable, and their actions are unfathomable. Hiro is a major arse who needs some advice on how to treat the one he loves well. I somewhat understand his actions, but what he does to "protect" Mika, is to hurt her (emotionally and physically), treat her like garbage, have relationships with other girls (in front of her) when she's obviously still in love with him, because that's obviously what you do to not hurt loved ones right? How about communicating with her, telling her the truth, figuring out what you guys need to do to get through this time, and having a lovely time before...yea? Mika, on the other hand, needs some major psychological help. With all the crap that goes on with her, sometimes I wonder how she can even get herself up in the morning. I really don't understand how she can still love Hiro after all of this. Comparing her to strong heroines with similar backgrounds like Lisbeth Salander was a HUGE mistake on my part, but really, for a story that so many sing praises about, I expected it and its' characters to be in a league of their own. And they're not.

I think if I had read this a couple years ago when I was in high school the rating would have slightly been different, but I've just seen far too many great tragic mangas/stories/movies/etc... to get emotional about this. I think a lot of appeal of Koizora just depends on where you are in life, so if you're a bit older and want a fantastic romantic tragic manga go read something like Melo-Holic.

*NOTE: I wrote this after I read the novel, watched the drama, and read the manga. *

I haven't actually seen the drama/movie yet so this review is purely based on the manga.

Personally I found it average. The pacing was a bit obscure, I felt the plot was on a fast forward button that left no time to develop an attachment to the main pair and then kind of slowed down up to a point where it was getting near the point of painfully slow. And then it ended on a cliffhanger (though you can see where this is going even without watching the drama or movie).

Actual content wise... personally I felt it got seriously unrealistic. The start of the relationship was quite rushed (perhaps due to the pacing) and I felt like they barely knew each other before she got pregnant.

AND THEN IT GOES HAYWIRE. So okay, she's miscarried and self harmed once and somewhere along the line he works out he's got cancer? Perhaps it could excuse the going back to drugs, but it certainly does not excuse the coercion of Mika to perform sexual acts and burn herself with a cigarette under the ruse of going back together with her and then deciding not to. And bearing in mind he knows his girlfriend has just gone through all this suffering and has previously self harmed so clearly isn't in a strong state - I do not see how it could be 'love' or a need to 'protect her' that drove him to severe the relationship but leaving lingering threads and run off with one of her close friends (well, okay so the friend was kind of there to steal her boyfriend) and just leave her with no explanation. I don't know about you but I think breaking the relationship off in amicable terms would have been fairer. And then the whole being with Yuu and not forgetting about this horrible ex of hers. So okay the manga left it at hinting Hiro is dying but to be honest it seemed Hiro was pretty much a backup character from early on in the story and it seems preposterous that Mika would then break up with Yuu to stick to Hiro after all this pain as I believe the drama or movie portrays it (reading forums). Sure if it was just on amicable terms it's understandable but who would want to get back with that kind of nightmare?

To me there wasn't enough emotion tied to such a complicated plotline. It felt like the author shoved Mika on a road and then flung whatever miserable event she could think of at her without developing any of these occurances or new characters and then tries to link it to the original idea.

Perhaps the movie or drama is better - if I get round to watching it I'll edit this. But certainly this seems like a story that had potential but was kind of mangled along the way.

Like most readers, I had finished both the movie and drama before starting on the manga version. I am an exceptionally huge fan of Koizora and I collect everything possibly linked to this beautiful story. In the beginning, I really didn't like how Mika was in the manga too. She was too ordinary and Hiro was just meaner; both characters differ from what I'd expected. But actually, I'm quite sure this is the ACTUAL version of Koizora (discovered that in the novel versions, which is supposedly the real, correct version of the mobile story).
Haneda had really followed the novel ver. of this, which explains the difference between the movie and drama. The movie is amazing yes but those were 'beautified' versions of Hiro and Mika, where the popular bad boy & and pretty girl gets together. Besides, they can't possibly fit in a whole bunch of missing details in just 2hrs+. I found the manga ver more real, despite the certain brutality, semi-nude scenes and slight long winded-ness. The story still remains as a tear-jerker but it's kinda sad the manga version will pretty much never match up to the highly publicized movie. It's still pretty good though, not the art style but the plot(:

While I haven't read the cellphone novel (because I can't find it in English), I've seen the movie (I attempted to watch the drama, but couldn't get past the second episode). I absolutely love the movie, so I decided to read the manga. Many of the other reviewers have noted a lot of differences between the various adaptations, and I agree that there are many differences, but I don't think they're necessarily bad (although, the coherence of the drama--what I saw of it--could have been better). Mika's characterization is different in the manga, as is Hiro's, in comparison with the movie. I don't think I really have a preference, but the movie is more compelling in general. Still, the manga is worth a read (but watch the movie first, then the drama--if you can sit through it--before reading the manga).

I also was like ":/? this is REAL LIFE!?"...come on in real life people have a little SENSE....

I saw the drama and I did was like 'sht even the mexicans/americans can make a really good RAPE SCENE' (fck they only put the girl screamin' and stuff not so good the way she was, but then again...).

I saw a post in another forum and I read this "he acts in that way 'cuz he have a problem" well...yeah he really does have a problem but -.- ugh...

ugh. it is really unrealistic how the story flows in Koizora--it's choppy and somewhat degrading.

it is SO jacked up how immature Mika is when it comes to dealing with babies...if you are pregnant and get kicked in the stomach DUH, stuffs gonna happen. oh god. jeez. and Hiro acts like everything will be fine or he just doesn't care half of the time. *edit: I just finished the third volume--seriously wtf? Hiro is pretty much an ass in my eyes, no excuses.. I don't get where this story is going and I don't get why it's gotten so many high ratings. I am not enjoying this manga but I'm reading it anyway just to see how much the characters will screw up. I only gave it a six because I'm feeling nice.

Heartbreaking, but could`ve been better

Okay. I reread this again. The movie was okay (really made me cry a bit) but then this, I dunno. The way they put the story together is okay, but theres not much drama as there should be. Their expressions are flat ranging from mild smiles to expressionless tears. Art couldve been a bit better. Most of all, I found the dialogues just ugh. -.- cliche lines and too perfect words. Hiro and Yuus characters and dialogues are just too perfect to be real. Though the Nozomu thing and Mikas friendship with Aya was amazing. Despite it being a romance oriented manga, the thing I found the best was how it is close and relates to real life problems. The slice of life stuff. But the drama and romance? i dont think its portrayed that well in the manga. It doesnt make me tear one bit again (and I rate tragedies by how much they can make me cry no matter how many times I read them) so this is a bit disappointing.
However, I suggest watching the movie. Theres more emotion and you can clearly see and feel the story. The claim that this is a partially true story is a bit unconvincing. Even the worlds greatest true love stories weren`t this shallow and unrealistic enough. Boku Kimi was more convincing.
