so, it had a promising start. I was actually enjoying what I was reading but everytime a new chapter starts, I feel like I'm missing bits of pieces. epecially the last chapter. It left me wondering as to how stuff happend and why didn't the manga ellaborate more the complex of the story. And the ending was one of the type of endings that I hated. I don't prefer open endings which will just let me imagine what really happen to them.

loved it

I loved this manga because it brought out emotions in me, i could totally empathize with the characters. I agree with bluesonnet, i think the lenght of the whole story is just right, because it's true that people don't normally have turning points in their lifes three times a week. I can't really explain it, but i just fell in love with this story, thought the last chapter had me almost crying, i think it's because things weren't going towards the happy ending and the almost three years where about to end and the charcters would have to start from scrach.

I felt so sad when Shindou breaked up with China, as the same character says, if she hadn't noticed that she loved Haruka she could have countinued to be happy with Shindou. It just makes me feel sad for Shindou, who really loved her, and China, who couldn't help but realize her own feelings, and also the situasion, which could have been different if she had noticed before. All in all i think all this experience helped them grow immensely.

Just really sad! :'(

HOPE SOME GROUP TAKES THE SEQUEL!!!
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! 🙁

Nicely done.

The art is alright. It's pretty, and not fluffy. Classic Margaret-style art.

But the strong point of this manga is the story. It's a love story that everybody's encountered before. Boy A likes girl, girl likes Boy B, Boy B likes girl. A love triangle. But there's a more realistic twist to the story.

It shows how people gradually just...move on. Not all of us stay perpetually in love with that one person, as is shown in many other shoujos. Instead, we see people moving on, growing up. Relationships change. People learn to accept.

It's a lovely story that unfolds, a classic story that many of us have heard the likes of before.

A more realisitic love story

by Fronzel

Nothing amazing really, but it does scrupulously refuse to present the heroine with a convenient reality; things are more complicated, difficult, and accidental, instead. Given shoujo love stories’ strong pull toward wish-fulfillment fantasy, this should be appreciated.

it's too realistic that i want to throw the pc when i read it... i'm the type of person who's into happy ending or both the protagonist end up w/ eachother or it's okay if they died together but i absolutely hate when they go their separate ways.. >-< T_T

i'm sorry that's just my opinion... read it first, don't let the comments affect you :)

It's even hard rating this manga because I feel exactly like asashou. I just didn't know what to think when finished it. It's so real that it's scaring. The mangaka portrays perfectly how timing changes everything and how choices that seem small at the moment can turn out REAL big. It's heart aching watching how the character getting together with someone pulled her away from another and there was no real turning back. We get to see that she gets to talk to the other guy again, but not as much as before.

Ah... This was a nice read. A simple, bittersweet high school romance, but well-executed. Even though China is confused about how to react, she doesn't appear annoying or irritatingly selfish. It's nicely balanced. The art matches the story well.

leaves you speechless

this manga leaves you with a feeling you can't describe with words. even though, the flow of the story was normal and the end was somehow natural, you just feel a sore in your throat that the end is the complete opposite of what you expected. the end wasn't supposed to be a sad ending, but still, when i finished reading the manga, i started wondering "what if" many times.

This was a very realistic portrayal of a love story, the likes of which many of us may have experienced before. People keep falling into and out of love. People move on and find another purpose to their lives when they are rejected or get out of a relationship. Our entire existence does not have to focus on a single person. We can be happy and successful even while being single. And that, I think, was the purpose of this story. I appreciated it, but I can't help feeling bad for Shindou.

Bad timing in love

This was a good unresolved romance. Both the China and Haruka came to realize their love too late when each is already taken.

I wish this was longer. That both of them will be able to find in each others arms later, as if it is fated them to be.
