Description
Kentarou is a plain, nondescript college student who has never had a girlfriend or any friends. After getting hit on the head by a wayward ball, he begins to notice that there are increasingly long periods of time in which he cannot remember what he was doing.
One afternoon, he regains consciousness in an apartment he'd never been to before - and sitting next to him is a young man who then tells him "You're being possessed by the spirit of my dead girlfriend"...

Altough it's confusing me, but it's cute and sweet. My mind is blank just because this manga.
Touching but confusing! Cute but weird! Funny but calm! Can't be expressed in words! ^_^
I will give this 10 even though i don't know why but i my mind and my heart say i have to..hehe

...too short to make a lasting impact. Also, the only character who has any semblance of personality is the girlfriend. The two protagonists are rather plain and uninteresting.
I don't see any reason for the blond boy to have fallen for the brunet one considering how he was obviously very much in love with his girlfriend beforehand. (And she was such a pretty, fun girl too...what a shame she had to die!) In that sense, leaving the two boys' relationship unresolved was a smart decision on the mangaka's part; since any actual expressions of affection would have been too abrupt and unrealistic.
Also, the twist at the end (while nice) was too hastily executed to feel quite right. In a slow-paced, slice-of-life-themed story, such abrupt revelations don't work too well.
Despite these flaws, there is a pure, chaste, melancholy feeling permeating throughout and the characters are fairly easy to feel at least slightly fond of -- both features that are rare enough in the BL of today.
Ikemen-kun to Saenai-kun is far from being the most brilliant shounen-ai manga ever written, but it's a rather charming little love story and definitely not a waste of the half-hour spent reading it.
