For a manga that meta-references it's own genre, you'd think it'd be a bit more self-aware.

The manga starts out with you being able to justify Miku's actions: there is a lot of change and she's adjusting. But then, you can't. She becomes super moody and doubts that her boyfriend it being "boyfriend" enough just because she saw Souhei and Miyu being lovey-dovey. On the contrary, her poor, poor boyfriend seems like a genuinely good guy and it'll probably piss you off (or at least leave a terrible taste in your mouth) how she treated him.

The main leads seem to like each other for no reason and it irritates the hell out of me. There is no development. If she had a crush on him for a while, or in middle school, or in freakin' elementary school, then he moved in and all his stuff happens, it's be more understandable. However, they're relationship goes from zero to sixty in like five chapters. I'm pretty lenient to shoujo manga considering it's the bulk of what I read but for this one just spare yourself the headache and the confusion and don't bother.

Honestly, this story wasn't that great. I skimmed/read (more like skimmed) to the end and it was just one of those typical but terrible shoujo (no offense to others who like it). There's alot of issues with the characterizations, especially Miku. She's a pretty selfish girl, always feeling jealous of others and thinking badly of them, especially towards Miyu. I don't know why she fell in love with Sou because Sou doesn't have any attractive features and his personality was just bleh. For one, I hated her because she dumbed her boyfriend even though he was pretty nice (felt so bad for him) and lusted after another boy who had a girlfriend. But, Sou is also in the wrong. I don't mind love triangles, of course, makes it all the more interesting but this....eh, just wasn't it.

Overall, it was boring for me. The art style was nice so that kept me going as well as her other two boarders (i like them~ otaku boy haha).

When I was reading sprout, I always felt like there was something missing. Personally, the main character-miku- doesn’t irritate/annoy me and in a way, I do find her quite relatable in terms of these supposedly quite “ugly” emotions of bitterness and jealousy. She reflects the realistic teenager more than most shoujo mangas do. However, Ido feel that she is sometimes quite irrational, and sometimes I do have to think twice about why shes crying, or why is Katoaka san-whatever her boyfriend is called- and Nakahashi are in a near brawl, especially since its so close to the beginning of the manga. All the actions of the characters seem a bit extreme and angst-y. What seems to be missing are those fleeting, cute and nostalgic first meeting moments between Miku and Nakahasi. I may be a little bias when it comes to first meetings between characters, because that's usually my favourite part of any manga, but I feel like this manga just misses out on the development of Miku’s feelings for the main hero, and delves straight for the negative feelings afterwards . I mean, we’ve never really seen both of them interact happily, and there really isn’t a build up of emotions to show why Miku likes Nakahashi so much. Well, that's just my take on it.

overall, i thought it was cute, but i wouldnt read it again. it wasnt a very unique plot & a lot of it revolved around just pure drama, but the characters were cute & there was a lot of parts that just made you smile (:

what just happened..

It's fine. It's just that I find it so irritating that Miyu ditched her boyfriend so as to confess to that guy who has a girlfriend, already. Her ex seems okay and more mature.

well, initially you might become interest, but then you become bored to death. Miku is just jealousy of Sou and Miyu relationship and that's all, because dosen't have any other motive for her fell for Sou, really. She's a stupid selfish girl, i really hated her, the entire manga she lusted after another boy who had a girlfriend and dumped her pretty decent boyfrend, that she definitely don't deserve.

Decent art.

i don't understand the reason why does she (Miku) like Sou..?
the story is not poor written or too typical for shoujo manga, standard arts. I don't know. why.. but i can't like this manga nor i hate it.
=.=
may be i call it boring..

HAHA umm this manga was cute but cmon.. it had so much potential but the ending seemed so rushed and some "wtf" moments especially with Miyu near the end.. that was pretty lame and random. over all, love the art, story coulda been great and it was alright

it's just.. okay but forgettable.. it could've been better and yeah Miku kind of annoyed me too >~<
well at least it's got a happy ending.
also, I find it a bit slow, love the drawing though & if you don't have anything else to read, then this should be fine.
