Description

Lovesick
Yue lives alone with her 27 year-old step-father, Kouki. She's dating a boy her age... but she can't stop thinking about Kouki. Could it be more than the feelings of relatives?

Includes the following oneshots:
Koukando Equals (extra story in Volume 1)
Kouno has always thought that she was the only one who got hurt deeply when she was bullied. She just might be able to see from the bully's eyes.

Urara, a poor college student, has always been told she is ugly, but that's all about to change when she meets three unexpectedly diverse people, who work together to 'polish' a person into their full capability.

Wow, I didn't even realise that I had completed the manga before I read these comments. That was...pretty abrupt? And just when I was thinking, this is by far the best chapter of this series, then bam! Yue goes back to being childlike again and the mangaka just happily cuts us off from what we expect to happen next with a weird concluding scene. Plot was quite a let-down, but the art was beautiful though.

This story was good, the art is also great the only downside is that it took forever for anything to develop and it was so dramatic that i wanted to skip some parts, but still a good read just wished the ending at least had more development.

A Forbidden Love Story with Depth (Ending Poor)

by MightyMaeve

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

Yue and Kouki are at times the child and at other times the parent for one another. Isn't life like that sometimes?! ^_^ No one can play one role all the time; this manga handles this issue very well.

The characters are multi-dimensional; the dialogue and inner thoughts are deep and grounded in solid psychology. The only thing that was slightly unbelievable was that Yue was TWO times lucky that her bf's were so understanding...or maybe unlucky since they didn't fight for her...

The relationship between the daughter and father is complicated with a very real feeling. The mother, who is already dead at story's beginning, plays an important role, not just a cheap reason to make the relationship 'forbidden'. At the same time, the 'forbidden love' theme is really intense and exciting, even with the quiet sorts of stories that the mangaka weaves that reveal a lot about the depth of their relationship.

She matures slowly as she meets and deals with other people; all in all it was really well delivered as a 'growing up' story without being boring. Simple topics like finding value in cooking and cleaning for the one you love are delivered with great, humanistic impact. Openly complicated issues, such as dealing with death and grief and how each person helps and gives to the other unknowingly are also delivered beautifully.

The pacing was surprisingly fast for this mostly emotion-based story. The art is bishoujo and pretty, smooth and flowing like water. I like my men in shoujo/seinen to be a bit more manly looking than this overly-pretty style, but it was easily overlooked because of the narration excellence.

Until you get to the '2 years later' part...

It is a realistic and interesting solution/answer to their problems, but it was delivered so very fast with so many things unanswered and didn't match the careful delivery of the rest of the story. And there was never an absolution or consummation, which was very disappointing, since the whole story did build to a physical moment that never comes.

Koukando Equals was short, tightly written with a nice little moral, without being dogmatic. Diamonds I didn't read.

PS: Shoujo Magic's inserts often feature a single piece of artwork framed within a coloured background and accompanied by a touching quote. I look forward to these delights!

This was probably the first shoujo manga I read. I agree with the other comments that the story was very cute, but a bit abrupt. The last few chapters were probably the best, but then it just finishes. I would have liked to see a bit more of the two main characters interactions with one another. But on the other hand the story doesn't drag like some other shoujo manga out there. I recommend this to anyone who is after a short shoujo manga.

I would usually think drama manga's like this one would have more depth then what this one has.. every time I think it's becoming juicy it turns silly somehow... Kinda good but missing depth is what I would say this one is like.. Not usually a fan of loose drawings but I actually loved the style in this one.

the mother is passed away.. So with a very attractive young stepfather it's no doubt she would fall for him.. It was to beat around the bush like for me.. Up until the very end.. The love connection was lacking in the way they interacted with each other privately.

this story is somewhat underrated.

"WOW" was all i could say/think!!!

I really liked this one. The art was beautifully done and the story reminded me of my own lovesick days. (Of course the circumstances were way different) All in all a good read.
