Very Typical shoujo but still cute

by AbbyAW

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

Overall i liked reading this. It was different than i imagined it to be, but in a cute way. All the characters are loveable and the storyline down the road dug into more complex issues which i wasnt expecting. Uru, i dont know why but she reminds me of Tohru, you cant help but love her and want to protect her (even if she probably doesnt need it with that incredible strength of hers) xD

I really love both Shindou and Ichirou and knew from the start who she would end up with. Its a shame it really wasnt Ichirou though since I felt they had a strong chemistry with another and even more interaction but at the same time Im not disappointed she didnt end up with him (maybe since I already knew from the start). Im a little upset though you didnt get to see Uru and Shindou kiss in the end! :( Everything was pretty rush and i felt it wouldve had a better close with all the other characters if it were just another volume longer.

I didnt like how the author, even after three years, had all the other guys STILL in love with Uru. I only wished even if there wasnt another girl in the picture for all of them at least have them over and happy for her instead of still aiming for Uru when she's already in a relationship. But its OK I made up my own story for them all anyway with a very good ending. especially Ichirou T,T

I love how this manga starts off completely pure and innocent, but has a slight dark side to the story. It was nice to read a manga that isn't always happy. I kinda wished that there was a little more darkness to it though to bring a little more realism.

Every single character is somehow related to one another, as well the events that occurred in the manga. It makes the story really predictable.. so that was a turn off for me.

The one thing I did not like..were the romantic developments.. They were kind of awkward and a little choppy, especially Shindou and Uru's. It felt like it was just missing a few monologues/dialogues. Actually some parts of the story were a bit awkward, but it's still pretty good. After a couple of chapters, it didn't really have a main plot, it just introduced more characters with mini stories. Then it gradually started having a plot after some character appearances since they all have a connection to one another. It all started to make sense

and everything was resolved, but the last chapter was disappointing..especially since you don't get to see Shindou's face at all. -_____-" And the fact that Ichirou, Kenshi, Sou, and Tsukishiro are all still stuck in a one sided love after 3 years is depressing! You'd think at least two of them would move on. We also never got to see more about the Manager and his life, is it supposed to stay as a mystery forever? GAH! THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS LEFT UNKNOWN. /sobs The ending was rushed, and left me wanting more..

Overall, I love this story and my rating is a bit bias. I also really love how Matsuzuki drew their expressions though, it's so adorably funny. :3

I absolutely adore this, the characters are wonderful, the plot is really enjoyable and it's innocent and cute. I love this. Please read it!

I loved this manga. It had me laughing every chapter. It was possibly one of the best manga I've ever read.

But I wish the author would've included some love interests that actually stood a chance. Because it was pretty obvious who Uru was going to end up with.

When Uru turned Sou down, and he cried, my heart broke into little pieces. Some little part of me was hoping she'd be with him. But If she doesn't want him, I will gladly take him for myself.

The ending was so rushed. I hated it. It's like she wrapped up this amazing book in less than a chapter. The time skip was done so wrong. You don't get a glimpse of their married life, or get to see their children. I was kinda ticked off. Because of that I had to knock a point off.

At the end of the day, It was a really good book. I would recommend it to any of my friends.

Awesome manga. Questionable ending.

I still can't believe that it's actually over.
Mind you, when I say this I'm only half meaning it in terms of "It was so good that I didnt want it to end!"

Because yeah, I didnt want it to end. But I guess the mangaka did. The conclusion of the manga was very rushed, to the point where the things occurring were not even allowed to settle in before we were thrown into something else. Some things were never even settled in the first place but were conveniently forgotten as the story neared it's end. Despite this, I really did like this manga. It even had my most despised type of ending,

Talk about cliche. The guy has to go abroad. Girl says she'll wait for him. Horribly transitioned time skip. Guy appears when girl is thinking about him. Guy and girl hug/kiss/run towards one another. End. But I decided that this was a special case since I liked it enough. It's definitely something I'd recommend to read.

Well i thought people were exaggerating about Uru, but it's turns out she is quite cute, in a non annoying way. I can actually see why the guys would be falling for her. Her most charming feature is her strength, she's no damsel in distress, if anything she's the knight who comes to the rescue.LOL

I like the bit of humor that zips into the chapters, along with the glimpses about their family background and such. It's impressive that the series stayed good throughout so many volumes! My favorite part was how there was an underlying mystery or secret, where we got certain clues in every volume, but not knowing everything 100% until towards the end.

Frickin' Awesome!! Recommended!

I loved it! Absolutely adored it!
It had a great plot, had great characters and it was frickin' hilarious!
I adored Uru, Ichirou and Shindou! Ichirou's kid brother was awesome too! Actually, let's just surmise that I loved the entire cast in the series.
...Maybe excluding the old woman,, who was she again? Shindou's grandmother or something...? I forgot.
Ignoring my praising words, I was, however, disappointed in the fact that the mangaka gave Uru unneeded (in my opinion) love interests. Ichirou was already fine as he was. Sou..alright, I could make an exception for Sou.
It was still good, though. Didn't bring it down, but the ending bits made me sigh in (mild) frustration.

I mean, did Ichirou really have to still be in love with her THREE years later?! Sure, unrequited love and all, but what ever happened to the first step of moving on?

Just finished this not long ago, and I must say the author has done a great job with the story line until the end. Not quite satisfied for me as it seemed quite rushed in my opinion. But other than that, everything else was just nicely paced out. I would rate this a 10 if the end was wrapped up better!

The story was super cute and light and fluffy

in the beginning and funny and everything else. I loved every character. I <3 uru. She's super cute that at some point, I found myself hating her for being too cute (bitter much?). I <3 Ichirou too. Anyway, why didn't I give it a perfect rating? That's because ! this manga had me so depressed when everything got dark and all the secrets were revealed. I felt so sad for uru. T.T . I fell in love with Abekawa Sou <3. He's so kawaii :3 I felt so bad for him (even though readers could probably guess from the start he's not gonna be the lead male :/ ) Oh well, if uru won't have him, I'll take him anytime. XD The only thing I didn't like in this manga is how everyone will forever love uru. Literally. Don't they deserve someone else? I understand how they'd give up everything for the girl they love *(that's for you Ichirou!) * but that's just too sad knowing that it'll always be a one-side love. 🙁 (((((((((

Don't get me wrong though, this manga is AWESOME \m/. It'll get you ROTFL especially Ichirou (Banzai! Spin! And pose!).

Note: i don't recommend this those who get too attached to the guy who will never be the lead male. It's heartbreaking. Srsly.

Adorable and funny

by Lu-chan

Rating: 9.2 / 10.0

The story lagged for a while and the ending was rushed but I spent such good times reading this manga, it was often funny, at times hilarious and always sweet.

The characters are total weirdos far from the clichés and all the more likable and personable for it: Uru has freaky strength and reassures people who point out that she's sitting with her legs wide open while wearing a skirt that "it's ok, she's wearing underwear", Shindou is hot-headed and unsociable and really likes to hit people, and Ichirou is an expressionless guy who falls asleep when he's hungry and can only be woken up by having food shoved in his mouth.

I'm not usually one for fluff but this was really adorable, most of the recurring gags still had me laughing (literally out loud!) even after the umpteenth time the sense of timing was that good, and the chibi faces were simply excellent.

The multiplication of love interests was a bit too much and unnecessary

especially concerning Ichirou, his character was already fleshed out and interesting he didn't need to be the 100th guy inexplicably in love with Uru, especially as he ended up being reduced to only that by the end (I'll also never get over his new haircut, his ruffled hair looked so great ^^') just like the weird ~drama in the end.
That what little plot there was was simplistic and focused on a few characters + extras was what made the manga's charm, too bad the author lost sight of that towards the end to release more volumes.

Still, it's the kind of lighthearted, feel-good read that'll lift your spirits, make you smile and laugh, your very own Café Bonheur 🙂
