Volume one consists of two unrelated stories about IS, but from volume two and on, the story focuses on one main character, Hoshino Haru. However, though the story is about Haru, many minor characters take turns with narrating their own stories, adding more depth to them and their issues.
Now, maybe I'm just a lame sap, but this was, surprisingly, a bit of a tearjerker for me. It's not like it's uber sad and tragic, it's more like I'm moved by the way the characters change and understand each other.
What else? It gets a little preachy and repetitive sometimes, but try to muddle onwards. This is a surprisingly good character-driven series. I'm disappointed JanimeS decided not to continue with it.

It's intresting, i like intresting stories, it's a change in the usual manga we read alot so i'll give it 10, I hope they make more intresting mangas, like say a long shoujo manga with an IS main character, or a shonen one.

Well it is a fiction and one should read it as such, if someone wants to learn more about actual I.S. there is always wiki. Apart for that it is really nice to have a manga like this, the art might not be very good but the plot is solid and enjoyable.

freaky................Scary.............interesting...........however this is a fictional manga. Some parts of the manga must be questioned. As I feel they portray inadequately and inaccurately of what people with IS really are.
I don't understand why people like this manga so much......it's kind of creepy.......
One in every 2000 people is IS? that is a fact to be questioned.
And by the way, do not truth Wiki completely. Wiki's data can be changed by any registered user. For more info on IS, go to websites that end with .org .gov .edu
Of course, this manga is still freakish to read.

At first I thought this might be some sort of yaoi manga in disguise but it's not. It seems to be pretty good so far
This is very nice! I checked it out of curiosity, and it paid. I recommend it to you all. There are some sugar-coated parts, but it's well built on the whole and drawings are cutie nice. Janimes started off with volume 2.
I noticed this manga when I bought Kiss magazine. The story is interesting deals with realistic problem but rarely appear in people concern. Truthfully I didn't know about IS problem until I saw that manga. It did catch my interest but too bad the Japanese version doesn't have furigana so I don't dare to buy it since I won't be able to understand.
