I don't know noting about manga I was looking online how to finish my story and I came across this manga when I was on my computer and type good ending. Wow this art and story was nice . It made me feel how the character feel piss off, sad, and happy. The person who did this know what she want ppl to feel when they read this manga. I mean how many said or think it suck but kept on reading it . I went to school thinking how bad I feel for the character and mad sad and happy . I want to write story like this. Good job keep the hard work

A nice break from the usual

I've gone through 25 chapters of this, and I have to admit, it's a pleasant surprise. The protagonist is a twist on the stereotypical shounen romantic comedy lead. Instead of being hilariously (or pathetically) inept and landing in awkward situations for the fanservice after being led around and teased by girls, he's actually found one that decides to help him out. After that, it's as if nearly all the cliches fall away.

In short, this series has elements of realism, or at the least, elements we don't see in normal stuff of this genre.

On a true scale, where 5 is an average, enjoyable series, this is at least a 7 at this point. Hoping to see some more.

downward spiral

Read the one shot, loved it. Read the first thirty chapters, enjoyed them. Everything after that is crap. That's a little harsh, but accurate. We had here a good romance story, nothing groundbreaking but still very good and then the author has to wreck it with pointless drama, pointless story arcs and twists, and most of all pointless relationships. I am almost 100% certain of how it will end, but all this middle stuff is just pissing me off

This series has a strong start. I´m upto chapter seven and the only complaint I have is the cliche ending to that specific chapter. It´s such a false start.

But that aside, the writer has skill in working within the confines of what you´d traditionally expect from a shounen romance while clearly standing out. the characters are like 80 percent real, and only 20 percent cliche. You can say the same for development. Half of the advice is fairly good while some of it seems a bit diluted or worded with a manga cliche in mind.

Update: It's already turning into a huge disappointment. It's not bad if you haven't read many shounen romances or you don't mind them, but I look for the exceptions to the rule. This seemed like a good one at first but it's fallen hard. Plus, once you have three girls at once, it's basically a harem.

nice plot...

at the beginning, one would think of manga like Ichigo 100%, or Suzuka. but as the story progress, you can at the very least distinguish the difference. though still on the chapter 7, but the story so far already give suspense on what will happen next. there's not a lot of manga that give much excitement while waiting for the next release. hopefully the next chapter will satisfy the excitement it had given. but still a good manga.

i'll be looking forward to this. i'll change this post after i read the next chapter.

I read this after a friend recommended it! I'm glad I did. Sure everyone has their opinion of it, but at the end I was smiling and had watery eyes. It was a good read for what the mangaka was trying to do with it. It was more realistic than most mangas, too.

Try it. You might just like it!

Started decently

by EvilTomte

Good character design and seemingly decent story at first...
Then it's just a long downhill slope despite the good premise.
I used to rate this manga an 8, at first, then after around 100 chapters (I kept hope up) I realized that it's just an agonizingly long and strange "romance" story. The main character just agonizes over one thing after the other and is an incredible crybaby, and can never make up his mind. Incredibly weak and stupid.
Not to mention certain plot parts that make no sense what-so-ever, nor do the characters' reactions to them.

I do not recommend this manga, unless you're actually into having an annoying after-taste after each chapter.

5 chapters in..

Just read 5 chapters of it.. and I must say this is pretty good.

The arts pretty, I really like it. But the thing that caught me the most was the development that happened in just 5 chapters. Usually many series tend to start out slow or drag out. The main character starts out as the typical weak protagonist.. but even now he is already developing into a guy with a stronger determination and will, and character development is so so so important.

It's good if you like Drama. Not good if you don't.

Sasuga-sensei is a true master of love triangle. I applaud her ability to create a relate-able male lead despite being a woman herself and her incredible skills to integrate Shoujo elements into a Shounen based manga. But despite all my praise for her, I personally think that her manga is an abomination and the worst I've seen since School Days.

This manga is interesting in the fact that it attacks the audience's moral compass directly. It works its way to the borderline of NTR and gives a unique feeling of angst that you can't get anywhere else. It's that sick feeling to your stomach when you are instinctively repulsive about a topic. But at the same time, your consciousness is allowing yourself to continue reading because it's not actually bad enough to put you off. Girls love this kind of drama. That's why it is used over and over again in Shoujo manga.

Most girls value love more than loyalty. Unlike women, men value loyalty above love. Or rather, for men, loyalty itself is love. To be more specific, what women define as love is really lust and what men define as love is really loyalty. That's why most men like pure and honest girl while most women like the bad and naughty boys. But that's not to say that all men and women are like that.

I can see why a lot of people like GE. It's because some people out there like that kind of drama. I on the other hand, prefer the purity of love. That's why I can't bring myself to like GE.

It's alright I guess...

So I started reading this and was really into the story for the first 40 chapters or so. Then... I don't really know what happened. Maybe I was just getting tired of the pace of the story. Maybe I just wasn't that invested in the characters. Heck maybe I just got tired of the cliches and misunderstandings that seemed to pile up. Whatever it was, I really couldn't stand reading another 100 or so chapters and so I just started skimming over page after page until I reached the end. For what it's worth the title of the story is at least accurate, the ending is indeed a happy one even if it does come across as a bit rushed.

One big issue I had is the same problem I have with many manga around this length, it just felt like the story should have been half as long. While a lot of the drama was actually compelling for the most part, cutting the story in half would have really helped to focus things and make the story feel like less of a slog to get through. I mean I can only hear about Utsumi complain so many times about his love problems that WE ARE ALREADY AWARE OF before I just want to slap the hell out of him.

The characters are a mixed bag. For example while I find Utsumi to be a little TOO spineless at times (especially for a guy who has women hanging all over him) I don't find him to be unrealistic, and he's surprisingly easy to root for. Yuki is also a smart and interesting character (when she's not acting dumb near the end...) and the two make a pretty cute couple when they're actually together. However some of the side characters like Rise, I don't even know why she's in the story. Sure Rise adds in a little bit of romantic tension, but Shou already fills that role and it's not like Utsumi even considers dating Rise for longer than a minute. It's like the mangaka had a good idea for a character design (because I like the way Rise looks to be honest) but didn't exactly know what to do with her other than halfheartedly making her another rival for Utsumi's love.

I'll admit, this manga does have a quality that made me want to keep reading and made it hard to put down at first. After a time though the story is content to just be as mediocre as possible, making up misunderstanding after misunderstanding and making you wish they'd just have sex and get it over with already. Frankly, I recommend reading the oneshot that came before the story proper instead of this because it's 150x shorter and I think is ultimately more satisfying.
