Highly recommended

by Tick the Hero

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I think that it is a bit too long and thats why the story is a bit loose and rushed in the end but it really ends nicely. It is nothing to compare to any shoujo manga: I was smiling and sad while reading it. It has a bit too complicated with all those triangles and has some contraversal plot points but it is much more realistic and mature than what you usually read in school manga.

Anyway I recommend you to try and read it: I really like how MC grows and matures through the series.

Frustrating experience

by Atriel
11 years ago

Rating: N/A

For a story that had (at the beginning-mid part) some relatively mature themes, I'm surprised by how immature it is overall. I'm not sure if the author even knew what s/he was going for, or what he wanted to convey through the story. There's a lot of unnecessary drama, filler characters, and filler chapters.

The thing is, it manages to catch your attention enough to keep reading, even when you're frustrated at what you're reading. Even when you know it's awful, you keep going. HoneyDippedLemons' comment just 5 or so below mine is a very accurate one, and I feel like I wasted my time with this. Though I wouldn't say that the characters are bland and boring, they are so stupid to the point of being unreal. While Yuki's character at the beginning was interesting, smart, and felt real, she ends up as a stupid kid that frustrated me to no end together with Seiji.

All in all, the manga should've ended around chapter 100 or so, maybe a bit more (or less if you remove the fillers), while keeping steady progress with the events in chapter 87, it had a lot of growth potential. For how much attention Yuki's trauma got during the story, it's interesting that it's never shown how she resolved it either other than letting the reader guess with a rushed ending.

Don't bother. The frustration and time consumed are not worth it. Unless you have tons and tons of free time I guess.

Retardation

by ahuman
13 years ago

Rating: N/A

My father once told me when I was little that the definition of retardation is doing something over and over and expecting different results. (e.g. Banging your head against a wall and expecting it not to hurt over and over) I was enjoying this manga for awhile but I found the constant building and resetting of the characters relations to be actually pretty annoying. Not to mention random love interests that pop up out of nowhere and unneeded melodrama. The story really seems to be going nowhere fast and I think I will save myself some brain damage and stop reading...

Perhaps in the future I will look this up and read the spoilers on the ending but this manga is just too much.

Nice

Im very fond of this Manga, and although it's a common romance story, it's still a very good one in it's genre. Well the main char sure is indecisive but thats quite usual in romance mangas. Again, the story is great with much diversity in romance, drama and of course comedy. It's kind of realisitc (speaking in manga terms..) and the art is very decent.
Highly recommendes to everyone who is into this genre.

Starts out good, then turns into a fanservice infested harem

by Celianna
15 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Good Ending starts out great. We have a guy (Utsumi) who's insecure about himself, and he's got a crush on this girl who plays tennis. She's really nice, which is why he likes her. Another girl, Yuki, can tell Utsumi likes the tennis girl, so she decides to help him overcome his insecurities and help them get together.

Utsumi joins the tennis club, and finally gets to talk to his crush. They talk, they have fun, they even go on a sort of date because Yuki was pushing Utsumi to do it. However, when he finally confesses, she rejects him, saying she already has someone she likes.

Utsumi then directs his affections to Yuki, the girl who helped him get together with the tennis girl. He realizes he loves Yuki, and wants to be with her, but doesn't know how to tell her.

This is where Good Ending becomes Endless Bad Ending.

Suddenly not only does Yuki secretly like Utsumi as well, but some big breasted bimbo has set her heart on concurring Utsumi by literally raping him, and the tennis girl has a change of hearts and likes Utsumi now as well. All these girls like him, and even though Utsumi said he loved Yuki, he can be so easily manipulated by the big breasted bimbo and the tennis girl. Both times he wanted to have sex with them (and would have if they weren't interrupted), even though he apparently loves Yuki.

This manga just endlessly cycles through the same damn formula again and again, and keeps adding more people that want to throw themselves at Utsumi (turned into a harem). I guess that's what you get for being a shonen romance manga. I have given up hope that it will turn out good, because this isn't worth saving anymore. It started out great, but it definitely left a bad aftertaste in my mouth.

True true

Rating: 7.1 / 10.0

In agreement with Kouta; this manga is a bit deviant of its genre, but in a good sense. It is true that when the manga at its first chapters, the protagonist is as wimp as one could be (= big turn off). But only in few chapters later, thanks to reasonable development (read: isn't dragged on), the protagonist turn out to be so much better. The story of one male with several females in about-to-be romantic term never been this enjoyable.

(true that this genre has a lot of potentials that haven't been exploited, but for few years to come, GE can be said to be the best)

Don't worry about the weakling....

by iamssjvash

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Though he's horribly weak in the beginning, I feel he makes progress fast, and his later bouts of self loathing are far less annoying and mostly just comic relief.... By chapter 5 he shows severe improvement, and I love the art for this story, so compounded with the other unique characters, I'm going to ride this one out since it looks good....

"The first part was really good. it does downhill from there but it has its moments. I didn't like how they just introduced new characters just for the sake of plot devices. Mostly though THAT ENDING! wtf was that. I have to assume they had no idea how to end the series and just went with something they thought up. the way they resolved

the touro / yuki issue and seiji getting back together with yuki was sooooo underwhelming after all that build up. and then the final issue to overcome was some random shit with her parents that we didn't hear about until the last few chapters. and then the time leap to 10 years in the future? didn't like it at all"

It was okay

by nonightshades

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

This series was super dramatic, and I honestly believe that a lot of the "issues" that the characters faced could have been solved much sooner with a simple conversation. But, meh... The MC is also a little idiot; just thought I'd throw that out there. So aside from those two things, there really isn't much I can say about this series that won't spoil things completely for potential readers other than this: if you're not a fan of drama or things being drawn out for days, I suggest you not read this one. If you don't mind, then do give it a try. I'm not really a fan of drama, at least, not the drawn out kind, so more parts of GE annoyed me than they probably should have.

Oh, and as far as who the MC ended up with, well, all I have to say is that if you read the one shot (which came before the series), the girl that he picks in the end is a no-brainer. This is especially considering the fact that the series literally just expands on the premise of the one shot. I never questioned who he'd end up with for a second, tbh.

Value

by Silvergoku

The manga overall is a very good read. It will hold your attention through each chapter wanting to read the next. I did notice many similarities to Kimagure Orange Road which a big plus if you ask me as manga today are mostly eye candy. The manga primarily focuses on romance, drama, love triangles and the pain that comes with each decision. My only gripe is the ending which was very good, but I wish it wasn't rushed and done in 2 chapters only as it is not fitting for a 16 volume manga. However even if it rushed, everything is complete, no loose ends remaining and there is even a time gap for those like me who look forward to such things.
