I think the author tried to make the series too depressing. I know she was trying to make a point that the world is bad, you just have to live through it but she exaggerated greatly and in the process made the manga to annoyingly depressing. The worst part is that there was no light at the end of the tunnel to give readers hope that their live would get better because they chose to keep living. It was just horrible misfortune after horrible misfortune up until the end. In the end the characters were left with nothing.... It completely contradicted the whole point of the story and the last bit the author wrote about hope and blah blah.

I get that the author wants to show the readers that life isn't easy but i think she went to far (I mean very far). Real life maybe like shit but it's not that bad I mean first she gets raped and then the guy she loves leaves her the her daughter becomes blind then her co-worker gets killed then she gets back with the guy she loves(the only happy thing) then the guy gets killed. I know that real life maybe like that sometimes but it's like a one in a million chance. All in all it's not a bad manga.

This story was heartbreaking..
I thought Ayu had it rough and had such a terrible experience and to have her life ended so soon before she cudd meet her love again..
But I nevaa thought Reina's life wudd be so miserable.
What Reina felt was so shocking and terrible, and that boss was such a dikhead and a fukcunt alright, i wish he got shot..
I feel terrible. Reina i think is the one who suffered the most in aftermaths in the whole Deep Love Series. First she gets raped in a karaoke bar for doing what her friend does only because she wanted to understand Ayu more. Then her best friend who has helped her pull through dies trying to save her love on Christmas Day. She gives birth and names her child after her best friend whom she misses so much. She finds love with a terrific guy but he backs down when she says she was raped and has a child with an unknown father. She misunderstands the guy she loved who actually loves her so much and wants things to work out and ignores him. She wasn't careful and let her child get hurt and go blind. She needs to make money and stop relying on her poor health mother and does sex-related jobs. She turns down her love twice. Her daughter dies while she isnt there in the hands of her own cousin(though accident). She gets tortured by her boss. She's hurt and feels terrible but then her new friend helps her run away frm the boss. She goes back to confess to her love. They kiss and want to start over. At the same time she is worried bout her friend and so her love tells her that he'll check up on them. He gets killed trying to protect Reina ALL IN THE SAME DAY TheY GET TOGETHER AGAIN. The boss takes her and rapes her over and over and over. She's finally saved by her deceased best friend's lover who tells her the information of the dead daughter. He lives with her to help her and support her as both of them have lost their love in such a terrible way.
I'm glad Yoshiyuki is looking after her now because there probably wudnt have been anyone betta.

ii dont think they love each other but they have moral support so it was a happy ending..

I’ve heard that the Deep Love series is a very good, relatively realistic and is a good read, but after picking up the first two chapters of this I can’t say I’m very interested. Normally, I’m inclined to finish series I don't really like simply because I just want to see how it ends, but I didn’t feel any inclination to beyond the second chapter. The art was lovely, but I felt that the story became increasingly melodramatic, to the point it simply became a farce. Yes, I'm not a really teary girl…

The initial chapter was quite good, it was fairly decent story wise, but from the second chapter, more and more tragic things keep on happening, one after another. I did sympathise with Reina, because the events aren’t improbable but are very unlikely all happen to one poor person… I thought little Ayu falling down the stairs and going blind, was a terrible plot device… Also, Reina seemed a little too naive for someone in her situation, and a overly enthusiastic (at first) about her new part time job.

With regular shoujo, I have fairly low expectations because I expect it to be frivolous and clichéd (but fun) drivel, but for josei I tend to expect something more mature and thought out. I honestly couldn’t imagine reading the entire Deep Love series based on this, the whole series just seems a little too over the top for me but we definitely appeal to those looking for a good cry.

after reading, ayu's story, host and this one. I think the bad happenings are kind of overused. It's really like the author reaally wants to make you cry. I did shed a few tears, but I was not overly impressed by it. After someone befriends someone, that someone will die. And the prostitution thing is used a lot. I don't really like it much. I enjoyed Confidential Confessions more. I give it a 6.

I've seen reviews about certain things here, that would be cleared up if those were to read the other stories. Like with little Ayu going blind,

She didn't go blind from the stairs, I have no clue if it was mentioned in this story at all(Probably not), but she went blind during the surgery because the doctor was drunk. It says this during Deep Love: Host.

Just really wanted to clear that up, I really love this series and love how well everything lines up.

The idiocy concludes.

Aaand we're back to this story being the irritating kind of stupid like in Ayu no Monogatari, rather than the amusing kind in Host. This time it's Reina's turn for more suffering, and the stupidity is in spades as everyone continues making decisions that go against basic common sense.

However, I will commend the author for giving at least SOME depth to this by showing Reina struggling to find a job to support herself and Ayu...which only makes it more disappointing when the story, once again, devolves into misery porn. Like in Host, Ayu is no more than a plot device; she gets a few cute scenes with Reina, but most of the time is wasted on the would-be savior/boyfriend Akira, who then goes on to become a martyr for absolutely nothing.

I actually cackled when Yoshiyuki grabbed the boss's gun, like he did with the knife in Host. Somehow, his bland ass can intimidate people who kidnap and rape women.

What could've been a nice story about Reina coming to terms with her role as a mother, ends up as cheap melodrama instead, and I'm starting to think that the author likes writing about women being abused. And, through it all, we have the all-too-familiar dumb commentary boxes that reiterate what we just saw, because, in a manga where characters are graphically raped and killed, we readers need to be told what basic emotions are.

So sad...

by Kinky-Chan

What a sad manga. It brought me to tears! I'm quite happy that Yoshiyuki is looking after Reina, although they're not in love. I even cried when Akira died.Just when they're together and he's gone like that. I noticed that in this "Deep Love" series, it's all about selling body and dying. It's like it's giving us some warning that if we do this kind of things, we're gonna end up like the main characters which I think it's true. It's reality after all. But I can't deal with the main characters dying! Not to mention that they're so handsome and pretty. But overall, it's a very good manga. Sad, but good. It's not something that I would re-read (just in case I cry again) but it's definitely a manga that you have to read.

So depressing

dayum this author must be hardout cynical. Is it possible for any person to go through something as harsh as this girl went through, comeon surely the world cannot be that bad. Where is the hope? Damn so depressing, i regret reading this one man, shiyt. The only thing it does, is perhaps make u the reader happy with the life you have cus there is no way it cud be worse than the life this girl has.
