first, i find this manga quite interesting, the main girl is not like some kind of stupid girl i usually see in shoujo. But as i keep moving on, i'm tired of the main couple, the main girl is just so so so dense that i become to get bored of this manga. So if you're looking for manga to kill time, then read this. Read only for fun!
Wonderful

I really liked the manga. It is detailed and has a pretty plot. I really, really like this manga, because I almost become attached to every good mangaka's works. (I wonder why...) This manga is recommended to everyone, because that's how good it is. I also really like the drawing style. It's pretty, but not that complicated as some other mangas, and that the people aren't like: tiny heads, huge eyes and huge blush. I really hate those type of manga, especially if it was chibi.
There are also other good shoujo mangas. They include: Help!!, Beauty Pop, Faster than a Kiss, and Mademoiselle Butterfly. (All the manga listed above is recommended. Only Special A is in anime, though. Too bad...) These are only a few of all the really great shoujo mangas in the world though.

with the whole rivalry love affair, it's sooo cute. and i know people hate seeing the anime or movie version, and then go back to reading the manga... but i find that it's helpful to have a more colorful and auditory image of the characters while reading the manga.
after scouring the internet for some time... i've realized that scanlations go up to chp37, chinese versions go up to chp66 on the site i saw it on (but that doesnt help me), and where raw japanese scans are freely obtainble, only up to vol 13, or chp 75. to acquire the ones up to 85, or 86 by july 19... one must do so much more legwork.
i havent been a huge manga reader compared to anime viewer, but i have noticed it's so much harder to secure ALL manga esp when lots of people try to keep it hidden.
the only thing i can hope for is that i can get thru to further read the current 10/11 chapters that are hidden by privacy.

Okay, I dropped this manga, because the heroine started to annoy me. Mainly because... she's just so dense?! God, I really hate that in shoujo manga, I mean
AND, the characters start to get boring at some time. At first they were funny and cute and stuff. But later on, you start to realize that they just stay the same. Everything stays the same. There's no plot, no charachter development. And the only thing the main character cares about, is fun fun fun, be first! Yeah, that's quite a must read... not. This manga is highly-overrated imo.

He kissed her 3 times, I don't know if it's gotten worse, but he kissed her 3 times by the time I dropped it

classic example of the author taking a good story and dragging it out way too much. Stories like this one should be finished around 10 volumes.
Also, writers need to understand the difference between having the readers learn more about the characters, and characters developing over time. Unfortunately, this series has yet to show any character progression. Started off well, failing at the end.
*edit* oh, and for the love of god, someone show this mangaka how to draw a different face. By the 3rd volume, I couldn't tell who was who, even when someone spoke their name.

The artwork is really good and a bit unique. Although people say the main girl is just so dense, I like how she develops. Takishima is such a cute character... heheh.
About the plot.. To me, it was good in the beginning... but lagged in the middle.. So I took a break from reading.. But I continued and it got better.. in my opinion, it did. It might seem slow, but it does progress and I'm really on the edge for new chapters. It's a good manga ♥

This series started off pretty well, interesting plot, cool characters. But after a while, it just got boring and draggy. Hikari is too dense. It's getting annoying. However, like I said, it's still overall an okay manga.
Reminds me of Mount Everest...

The series starts out as so-so, rapidly increasing it's entertainment value for the next thirty chapters or so. Then it starts going the hill--er, mountain--with the heroine becomingly increasingly annoying, loud-mouthed, typical, and nosy. And you start to wonder why the princely knight in shining armor should end up with this "fun! fun! fun! happy wappy dappy yappy!" commoner. And then random side romances and idiots pop out of nowhere. I've found it more exciting and amusing to go up the mountain than to plunge down from its peak. Thank goodness it's currently still bearable to read, though I can't say for the future.

well, i some kinda agree with some of the recent comments...
It really is one of the best, but he longer it goes, I grew tired of it...
Somehow, because I'm curious of what will happen to both Hikari and Kei, I'll be looking out for it!

In my opinion, this manga is definitely a must read. Good storyline and plot. And it's not some shoujo cliche where everyone falls in love with the girl. Eventhough the love story is a little bit slow but i think everyone will enjoy seeing how Kei show his feeling to Hikari. It's sooo cute~~!
