I love reading books, and getting engrossed in stories. I've read enough mangas that I can pretty easily predict what will happen, and yet, every chapter, there was some little twist that I didn't completely expect. Although the general plot is much like that of other manga's like it, this story gave me so much joy.
This is the first manga to make be laugh so much, and the first manga to make me cry at all. In the final few chapters, I couldn't help crying and smiling at the same time, and this is the first manga where the last chapter truly felt like the end of the story.
The heroine is sorta the typical idiotic shojo idiot girl, and yet, she's not. There's depth to the story, and all the characters have a full embodiment and have three dimensionals to their personalities, instead of just one dimensional background characters.
I'm crying and smiling just thinking about it. I just want to continue living in this happiness produced from this beautiful story.

The end of SA was just released, thanks so much! However... as my personal comment, I felt... cheated. Is this really shoujo? Come to think of it, no development was made the whole time this series started. From start to end, Hikari wants to defear Kei. All in all, the romance in this series is... 1 over ten (ten being the highest). Their characters are weird. I will not read it again.
So much fun reading this

It wasn't a waste of time to me because I enjoyed it.
I laughed at the silly things they did,
enjoyed reading about each of the characters,
and felt sad that it ended.
Well, people do have different preferences.

Started off kinda funny, but like starstruck said, it just lost it's touch. And I don't know what happened towards the end.. It felt like every story was just cut off, none of them had any flow in them.. Shame..

well... you can expect Hikari's personality to be too dense to ever come around. Kei will be as patient as the 'thinking man'. so we'll watch the side characters relationships progress while frustrating ourselves wondering why Hikari and Kei can remain so stagnant despite all the romantic traps and insinuations.
There's a limit to densness... Hikari has surpassed that.
but... she doesn't cry and whine like most typical shoujo heroines. although she definitely has a one-track mind that needs to be erased... still.. at least not a whiny crier.

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
