Funny but gets tiring

Chapters 1-50ish were really funny and were a great joy to read. I could not stop reading and even stayed up late just to read until my eyes burned. However, during the second half of the whole series, the story just became DRAGGING and BORING and ...I must admit! CHEESY.
Maybe it was cheesy the whole time, but I didn't notice because I enjoyed the build-up...? Hmmmm.. still! The story is hilarious but you might want to consider to stop reading when you're halfway in the story already.

Or, better yet, just DON'T read it at all. It will save you some blindness of believing in perfectly perfect men (the lead man isn't perfect though, he's the jealous type which is very annoying) and the lead girl is INCREDIBLY DENSE and there were many times wherein I just wanted to slap her.
So there. Don't read it. Haha

They probably could have cut out a few chapters and let the story progress faster... There were a few things about some of the main characters that bugged me a little, but I definitely enjoyed the manga overall!

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.

This manga seamlessly blends comedy and romance together. It's sweet, pure fun. You can tell through his actions that Kei really cherishes Hikari. He loves teasing her just the right way. Hehe. However, my favourite character after Kei is Ryuu. He's such a sweetie with the animals, Jun and Megumi. He's the perfect guy. *__*
This manga is really long but I really wouldn't mind a sequel just to see how the characters are doing. In short, I really recommend this manga! It really left me wanting more.

Special A starts off great (seemingly fiery heroine) then goes downhill. Although Hikari is portrayed as a tough student, beyond the first chapters she is sweet, dense, and makes hypocritical decisions (even though she's supposed to be smart). There's little character and relationship development. If there's one step forward, the characters refute it later. The plot drags and repeats itself, and it's a shame that these cute characters hardly get anywhere.

I was really relieved when I got to chapter 99. The only thing I wanted by the end was actual character/relationship development, which didn't happen. It's not a manga that I would recommend.

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.

Don't know why this manga's so famous. There're just challenges and challenges between the two main characters. Their love seems to play a minor part in the plot and it keeps draging. <yawn> What's so special about it?

Ok reading some of your guys' comments I figured a lot of you didn't like it. I, however thought that it was a really good manga and had a unique plot smile I do think that the manga could be shorter (even though I'd be sad when it ended so early) and that the anime should be longer (IDK what they would add to make it longer but I felt it was too short) smile
