I read this manga when i was 14, it was when i started higschool and didn't know anything about love so it was very especial, the very first romantic manga in my hands.
Now with 28 years, experience, and lots of manga background i bet it wouldn't be the same, also i'll never forget the ending... so yes, i'll probably never read this again just so i don't defile my teen romance manga ahahaha.

The first act(yota) is the best for me when its only between yota moemi and ai,, you can see how much yota love AI... But after kouhai and childhoodfriend came its feels like complicated and everything is misunderstanding. After all I still like it.

altough this manga is considered "old",but the story itself,has awesome storyline and great art,maybe it would be difficult to find comparison for this manga nowadays,masterpiece,it has to be said.I happen know katsura masakazu from I''s that i read before,surprsingly,unexpectedly denei shoujo is far more better from aizu,it has to be perfect ten even eleven i said,but the fact that just how deppressing this manga for me,i give 9.9 for this manga,overall this manga should be "must read" manga for those who loves romance story.i bet some romance shounen manga author may have denei shoujo for their guidance,like seo or kei

I loved this manga. To be honest, I was a bit put off by the premise, since it sounded like it would become a stereotypical and boring ecchi title.

I was completely wrong.

The story starts out as a romantic comedy, but transforms into a drama about three volumes in. I tend to take on the emotions of the main characters in things that I read/watch, so I felt extremely depressed, sad, and frustrated for the rest of the series. It had a very serious effect on my emotions, which is a good thing... it was very effective. It is very well written, and, while the main characters' actions can become frustrating, they are all justified. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Be prepared to have a lighthearted manga on hand for reading once you finish this if you are as susceptible to having your emotions played with as I am. Otherwise, you will feel sad and empty at the end, even though this series does have a happy ending.

In any case, read it. Make your own judgment. And, yes, there are a lot of exposed breast and panty shots in this series. Please, learn to look past them if you are considering skipping this series due to that. You will find something amazing if you do...

This manga would have been so much better if it was about half as long. The story peaks (and should have ended) after the bit with the glass bridge. The latter half of the story is just tedious and painful to plough through and ends up making the protagonist out to be a loathsome prick.

The very end was good, and the first half was amazing..... inbetween those will most likely make you feel loathing, and even utter hate for the worthless piece of $#!% that is the mc. Regardless I would still probably consider it above average, and, with exception to most of the second half, almost perfect.

If you have the time to read a 15-volume manga, this one is an average read. The story isn't especially well laid out, but the characters and their emotions draw you in until the end. I kept hoping for more, though. Maybe I expected too much. The ending is very satisfacting though.

As the poster below said, the female characters are portrayed as down right dumb and seem unable to live without men.

On the positive side, the emotions portrayed are very realistic and Katsura really knows what goes on in a person's mind when they are faced with different situations.

As someone else said, this manga actually DEPRESSING. Not a light-hearted magical girl love affair.

I had finished this about two weeks ago and just couldn't find the words to fit this manga. I really can't express how the manga flowed. It went from one event to another, keeping me interested the whole time, without a doubt a superb manga. Now if only there were more mangaka like this who implement a very interesting moral into the story. Even the extended chapters are great. So I've decided to give this a 10/10 and since I've read this I'm thinking of lowering some of my other manga rankings ^_^'. Just about a must read if the description catches your eye .

it started out really nicely but it went on and on and on. i mean for the love of god, man. after the storm chapter i spent the rest of the series in a very bad mood cuz it was headed in the opposite direction that i wanted. i wanted to see the end in order to cure by pissed off mood that i read it really fast, until around chap 11 where i finally chilled out. over all tho, besides wat i just said, it was pretty good
