Description
From Viz:
High-school student Yota Moteuchi is so unpopular that his classmates have given him the nickname "Dateless." So it's no surprise when the love of his life, Moemi, is not interested in Yota but instead is in love with Yota's best friend, Takashi. Yota turns to a video rental shop for comfort, but little did he suspect that the shop was magical and that the cute girl on his rented tape would pop out of the television and try to fix his ruined love life.

Quite old fashion, nowadays, but nice characters and heart breaking story !
What a memory... maybe my first manga, back in 1994. I didn't eat sometimes, to save the money for those books

This is not your typical magical girlfriend manga. It is a very emotional and deep story with a lot of twists. The characters mature and grow making the story very rich and complex. A very good manga to add to your romance/drama collection. A final note: this manga was released in the early 90's but it has the art style of the 80's (characters wear bulky clothes and 80's hairstyle and fashions) but still the art is very impressive. Very high quality!

pretty surprised a lot give this a 10 rating..sure artwork is great, plot has some surprising turns, its dramatic, somewhat deep and the ending eas good., but seriously guys this is like the antithesis of looking positive about love..this is the pessimistic approach to romance, i mean i havent read a single happy moment in the story, it so gloomy. its full of pain, indesiciveness, insecurities, rejection, misunderstanding, stupidy, mistakes, sacrifices...did i say stupidity?i think the mangaka really has some bad experiences with love, i mean nothing goes right in the story, every thing they do seems wrong, wrong timing, wrong words, wrong person, wrong desicion, etc..even the supposed good moments were overshadowed by the thoughts and pains of the injured 3rd party..its so gloomy that the main focus of the story is about how painful it is to love...
sure this might be good for those who would stand back and watch the story unfold, or those who believe that the greater you suffer the bigger the reward at the end, the the more you'll appreciate what you have...something like that..well i am someone who gets involve with characters or the story so i felt frustrated and angry while reading the story...sure this is moving, but in a bad way...made me remember why i didnt put I"s in my favorite list, made me remember how gloomy or helpless i felt while reading the story, except in the end..but i dont believe in the saying that the end justifies the means...

well, I've read this manga and thought, "I really like this girl". I mean, she is the most credible character even though she comes out of a video... The story is simple at first, the tipical high school romance comedy, but turns into a drama gradually. At some point it lost its line, but all in all, it is a great story. Happy or sad, Ai takes it all, enjoy this manga.

Love-triangles, school life, high school romance. Average artwork. Don't agree that this is better than I''s, but that guy prolly read more manga than I have. This is also science fiction.
