Touching, fun and oh so cute.

You can't help but love the relationship Keppei and Yuzuyu have. It's really cute and ties the whole story in place. The ending leaves you feeling pretty complete although I wish it had shown more of Kokoro and Keppei after Yuzuyu had grown up. The art is very well done, beautiful really, and it helps to keep the reader interested. The series is also a nice length at 7 volumes and has comedy, drama and romance thrown in at just the right places. Overall a 10.

Lacking Substance

by ctomes

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I absolutely love the relationship between Kippei and Yuzu. It's unique and heartwarming. However, I can tell the author didn't think the story through. The mangas that I love have characters who are naturally complicated. Their past experiences define the way they respond to the world around them. In this story, the author had stereotypical characters that had complications added to them as the story went along; complications that didn't match the way they had been behaving at the beginning. It wasn't convincing, and I didn't feel a connection to any of them, except for Yuzu.

That bothered me a lot, because I really liked the story. The elder sister confused me the most, because the author reveals something very serious about her halfway through the story that doesn't make sense. If she really were a person with that issue, why would she make her younger brother the guardian of Yuzu and not herself? Wouldn't she feel an intense longing to take care of Yuzu?

I think that was the moment where I stopped being interested -- because I realized that the characters were lacking substance. Their emotions and behavior had no reasoning -- and if there was a past experience to fall back on, it didn't make sense, or was too weak to be believable.

I think the author should revisit this manga -- if not for the characters, at least to add a satisfying ending.

I admire the drawing style, the touching moments (that were the most realistic parts of the story), and the story itself. I think the author did a good job and has ample talent, but needs to try a little harder. If she does, I imagine she will have no problem putting me through a roller coaster of emotions.

Loved the art more than the plot.

The art in this manga is one of the best ones I've ever seen. I like how the eyes, hair and wardrobe were drawn, especially the backdrop. I was initially attracted with the manga's plot, especially since a child is involved in the story. But as I read on, I grew more attached with how well every character was drawn.

The ending was sweet and heartwarming. Yuzu's such a pretty child.

Great manga. Great art. Great Story.

Everything was excellent. The characters are not the typical ones from manga.

You just really have to read this series to know how awesome it is.

I cried so what?

made me cry in the end and when a mother hitted shouji. D:
yeah kippei+kokoro</3. I just think she was too serious (I like her but...come on!). Kippei was way too lovely with yuzuyu (wtf! I tought that he was going to end with her ._.)

but most of all, I guess this story was about yuzuyu+Kippei and how he's more mature or something like that. Or how can a child get into your heart! ;O don't know~

For a shoujo...pretty good

by metamike

Rating: N/A

I myself have an irrational hatred for almost all shoujos out there, however I found this manga to be very satisfying. I didn't cry tears of happiness or sadness, but there were plenty of "awww" moments, during which I'm sure I would have cried if I was a girl instead of a boy.

Overall, I'd say that comedy and school life play a minor role in being the genres for this manga, while it tends to focus on being more Dramatic/Romantic.

9/10, would've gotten a full score if the ending actually told us anything about what happened to characters other than Yuzuyu.

heart warming ♥♥♥♥

I think the pacing is just right. The art is good, characters are lovable and it's down right heart warming 😛

It's rare for me to read a story and feel my heart throbs like this one 🙂 And at times, it's sooooo sweet.

Anyways, I think you should definitely check this manga out - you won't regret it. Like someone else mentioned - the epilogue could have been a bit longer ^^~ I so wanted to see more happily ever after thingy.

unique plot, definitely not cliche or sappy. realistic and heart-warming.. beautiful art!
Character wise:
Keppei was FAR too concerned with being 'the nice guy' (quoting below)..i felt kinda bad for Kokoro. As much as i love Keppei, i would never want to be in the same position as she was in....gosh at some point i was thinking if Yuzuyu and Keppei were going to end up together in the future! The love Keppei had for Kokoro wasn't nearly as strong as the love he has for Yuzuyu...yet he talks about her as if she her his future wife...so yea, the Keppei + Kokoro relationship could have been far more developed.
The ending was a bit rushed and unclear...she could have added a few more chapters if not, at least a volume more.

Well, the ART was awesome.

Biggest plus to me in this series was the art. Gorgeous, gorgeous art. Overall in the story, it just seemed like a kind of average shoujo to me...with a less sweet romantic moments. I didn't really like the ending either...but that might be personal taste. Every time I read the ending I feel like I want to cry, which is something I personally dislike a LOT, but I know others might like that kind of thing.
