Cute... but

by MangaTaiga

Rating: N/A

I mean this is a really cute manga, and I'll keep reading... BUT. I don't think I can get over the incest part... Having and older brother myself aswell, makes it so much worst for me. If my brother ever... ASDFGHJKL NO... EW EW NOOOO. I don't usually hope for this... But, I think it's best if the mangaka takes the easy route out. And does a cliche plot twist, like... No they aren't really siblings... asdfghkl... INCEST... Me no like.

Okay now back to the manga it's self. I like the way we get to see both sides. So we know his feelings and her feelings. The situation are easier for us to understand what they are thinking. Even if it's not actually written there.

This manga has an adult feel... kind of sexual, y'know. But it's not smut.... Which trust me is good. It means that the mangaka is okay to do those more... y'know things. So this manga isn't restricted to it's cute, younger reader market.

The characters... Very cliche. You have your popular guy that all the girls just love to love, and his friend which happends to be in love with the main girl. And the girls new friend that also likes the guy she like ""OTL

I like that we get to see the family... And, of course that is probably only because it is incest. But in normal manga they don't really show the family side of things. They may talk about it, but we don't see it. So I'm happy. XD

And finally the protagonist... Okay... The protagonist it a cliche, crybaby protagonist. BUT... I like her. She is hard working, cute and fun. I just can't hate her.

Overall, I am enjoying this manga. Even if it may gross me over a bit. You gotta admit. It is so cute!!

Not. Incest. It's. Sibling. Love.

Sigh... why does this series have so many 1.0 ratings. Anyway, as the title says, it's not incest. Incest is sexual intercourse with someone that is related to you by blood. I just can't imagine Yuzuru and Ai doing that and I don't think the plot will go in that direction, either.

But, it's a good series, it's one of the better ones by the mangaka. Besides, they look good together and just because their other half happened to be your blood-related brother/sister, isn't a reason to dismiss this series. It's so cute.

Also, I'm really picky and the most important elements in a manga to me, is to be character and plot driven, and then nice art. This one passed all three aspects perfectly!! So, give it a go!

Edit1: we all have our own likes and dislike in terms of character and art, don't be so judgemental.
Edit2: the way Ai's mouth is drawn is to show she's stuttering, not speaking clearly, and such when she's speaking, and to show her mouth is shaking when she's crying (a neatly drawn mouth wouldn't make sense if she's crying)

Silly, but I like it anyway

I have to admit, it's a very silly unrealistic manga, but I've always liked brother / sister love stories so I'll take it any way I can get it. Hey, someone has to like this stuff or they wouldn't write it. This type of manga doesn't always end well and I don't like that. I'm the type of person who believes you should be able to do what you want as long as you don't physically harm others, so therefore who you want to love is up to you and no one should be able to tell you otherwise.

When I read this type of manga, I can't help but wonder what kind of parent would split their kids up and not let them see each other or their other parent for 9 or 10 years. How could a mother not try to see her son for 9 years and how could the father not see his daughter as well. If I was a child in this type of family, I would be terribly resentful of this fact alone, but these types of issues never turn up at all. The main characters don't seem to think anything about not seeing their other parents for so long and that's the reason I find it unrealistic.

At this point, the story to go either way. A cute love story or it could turn into a long drawn out festival of emotional pain. Personally, I prefer the cute route,

Incest?

This is a really weird story. I thought the art was pretty cute so I decided to read this series but it just put me off. The way the mangaka draws the female lead's mouth is just freakin' annoying.. REAALLY.

The storyline is also pretty cliche. Well, Ai's separated brother came to visit her after 9 years and somehow (?) they already fell in love with each other. Actually, I don't mind incest but the way the male lead acts is freaking me out. I mean, wow if my blood-related brother flirted me like he did.. No, not gonna happen.

Well, siblings just don't act that way.

The sister is also overreacting things. A brother complex? Hmm.. I don't think so. I guess she's already in love but still hasn't realized her feelings or so. Incest is ok but I also want to see how they fall in love with each other for a believable reason, not something like brother and sister suddenly acting like a silly couple after not having met each other for ages. And lemme guess, the two will soon date and later then we get to see a soap opera about forbidden love. No thanks. Maybe this manga is made for younger readers. It's just not for me

One of the worse mangas I've read.

I had hopes for this manga because the art attracted my attention, but the story line was so cliche and flat... The leading female character was especially annoying with her cutesy and innocent personality. What made this manga excruciating to read was how unrealistic it was.

I am probably judging this manga to harshly, being a mature reader. If you're a middle school girl, and never experienced your first love or a relationship before, then you might find this a good read.

Lastly, how the artist drew the female protagonist's mouth angered the shit out of me. Never thought I would be so irritated with one's art before. Overall, the drawings were good.
