| Tsukasa Nishino (西野つかさ) Her idol-caliber face, fair hair, and straightforward personality make her very popular at school. With her looks, she attracts literally dozens of admirers but turns down each and every one. Flighty and hot-tempered at the start of the manga, she develops a far more mature attitude after entering Oumi Academy. She works part-time in a French pastry shop. Her dream is to study pastry-making further in France after high school. While she is Manaka's first (and only) official girlfriend, she is forced to break up with him a couple of times. She initiates the first breakup because she can't stand Manaka's apparent lack of interest in their relationship. Towards the end of the manga, she and Manaka get back together, only to break up again to pursue their respective dreams. The two reunite four years later, after her return from France. Associated with the West ("Nishi"). Read more at http://myanimelist.net/character/1974#wJdLXqhLzEvTF23G.99 |

| lol the fateful encounter at the beginning of the manga...It was a love at first sight... but lol it end it up this way...I feel so sorry for Toujo though, a bitter sweet ending infact...I she would have been a little bit honest with her self from the middle of the story they would have ended up together, it's a little of her fault..well we cant blame her for it anyway..shyness is just one of japanese peoples personality...they have high respects for each other..even to the point of being highly shy about something. But if she did looked back back then, I think Manaka would have chose her. Well there's no point in regret things now that the series just ended. Explicitz said: wouldve been nice if he added alternative endings for each girl. I would totally love to see alternate endings though. . .but the author emphasize greatly on the side stories instead. 7/10 but if the anime ever gets a sequel, i'm hoping that It will be an Aya Toujo endind sorry for the Nishino fans for me saying this, but i really hope if there's a sequel to the ending I hope they'll give it to aya she deserves this. . . |

| #Team-Toujou, it literally feels i got punched in the face when i realised Tsukasa won. |
| To #Team-Toujou, read another shonen harem manga. In most of them Toujo type character win. |
| A mixed bag for me to be honest. It dragged on for too long and became repetitive at points. The author could have done this with about half the chapters. Characters like Kozue and Chinami were absolutely pointless and feel like filler. It was all about the main 3 girls all along. I must admit that I felt Satsuki was badly treated by the author ( a hostess and single? At least let her end up with a guy or another career). I suppose being sexy and assertive in Japan is considered unfeminine or something. |

| Too bad after this Mizuki Kawashita failed too made another hit, she keep use conservative method and avoid created more Ichigo 100% type story |
| i glad to finish this series , even though i felt something rush for me |
 |
| It already in decline, but i glad mangaka still manage to made spectacular curtain closer |
| If it end in middle school arc, Aya is chosen one. Too bad it extended and story evolved |
| I'm glad I equally liked Tsukasa and Aya but I was a little surprised the author decided a "Tsukasa ending " (she became popular so the author chose her) . Just bullshit that Aya decided to go on another university just because people around her said so. I'm okay with Tsukasa but I'm little disappointed he didn't choose Aya. I didn't like Tsukasa at first then she grew on me. She deserved to be a happy with Junpei, I like their reunion scene. I'll rate this 5 cuz I'm annoyed with Junpei most of the time. I was about to rate this 3 but the the last few chapters were good. |
| @blessofcurse Actually it was Tsukasa fans who stick to the series until the end, most of fans already jump into other romance manga. And without the ending, Im 100% sure that people already forgot that ichigo 100% ever exist. |
| It was actually a fun ride imo although fairly predictable. I wish Satsuki won in the end though but oh well...it was inevitable. And also, has Manaka been hitting the gyms a lot? LOL. |
 |
| Nope he just took part time in construction company and he goes to college too but not in his first choice. |
| Best girl won, and she actually deserved it. I mean come on, Nishino confessed to him the same way that Manaka did to her in the beginning of the story. Aya did not do anything like that. |
 |
| Ah, finally finished this after two days of binge-reading. The author really dragged this manga way too long. There were a lot of unnecessary and boring chapters. The main thing that kept this manga from going is Junpei's indecisiveness. I've seen a lot of indecisive characters in my life but Junpei is probably on the top of my list. Well it's not a bad manga overall. It was still enjoyable. I especially like that Nishino won but also at the same time I kinda felt bad for the other two, which doesnt happen often. Usually I just care about the girl Im rooting for. But I sure would like to see what would have happened if Toujo or Satsuki won. |

| After hearing this series for years, I finally have time to read it. I was turned off because of the sheer number of volumes but I think I'll find something interesting, that's what I thought when decided to read it. I've read Hatsukoi Gentei and Ane Doki, they're better than this in my opinion. I read somewhere that around the last volumes, manga popularity drop to the bottom. Maybe the readers realized that the story was going nowhere and started to lose interest. Actually from around the volume 8 I've already lost interest and fast read it till the end. By fast reading it, I can guess what girl will have next problem will have problem with Junpei. The manga is dragging things too long. The author just rinse repeat a new problem with little to none to the story development for each girl until the readers became fed up with that. I've watched Nisekoi before reading this and noticed the resemblance right away. So if you like this kind of thing, you may want to try Nisekoi. |
| @ LeonLanford You right in last chapter Ichigo 100% is in bottom ToC, but ending close the curtain splendidly. Too bad latter Mizuki Kawashita losing her brave and made mediocre series. |
| Just finished this manga ! I rushed it and read it in 1 week, primary because it was the only manga that I was reading at the moment. At first I feel so disappointed that Aya lost, but after thinking, I thought it was for the best, and I think it was as hard for Manaka that it was for the author to make that choice, in the end Aya followed her dream and didn't wrote her stories for Manaka, I thought it was wonderful. And for the ending, even if my favorite girl didn't win, it still succeeded to bring me tears. 9/10 Sadly the author didn't write other manga as great at this one, I'll still remember it for years :) |
| @ Nuage Glad saw Aya fans accept the ending, actually if manga end in middle school arc than Aya who will became the chosen one. |
| Finished this manga some months ago, despite starting to read it in the end of 2010. Overall, I liked it despite the tone shift in the last volumes (comedy being replaced with loads of drama) and some anti-climax, especially when Junpei and Aya were about of kissing each other or something. I also hated the ending. The story pushed for a Aya ending for a long time. Even Satsuki and Tsukasa thought at some point of the story Aya was the favorite. I also agree about Kozue and Chinami feeling like "filler characters", especially the former. I don't hate Kozue, but I feel she debuted in the wrong time. I think a 8/10 is a solid rating for this manga. |

| First impression after few chapters was not so good - cliched ending with first girl was almost certain. There were also few weak points along the way like many forced fanservice scenes, lacking dialogs, hardly any development around their 2nd and first part of 3rd highschool year, MC and heroines were dodging almost every big plot twist by running away in decisive moments (only Satsuki was trying hard tbh). Even with all that manga was enjoyable and after it was about to be axed - development pace became much better. As already noted dialogs were not that great, Manaka took initiative like 5 times, he had some great lines during them. But mostly he was accepting what other person said or was just fantasing about panties and such stuff... It could bring much more what author wanted to show by fixing this point. But in result I think that Manaka x chosen girl was lacking emotional depth. And one more outcome that would be acceptable by me was that Manaka would be ditched by all girls for various reasons. I really started hating this guy after he was putting all girls in his reserve-zone without picking any of them going wishy-washy... |

| A solid closure. It wrapped nicely and gave a sense of conclusion. Not to mention my ship is safely docked. But still, the journey was painful. It's too dragged, stupid drama and also mainly thanks to Jinpei's indiciveness. Pissed me off. 4/10 meh. |

| Tsukasa was the best girl. Shy laidback and you lose. Love a story ere not the booring first girl wins also. Tsukasas personality is more atractive and forword. |
Moys said: I chose to read this manga as i wanted to read a heart-warming and sweet love story. Having read really sad stories right before, I feel robbed, I wanna die. I put up with all of the clichee and awkward mess, just so i could ultimately see Aya finally have her love reach that damn monkey of an mc that we had to put up with. Other than the beatifull hair the girls had, that was the only thing that kept me from dropping this. I actually enjoyed it a bit until the chapter 30~35, but then all i had to enjoy was the hope of the ending that we were supposed to get. I mean, from the first chapter, this has been the love story between Aya and Junpei. And i don’t wanna hear about how its more realistic, original, or any lf that kind of nonsense. Half of the manga was about random panty shots and the main character falling onto a girl’s crotch whenever something had to happen in the script. Not to mention the mc changing his feelings based on who he encounters, it’s just ridiculous. From the start, and throughout the whole story, it was all about Aya finally getting closer, what should have been happening at first ( Aya getting Junpei instead of Tsukasa when he first confesses ) postponed to later, each time, as if in a sadistic madman’s mind that pushes someone off a cliff right before he finishes to climb it. It would have been fine if it finally ends up as it’s supposed to, it’s a lame but good way to stretch out the story, but that wasn’t the case. We had everything set, Satsuki had guys she could forget about Junpei with, Tsukasa has the pastry chef, Ookusa, it’s just so unfair at the end, for all of the characters. The relationship with Tsukasa wasn’t serious, and we knew it since the beggining, she knew about Aya, just like Satsuki, and we could litteraly see that she selfishly took Junpei for herself, and we could feel it, she knew that it wasn’t right, that it had to stop at some point. We had hints of how it *had* to end the whole time, and we still got deceived each time. Tsukasa coming out on top was the thing that *shouldn’t* have happened, and I guess that’s why it did. I could feel it all along, it’s like it just goes deeper and deeper into the abyss, the point of no return. The shining diamond we could see in the early stages kept on getting dimmer and dimmer. Im really mad at the author for dragging the story for that long, with such a mediocre and clichee story, but yet with such a big hope. Who cares about the pointless fan-service with hundreds of panty shots, predictable and lame twists, but how can you betray the story’s own essense like that? Who cares about originality when you do have such a a story, with its issues and its beauty? I try to console myself and think that a female author could end up seeing things from different angles, and that over time it would completely shift from a young man romantical ideals but when I remember what our main character actual is, it does’t really make me feel any better. Coming here with with a wounded heart, I’m now leaving with such a big hole in it, and that bitter-sweet taste in my mouth really is depressing. Thinking back, all that stuff about novels and movies was pretty sweet, but too bad that we couldn’t know that much more about it though. Anyways i guess I had to read that, even thought I noted 1/10, Im wondering if I should put it in my favorites. The author’s hair drawing sure were lovely. Blame Shounen Jump who keep extending the series, even author admit it herself. Due story over extended, story must evolved. |
| This might be a rare case wherein your run-of-the-mill, indecisive, average-looking yet chick-magnet MC, had chosen without a doubt the best girl from his harem. I mean, at the end of the day it all really went down between Nishino and Aya, while the other girls were just there to I guess keep stuff interesting. Satsuki is an interesting one because even though she is more fleshed out as a character compared to someone like the loli on the cram school or the imouto, we know for a fact that she still had 0 chance with the MC if their personalities will be considered (her being direct with her feelings and the harem MC with his usual indecisiveness). Somewhere near the final chapters, I really thought that JunpeixNishino would be over once she fly off to France as now he has an excuse to settle for his second choice which is Aya. Even though Aya deserved to be happy with someone that she loved, I'm glad that the story still went the Nishino route because she had the most romantic development with the MC compared to the other girls. And I would be really pissed off if by any chance he dumps Nishino again with the "he finally realized the one he truly loved" cliche. No matter how many unnecessary panty shots were there or if you thought he chose the wrong girl at the end, this was still a pretty solid light-hearted, teen romcom in my opinion. And even though there were some stuff that were suddenly forgotten such as Yui during the last one or two volumes, or Junpei not providing a response to Mukai's confession, I still enjoyed the hell out of this manga and consider it one of my favorites. |

dedi26 said: nishino at begining is so salting aya should be a true love for manaka I felt aya love manaka is the most.chapter 135 is the best chapter in this manga. I dont like amachi too becaouse his selfish.even he say love aya,he dont sorry when aya cried.n he hope aya hate manaka. I forget name of manaka's friend who love soccer in this manga.I like that character Story is supposed to be end in beginning of high school arc, to accommodate it story must evolved |
| I must say I am really disappointed. This manga could've easily been a masterpiece if it cut out all the unnecessary ecchi and slapstick, sidetracking, and random girls that were thrown in for no real reason. I read this so long ago but I still can't get the core story out of my head. That's how special it was, and yet I only gave it a 6 and still stand by that. If only it had all that extra shit cut out of it. |
