Moe Kare!! is a Shoujo, Romance, Comedy, Drama revolving around an interesting love triangle full of love, jealousy and heartache. The story is certainly typical for a shoujo manga however this doesn’t stop it from being a very enjoyable manga to read.

Of to an unconventional start; the story begins about an otaku girl (Hikaru Wakamiya) who’s always dreamt of getting a prince charming for a boyfriend but one day her first kiss is stolen some stranger. She later meets a guy (Takara Honda) that looks exactly like the one who stole her kiss but he doesn’t seem to be the same person. During the fast-paced ... beginning it is easy to wonder, what exactly going on here? Not to mention the number possibilities about both the guy’s identities, but thankfully it is all cleared up by the end of the 1st Volume and the messed up high school love triangle begins. From this point on the story becomes truly interesting, with plenty of light-hearted comedy and heavy drama for anyone to be satisfied with.

To make this a love triangle, three characters must be involved and here we have Hikaru, Takara and Arata. Hikaru starts of as nothing much but as she goes through, love and heartbreak she develops so much into a great heroine. Then you have your likable bi-shounen protagonist Takara and Arata; and with Takara being such a stiff unsociable guy, it is fun seeing his exact opposite, Arata and his playful ways. There are quite a few named supporting characters but they rarely play any major role in the story, except one that appears later on.

The artwork is pretty standard for a shoujo manga, with nothing amazing about it to set itself apart from the rest. The characters tend to frquently switch to the chibi look, to add some cutesy hilarity to the situation but sometimes it just fails. Although during normal situations, the characters and the scenery looks plain gorgeous.

Overall Moe Kare!! turned out be a shoujo manga that even a guy like me could enjoy from beginning to end. Sure there were some things I really didn’t like, such as Arata’s annoying attitude in the beginning and I was bothered by the few Yaoi moments. Also the way the characters lips looked in the chibi moments weren’t cute. Yet these are only minor issues that don’t necessary have a huge impact on the overall feel of the manga. With it also being at a manageable length, this is certainly a manga that any shoujo reader should check out.

^_^

Moe Kare is your average shoujo romance love triangle... or maybe not. In your average shoujo romance, the central character has a clearly defined target and the third person is generally just a troublemaker serving as a plot device and you can see the ending a mile away. In your average shoujo romance, the resolution of this love triangle moves you to tears but for the wrong reason (some tears sneak out during your long yawns). In your average shoujo romance, you pick a side and you root for that character, be it the underdog or the top banana. (Clearly, I have done my research ... on what seemingly goes on in your average shoujo romance)

Well in that case, Moe Kare is not your average shoujo romance. Our heroine Hikaru is looking for love and finds it, but not in the way she imagined. Her ideal prince seems more horndog than honorable and why does he run hot and cold, pretending to not know her one minute but feeling her up the next? Does he have Bipolar disorder? Well, being the clever reader that you are (and having taken a gander at the "love triangle" tag) you've probably figured out that there's a twin involved! Good job Watson!

So why is Moe Kare not your standard shoujo fare? It stands out because here, the characters aren't selfish or possessed with one track minds. The "third wheel" character, while initially contentious, genuinely cares for Hikaru and when he realises it's in her best interest, begrudgingly stands aside and let's her have her happy ending, only there wasn't an ending, and he's called back into the playing field. The changes that Hikaru undergoes through the story are so raw and human that you forget you're reading a story, you feel as though a friend is retelling her experiences. The resolution of the love triangle also feels very real and believable, not something which makes you roll your eyes and flip to the next page because you saw that coming. And lastly, there is character development the likes of which you have never seen before in short romance reads. Even the perfect prince character who could do no wrong grows as a person and changes for the better by the end of the read, as do all the other primary characters. As a reader you feel you've matured along with them through the course of their trials and while barely a couple of hours will have passed since you started reading the story, metaphorically you will feel a few years wiser instead.

I'm not saying this story is flawless, it could have been better developed, with richer characters and edgier dialogues. There were a few pacing issues such as in the first four chapters where we have intimate scenes along with ridiculously orchestrated situations and audacious dialogue to make it seem grown up or maybe less childish, but this attempt comes off feeling botched or trying-too-hard. You can't include too much chibi animation in a grown up shoujo story or readers won't take it too seriously. Also, even though supposedly everything is set in reality, you get this feeling that yes, things are happening in a fantastical universe here because really, logic is completely set aside. Oh yes, and the mangaka believed that showing the heroine half naked in the first volume along with a couple of outrageous kisses could make up for the lack of a concrete situations warranting smut. It couldn't but these flaws are more than made up for in the remainder of the story.

The saving graces include the mangakas skill in drawing the heroine in various motions of flight and swooning sequences as well as action poses for the bishounen. At one or more points, the story included novel situations like Hikaru dousing the evil Arata with a bucket of water, inspired scene! Oddly, within one scene, Hikaru alternates between helplessly ambushed and powerful retaliation. I also can't help but marvel at how everyone from the male Karate club, from members to the club prez get turned on by Honda.

After two thirds of the chapters, you start to see the less travesty-ridden side of this manga, and yes maybe each chapter includes too little progress, which is what I thought, but they take the story forward all the same. In a good way. Maybe the heroine needed a better reason to be parted from The Gentle Prince though. Something like Pearl Harbour would have been justified. This guy (Honda, The Gentle Prince), you just felt like smacking his mislead self righteous head! Anyway, it wasn't a complete waste of my time, even though volumes 1-4 can use a ton of improvement. I felt happy for Perverted Prince, he matured, learnt that good things are worth waiting for, and really emerged as an underdog hero. Good for him, I have zero complaints with this ending unlike sniff Zettai Kareshi.

Oh and you gotta love the accessories on Arata, they somehow really made his character so much more bad-ass but moeeeeee at the same time! I especially dug the ever changing rings on his hands.

Interestingly, my opinion and rating on this series has been highly mercurial. The first time I started reading it, I put it down in disgust at the constant chibi art. Then I forced myself to look beyond it in the second reading and finished the whole read looking for some quality smut and was mildly assuaged. At that time I considered this a passable read. The third time I read this almost five years later, I freakin' loved this story! It suddenly had everything I ever wanted in a school-setting romance! The kyaaa factor was constantly skyrocketing, there was humor, there were outrageously nosebleed-inducing situations and those which made you shake with mirth (imagine getting inspired to do 100 situps because you catch a glimpse of your male trainer's nipple through his 'gi' with every situp!), a....nd there were torrid kisses which made you take a deep breath and then hold it, you know the feeling!
In short, it delivered!

I highly recommend this title to folks sick of trite romances with shallow plots where you can predict the ending after the introduction of two characters itself. You will enjoy the delicious execution, the believable pace and feel deeply for the characters and their agony.

“At that time, for me…you were my everything.”

The story of Hikaru and how she fell in love and experiences a happiness that was too surreal for words.

The story of Hikaru and how love didn't turn out the way she thought it was going to be.

Moe Kare takes flight as soon as it starts, with a nice swift introduction of the characters and then its plot commences. No dwelling on details you won’t need or recycle in your mind. It gives the impression that every plots twists and turns were designed, planned for, and revised--it’s just that well executed. Not meaning it’s perfection personified, but ... you’ve got to admire the beauty of the simplicity behind it.

That’s right, Moe Kare, was in all honesty, simple. Nothing far fetched or otherworldly (not including the way they fight and carry each other, that’s just ridiculous). It’s a story about a girl, not the smartest and definitely not the dumbest (hopefully), and the boy she likes.
This was probably my second time reading it, but I couldn’t remember something and it bothered me. Not the end, that I remember, but what happened that led up to the end was what eluded me. So, with the intention of dropping it if it got too boring, I started my Moe Kare quest once more.

Summary:
On her way home Hikaru meets her prince by way of him saving her. It’s fate! Or so she thinks. This prince doesn’t want her handkerchief as a thank you, he wants her body. One saliva exchange and a few name callings later, she goes back home feeling violated and depressed. Her prince is a lecherous guy.
Later that week she meets him again on a group date, the infamous perverted prince, and she gives him a piece of her mind (which leaves her with a very small amount ..lol jk). But wait, is this really him?
The answer is no. It just looks like him.
Hikaru, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s the ducks brother of course!

Characters:
The manga only really revolves around these three people. Hikari, Takara, and Arata:
Hikaru is sweet and average. She is the ass of the jokes in the manga, since most of the laughing is done at her expense (most, not all). Her character starts off really young but she actually grows in her role. Adapting to life’s curve balls or just putting on a brave face to ease someone else’s pain.

Takara is a sweet popular guy. He’s great at everything, is smart, athletic, and caring..boring. His one quality that makes him interesting is that underneath the face of this good looking boy is actually a dumb-ass. He couldn’t be more oblivious to his surroundings and to how much Hikaru likes him.

Arata, he is called the, “wild erotic prince." He was by far the best character out of the three. His spunkiness (real word?) made this interesting and humorous. Not saying that Hikaru’s many faces weren’t funny, it was just cute to witness a “bad boy” going soft. He was my favorite, though Takara also grew on me towards the end. Arata was the diverse in this manga, the variable in an equation that is known for its stability.

There are other characters, the side characters. The characters who were always hovering in the background as part of the landscape. They didn’t have a voice. Even the “Karata Fan Club” (you know there was one) didn’t have personalities. They were just there to fill empty page space. There was no girls jealous over Hikaru for stealing all the other girls spotlight and “number one” guy. Arata even went on calling two of Hikaru’s closest friend A and B. Probably to make joke on the fact that they were not important enough to be mentioned again. Actually this was just more funny than annoying. Also a little sad.

Art:
The art was very good, borderline beautiful at times. It has its funny and serious moments. It also has the moments were you can’t tell Karata and Arata apart. Which didn’t happen often but it still unnerved me, since they aren’t twins or anything. There is a lot of details that went with making their facial expressions uniquely their own and at the same time the same. Overall, the art is solid and always goes with the mood of the manga. It does have a lot of sexual content at first. It’s actually more talk than anything, but you do get to see partial nudity, so if breasts scare you, stay away.

Moe Kare could have easily ended in the middle of volume five. It was just right, the atmosphere, the circumstances (weren’t perfect but they were looking optimistic). It could have ended, I actually thought it would. Fortunately it decided to go on with its plan of making a memorable ending. Five volumes in, the story starts to get great, towering over the previous chapters cuteness.

I was surprised at the end to see that in such a light and fluffy manga, there was also depth and pain. Though it was cute and shows the bliss of first love, it also gives you a glimpse of the heart ache and of course, moving on.

i don't have too much to say about this manga, but i may be the only one who absolutely hates it. Most people will think that the story was really cute, but if you actually look at this manga from the guy pov, you will see how cruel the story is. the ending felt extremely empty, unless ur good at ignoring things like this, this story will make u suffer especially if ur a guy reading this. it will make u spit blood from all the irony and hypocrisy. the main character is pathetic and inconsiderate of others feelings, the plot is pitiful and the ... only thing that keeps u reading is the hope that things would get better, the hope that the main character will stop being retarded and may receive the bloodiest divine punishment possible for all her cruelty to the male lead, all in all the story is just cruel, even the cover picture for this manga depicts the cruelty, (notice how one guy is in front of the other, clearly depicting the unfairness and the whole crapload of bull in the story) the story spends more time on a character that is not the male lead. its just stupidly planned out leaving u feel angry and empty, also this story does an awesome job depicting how irresponsible girls can be, and how easily a clingy girl can just take things for granted. Truly ridiculous.

I really like the plot of this manga. Although it's nothing different from other manga wherein it involves love triangle. But I think what made me enjoy this manga is the way the characters are built by the mangaka. The way the love of the two lead guy characters differentiate from one another. The humor is so great that I laugh at it alone in my room (it's good that the door was closed otherwise they would think I'm crazy laughing in front of the monitor). Basically, it's a story of a 15 year old girl Hikaru who wants a boyfriend that'll protect her based ... on the manga/anime she reads/watch (she's an otaku). She then meets a guy who saved & thought maybe this was it but then it turned out that this guy was a perv. She then called him a 'perverted prince'. She was so depressed that her first kiss was stolen by that guy. And on a group date, she saw the 'perverted prince'! To her surprise, he doesn't recognized her, Hikaru then realized that the 'perverted prince's' eyes are different from the guy she is with now. And the attitude of this guy was also different from the guy who stole her first kiss.. Now it's for you to find out what's happening..^_^

When any story starts off with an interesting and funny chapter, it kind of sets high expectations in the mind of a reader. When these expectations fail to meet it ends up as a sore disappointment. I may be a somewhat inexperienced manga reader, but now this made me sure of what I will possibly avoid in the future.

Moe Kare had the formula to be cutesy and funny. While it's jokes worked I think everything else was lazy and cliche. I think it's a standard shoujo story with the bad boy-good girl-good boy love triangle. While I happen to enjoy them if they are depicted ... well this one awfully reminded me of a love triangle I absolutely hated in the past.

Maybe it's just me but I wasn't really convinced of the feelings of the main girl. The ending was kind of thrown in for the readers. The development that took place was far from believable. The bad boy in this story later on became the kind of guy I never want to witness any character turning into. I felt bad for him and wanted to smack the one-dimensional girl. The worst kind of female character is the one who cries in every chapter.

I don't have anything against the art. It was cute but they looked too young for my taste. They frequently turned into chibi and what was funny till midway was annoying in the later half. It didn't have that much of a plot to begin with. What could have had been finished in 20 chapters was drug out to more than 30. Ah, well.

The story is immature but even immaturity can make sense. This one did not. I would only recommend it to hardcore shoujo lovers or teen girls. For me it held very mediocre enjoyment value.

I really hated it.

Yeah, it romance but it had a horrible main character!

She basically used a guys feelings and she acts all shocked when he tries to avoid her.

How ridiculous!

The manga was good at first, but she just acted like a complete slut to me. Not even making up her mind when the boys were urging to be loved by her.

... She chose the one with the good life at first and kept running back to him when she was in a relationship with the other.

The other boy had a bad life and was always alone, but she didn't care about that even when he told her.

However the ending was quite nice i have to say. I didn't love this, or like it.

I tolerated it.

The girl was just plain CRUEL and only cared for her emotions. She sucked, and thats all i have to say.

When i first came across this manga i wasent expecting much at all but as i started reading it i really began to enjoy not only the growth of the characters but also the deep emotions that they hid from eachother and also tried to deny within themselves and i fell inlove with that secret kind of mood it really just raised my bar for what i was expecting later in the series. The begging was abit slow and consisted of a dumb guy who really dosent understand his feelings, A playboy who dosent think he has feelings for the girl and A smart girl ... whose experiencing first love. The begging was alot of comedy and cute romance stuff most kids would like at any age and then about the middle the female role started to see that mabey this man she loved well boy she loved had broken her heart into a million pieces and that she should move on and during this transition for her she is conforted by the playboy who realizes his feelings and there relationship becomes very mature not like they have sex alot or anything its that this isent a kid love its adult and it has reason and purpose and he honestly loves her now at this point your already addicted but it just gets better with heart breaking romance to were you feel like crying and laughing along with them and an amazing amazing amazing ending probly the best ending i have ever read for a manga and thats saying alot. I loved this manga and would suggest it to anyone manga lover or not because it is fabulous in everyway.
Thanks and i hope you enjoy Moe Kare!!

Story [ 10/10 ]

Gah... Yes. The story was a MASTERPIECE!It started off really slow, with lots of hilarity and embarrassing scenes... But after the first few chapters, the writer really cranks it up, and the story is off to a flying start! Not only is the heroine broken, but so are the readers! The reader (me) is usually feeling the same emotions as the heroine, and I''m sure that I would have done the same if I were in her position! The story is realistic yet creative, with a lot of emotion pouring out of ... it! If you can take a few cheesy scenes, the story is a magnificent work of art!

Art [ 10/10 ]

The art was a work of art... ;D It would switch at the right time to chibi mode for necessary hilarity, but without it the usual artwork was VERY attractive and the scenery was beautiful.

Character [ 10/10 ]

Character development really shines in this manga... ESPECIALLY for the main characters. Hikaru is an otaku that tends to cry a lot. In Japan, they say heart-broken woman become more mature, and Hikaru is a living example. By the end of the book, shes a strong (literally) woman who can depend on herself. Another character I'm impressed with is Arata! He's originally a perverted playboy who fools around with ladies every night, but he's chnged by Hikaru in many different ways! By the end of the book, he also transforms into a responsible man who does it with nobody but the one he truly loves.

Overall, it's a guaranteed 10 out of 10. The story was perfect, the ending was great! The manga's not too long, so if you want to read a very touching love triangle, I suggest this manga more than anything!

My opinion of this manga, I wasn't really interested in the manga, until I read the first chapter for fun, turned out it was really good. There is a Love triangle between 2 peoples. One of the peoples is very teasing, and a playboy, and the other boy was a good boy which any girl would want. They are both very Popular, and of course, everyone would want a perfect boy who's nice, gentle and everything. For some reason, no anime or manga has ever made me felt this way, for the main character to fall in love with the good gentle kind of person, ... until i read this manga. Its really moving, you peoples should try it out!

Although the characters were typical the plot was rather intense. It wasn't as straight forward as other shougo manga's but it was just as rewarding in the end. I almost cried a couple of times. The art was also amazing and really added to the story, I felt. A great read for sure.

After reading all 35 chapters in two days...I dumbfounded by this manga. It was fantastic! It is about a girl that has to chose between two boys in a "twisting around every corner" kind of love triangle.

If you are looking for a romantic anime that will make you laugh, blush, and ask yourself "did that just happen?", then you should not pass this story up. The complexity of this story was amazing. From the very beginning I found I was asking myself, "who is this girl gunna chose?", "how can this possibly have a satisfying ending?" and "Who would i chose, if it were me?". ...

(The truth is that I finished Hana Yori Dango a few months ago. As it turns out, it was my perfect story. I have been thirsting for a something better, and this story is definitely the closest so far.)

The reason I only gave it a 9 was because the characters were so well done that I hold both of the boys that she chose between in my heart (but of course, she can only pick one). So, no matter how impossible I yearned for the lead girl to somehow get both of them.

Sorry about my ranting, it's just that this story touched me so much that my own feelings have been confused... in a good way. Maybe because this story could really happen in real life, and although life isn't perfect, it can still have a happy satisfying ending. (my first review don't bash it too hard)

the story is about a girl named Hikaru who loves anime.she always dreams of having a strong and sweet boyfriend like in the anime.so what happens when a very handsome boy takes her first kiss ,and she sees some one who looks just like him on a group date with friends, a lot of chaos that's for shore.It gets more chaotic when she finds out whats going on.

WOW!!! that can sum it up. i mean, it's so great i kind'a made it my basis on how good a manga is. okay i'll make this review more personal.i wont do the summarizing but i'll tell you the feelings it gave me.

the story is so great and well developed. the flow is just right, from the meeting to the parting and starting once more.the manga envelops all emotions that will really get you carried away.i was like totally crazy;i'll just laugh out loud and then cry "unstoppably?" in an instant.it's never forgettable,up till now i can only think of moe kare every time i ... read a love triangle manga. characters are well described and portrayed.the comedy is a killer and the love in it is genuine.

warning: if u plan to read this make sure u have everything u need with you or beside you because it's really hard to stop when u started reading. i just love it!!!

This manga was amazing! She is writing the best manga ever! She is my favourite mangaka! I loved it that the characters were so unique! Hikaru wasnt too strong or too weak, she had a special talent of cuteness and she was a bit dense, that made it really interesting! It was cute seeing her slowly find out who she loves at the end. It really was a unique and awesome twist, this really made me feel satisfied and interested in her other works which are awesome!

Here I am again!
I read this about 1 year ago or so.I really like romantic manga and especially at that time I would only read that genre.I'm glad I came across this manga cause I really enjoyed it.

Story 9/10
It may not be so special and someone used,but it was well executed.The bad boy becomes good boy for the girl he loves is not so rare.But making the two rivals brothers is something else.I also liked how things developed lately although some of the events were sad,but the twists were nice and needed to a simple story as this cause they enriched it.Like I said in ... my previous sentence it indeed is a simple story,easy to follow and can be enjoyed by many.

Art 9/10
For a shoujo manga the art is excellent(notice that I didn't use "perfect").I mostly find myself dropping a manga(usually shoujo) for its art,but this one was different.The characters were really beatiful and cute while still maintain the characteristics of how shoujo characters should be(you know big eyes,skinny etc.)

Character 10/10
I think the main characters had really grown up,both mentally and physically,by the end of the series,matured,viewed things the world in other way they previously were and all this stuff.I was really pleased with all this.Not to mention that it can be risky making a nice character sometimes act the other way around,which is expected to disappoint his fans but the results were pretty nice.

Enjoyment 10/10
I won't deny it that it's one of the few mangas that has given me enjoyment just by reading one chapter of it and making me want to read the rest.That's all I have to say.I also would read it many more times but I have other manga I want to read and so I won't re-read this anytime soon.

Overall 9/10
Why you ask,it's near perfect but sometimes I found it a bit predictable.If I had read it at a younger age I'm sure I would have given this a 10 and I'd be worshipping this(nah,just exaggerating)

"And One day for sure it will turn into Eternal Love" ~ Best way to describe this manga. Simple words telling you an story of love that had to be and love that always will be.

As it is an shoujo manga it is quite hard to write and decent review because of how shoujo plot goes ... Yes i do agree its always the same but lets look at this manga now and no other but only Moe Kare!! Our writer Ikeyamada, Go tells us an story about an 15 years old girl Wakamiya, Hikaru who lives in her own little world dreaming of finding ... her prince Yep yep that kind of prince who would save her in a pinch any time anywhere.
Writer takes us on an tour trough many different roads ... Of falling in love for the first time , Finding out what true love is , rejecting love and finding that someone special teaching us about biter sweet first love and how unforgettably it can be ... even when you fall in love again you will still remember those first doki doki in your heart.
With numerous events 3 people feelings meet together and escalate into dramatic events which lead to an ending that is most fit.

As it is very easy to see what kind of ending such mangas meet its easy to read because there are not much escalation just going from romance to dramatic events back to romance with a lil bit of comedy added here and there... I guess that is why shoujo manga is soo easy to read ^^

Looking at other side of this manga it doesn't have too many chapters just that enough mount to tell this little story I would call it the good point because if it can be told in 30+ chapters than it won't get booring of waiting for what to happen.

Just a Little Pointer ... which i thought of when i first read this manga: Never look too far because you would be surprised who you can find just right beside you.

First Love, First Meeting



Our heroine Wakamiya, Hikaru was in kind of a pinch one day if i may say while suddenly one of the princes show up and save her and leaving with bad first impression while getting nick named "Perverted Prince" Next day out heroine meets that same guy ... But hey he act differently ? he doesn't remember a thing ? And why is his eyes different colour? Thus our writer begins the Boy Meets girl scene ... the most obvious shoujo scene to exist.
Its practically how our heroine starts her first love out.

Being Rejected



After meeting her prince she found her love and it seemed so sweet ... to sweet so writer had to make it bitter and thus started dramatic events there were few guys one truly deeply in love with her and even being rejected all the time he was strong and well love can't lose right? So as it is said best medicine to heal an wound is the thing that caused the wound.

Getting accepted, Finding Eternal Love



After numerous times of being rejected one of our protagonists gets accepted finally "Are you sure? I won't ever let you go again..." This is the sweetest event in whole manga that made my own heart go Doki Doki but what made me smile was heroines face that smile of finding true love and understanding that that "Prince" doesn't need to be perfect and that he was always by her side...

Overall


Writer told as an story of 15 year old girl falling in love for the first time ... Covered with sweetness and mixed with sour tears He took an simple high school themed romance which escalated to drama and went down to romance that is why i call such mangas Escalator type.

An Otaku? only laid your eyes into 2D Hot Bishies and stuff? Doesn't know love? knows love? Got Love Troubles? Experienced Love Affairs? Caught in a love triangle?
If you can relate to those questions above, this manga is probably for you.

STORY: 8/10
story is pretty cliche.An otaku girl who only laid her eyes to anime bishies and doesnt anything about love, fell inlove with a hot popular guy at school who always saves her. this is a bit over dramatic for a highschool love. yet it might caught your attention. Who wouldn't be interested in reading a story between a normal, unpopular girl who ... caught the attention of hot and popular boy twins. Then comes a girl who's gonna be a villain and steal away the prince. Yeah, most of us might think that these kind of story are everywhere. But i cant help myself in wanting to read more. The struggles by the main lead would surely get every girl's attention, wanting us to know how will she overcome everything and do the right decisions about love.

ART: 10/10
I gave the art a perfect 10. Who wouldn't love Hot bishies drawn by Go-sensei? her art is probably one of the factors why i love this manga.

CHARACTERS : 9/10
As for the female lead, Hikaru, i like her yet i hate her in way that she's too shallow minded, weak, insensitive and over dramatic. But that was at first, as the story progressed, the manga shows that she became a pretty strong girl emotionally and mentally. I love how she changed for the better. unlike those stupid female protagonists that start being a weakling and ended at being a weakling. It's somehow inspiring for us to see a girl who strives to fight for her love and happiness. the two male lead is very likeable too. at first, i cant even choose who's the better guy for Hikaru. Aside from having the same looks *which is a really hot bishie. though i like Arata more* , they really love the female lead in a way that it can make you feel jealous and wanting someone like them have you by your side. and for the female antagonist. She's not annoying. i dont know why i feel that way but Go-sensei didnt make her too bitchy that makes someone want to kill her. *LOL. i guess its better that way. i dont like antagonists that do something so evil and too unrealistic.

ENJOYMENT: 10/10
This manga is one of my first few reads and it really does give me 100% enjoyment. The comedy, the struggles, the heartbreak, and the decision-makings, those reasons make everything enjoyable for me.


OVERALL: 10/10
I gave this 10. reading this manga makes me want to go back to my Highschool days and brings back the memories where i want a hot bishies falling in love at me. It's sometimes enjoyable and sometimes annoying but in the end you cant help yourself to stop reading.

iis very good shoujo i am very surprise hikaru become very beautiful girlin the manga the story is good but i don t like the end and ami i m sad the other person i not say ne name i recommand this manga it s very good i love shoujo manga

Its story abt a otaku girl-Hikaru who fell i love with a gentle and attractive person named Takara ...who seems to be so slow in understanding other person's feelings for him. His half brother - Arata who is same age as her a big pervert, also love her and deeply care about her, but unable to convey his feelings to her.
Its very romantic love triangle and tells us that
love is not sumthing u can snatch it from anyone but is the sacrifice for ur loved ones.
About the art, the character are very cute and attractive.

I recommend this manga for those who like Romance, ... Cute guys.
