SynopsisYamato is ready for a fresh start. So when his aunt invites him to stay rent-free in her big-city boarding house in hustling, bustling Tokyo, Yamato jumps at the chance. There’s just one teensy-weensy catch: It’s an all-girl housing complex and spa! Things get even more nerve-racking when Yamato meets his neighbor Suzuka, a beautiful track-and-field star. She’s not just the cutest girl Yamato’s ever met, she’s also the coolest, the smartest, and the most intimidating. Can an ordinary guy like Yamato ever hope to win over a girl like Suzuka?

Both are great romance mangas that put the male potagonist in difficult situations.
This is a very similar manga to Suzuka becasue they both revole around love that really starts around the time they are entering high school. Ichigo 100% is more comedy based as a manga where as Suzuka ia more on the romantic side. These are the two best mangas I have ever read so if you like one I would chek out the other.

Oct 12, 2007? chapters 12 of 22 people found this review helpful OK this is my 3rd reviews in this month. I don't think that I have improved since last 2 reviews, but i hope you all can bear with it...Ok I'll talk about my first impression about this manga first. I have read the first few chapters first and...What can I say is: 'Wow, this is definitely a manga that I'm looking for!' And as you can see, I give 9 to this manga. I don't sure if you want to hear about this, but I actually finished this manga in only 2 days! I writes this review immediately after... i finished the manga because I’m really, really love it and I can't wait to recommend to all of you!
Well I'll starts with the story first. One word to describe it, very well! Every praise has its very own reasons, and I didn't praise it blindly. Before I continue with it, I have a small advice to -16 children...DON'T READ THIS MANGA; you are still too young to read it! If you insist to read it, read it for your own discretion. OK, enough with it. The story is bit mature, it involve many nudity scenes and some sex in it. I pretty love it anyway though... What I'm really like about the story is the romance in it. Although it can't be great as Titanic, but sometimes it can bring tears out of you (In my case, no!). Not only that, sometimes it may make you really pissed off! This may seems like a negative comment, but unfortunately, it is wrong. That 'pissed off' feelings will bring you even want to know what will happening next! I don't want to bother about the spoilers so read it yourself. 'Prides come before a fall'. And you know what I meant. The reason I didn't give the story full marks is the plot is repetitive. It dint really affect the storyline but somehow it pissed me off! Read the manga carefully and you know what i meant by it. If you don't know what I mean after reads it, just simply ask me. Oh, the story is pretty hilarious, too!
OK the manga will be judged based on the artwork besides the story. It will be useless to have a great story but weak artwork (I know many of you will oppose my opinion but... well to put it simply, this is my style) to tell you, I really like the artworks of this manga! The mangaka have put lot of efforts in it! They have detailed background, and great face expressions (The smile of Suzuka always moves my heart...No! I don't have any 2D girl’s complex!)! What I really want to say is, they have some Slam Dunk styles in when the characters in the SD mode (SDs or super deformed characters are a common image found in manga). I can't say I hate it, though.
The characters you ask? Great! They have put a lot of efforts in character designing! I really like it! But for some reasons, I can't give full marks to it. Nothing to be described though, sorry.
I'm pretty sure that I have told you that i have read the manga in only 2 days. So I give it 10 foe enjoyment without hesitate! As I say, you will really wants to know what will happen next throughout the story, in other word, suspense! This feeling is enough for me to give it 10.
Overall results for this manga are 9. Recommended for all manga lovers. Is you wants to read it, simply go to www.onemanga.com . Don't worry, it is a safe sites and very user-friendly!

Aug 21, 2007161 of ? chapters read 8 of 24 people found this review helpful This is the best manga that I have ever read and can't wait for more to come out. If you have seen the anime then this is pretty much the same at the beginning there are some small differences but for the most part they are the same at least the first 54 chapters I think. then that is were the story continues on. This is probably the best story that I have ever read it has great ups and downs and some real good surprises. This is one of the few anime or manga series that I have ever seen that I ...could not see everything coming. so for me this is great. read more

Jul 26, 2008166 of ? chapters read 2 of 10 people found this review helpful WOW! i just finished reading it, and i don't think it's strange for me to cry at it, if you watched the anime, you MUST read the manga, the anime isn't even the 50% of the whole story.
This manga is just like the problems the couples are facing right now all over the world, and it shows now all the problems go away, and everybody has the old fashioned "happy ending" but, isn't that what we are looking for? anyways, I REALLY recommend it, I never thought I'd like more a m...anga then an anime, but life is the way it is, and I'm glad I spent the hours I did reading this, because it's amazingly awesome, and everybody should read it, so for all of you, READ THIS MANGA!!!!!! IT'S THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER READ, INCLUDING BOOKS, FANFICS, AND ANIMES!!!!!!
READ IT! read more
