It's a great manga! If you like school's stories with love and funny situations, you have to read this manga. You'll enjoy it!

I like this manga because I like stories like marmalade boy: teenagers who find their first love and they must pass hard situations; but the story always have an humor tone and the characters are amused and cheerful, though at times they are serious and matures too.

I really recommend this manga, especially to the girls ^^. It's very beautiful and amused.

P.D.: I'm sorry if some words and frases are wrong, I'm spanish!

Preliminary

I would highly, highly recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys a light-hearted romance with some comedy.

Unlike most other romance manga, this story starts off with unexpectedly, surprising you. While the romance between the two main characters takes a bit to develop, once they're in love, there's a lot of interesting stuff that happens. You'll find yourself wondering what's gonna happen next.

The art is not complex, though it is not simple nor ornately drawn. I'd say the art is just about right, allowing you to appreciate it while letting you pay more attention to what's happening in the story. The author really illustrates the character's read more
