When I first read a summary about this manga it piqued my curiosity and I began to read it.
Story: 8 Ichiko did something terrible and ran away from home only to be found by a masked stranger and taken to his home where she is offered to live if she does the work of a maid. Each of those living within this household alll have their reasons for doing so, none moreso than Kohaku, the masked stranger. The story seems fairly normal, if a bit dramatic in regards to Ichiko's reason for fleeing from her home. There is a nice build up and you are lead to read more
STORY:
My initial expectations for this manga were low. I thought it would have a bunch of cliches, annoying love rivals, but syrupy-sweet shoujo moments. This surprised me with few cliches, sincere love growth, and a likable love rival. I wouldn't even call him a love rival; he was more of a playboy with a heart of gold. I was pleasantly surprised by the characters and story. However, this manga desperately needed a supernatural, horror, and tragedy label. Issho ni Neyou yo got so DEEP! I mean deep as in “dark.” Once the manga reached a certain number of chapters, junk got serious. It made me whine, read more
First of all, Issho ni Neyou yo gets big points for originality. I can honestly say I've never come across a protagonist with a problem like Usami Ichiko's. It's pretty bizarre, but also pretty interesting. And, certainly, the same could be said of Kohaku's entire character.
That said, while reading this, I spent a lot of time sitting there with a giant question mark over my head. There were times when I had a hard time catching on to the tone of the scenes I was reading, understanding what was happening in the plot, and (a big pet peeve of mine) read more
This may seem like an unnecessarily harsh rating for this series, but I was very disappointed.
Story: 4 This seems like the best place to tackle my issues. The writing style is extremely haphazard. Even if I take translation errors into account, there just aren't enough dialog or thought boxes to make up for the lack of explanations. If a manga is comparable to a storyboard, this one would be sent back for rework. The gaps between frames are difficult to interpret, and I found myself helplessly scrolling through multiple chapters, grasping for concrete actions. The conclusion of the series follows in read more
Story 8: The story was rather unique. I honestly have never really read a story quite like this but it isn't uncommon for a character to be picked up by a house (though it is more often a boarding house). I felt the plot was somewhat slow moving and that some of the information was forced in and there was a particular event involving Kohaku and the school (no spoiler- you'll either agree or disagree if you read it yourself) that I felt was thrown in to be some type of character growth but I felt like that flopped as well. Otherwise the way the
