Ok, I NEVER give manga's bad reviews like this, but this.. this manga was just horrible. God it makes my stomach turn. The insanity in Deadman Wonderland was nothing like this. Oh and SPOILERRSS
Story-6
Ok, the story is ok. Basically Beniko, the heroine, her boyfriend, whom she loved very much, dies and even before he died, she began having dreams of his brother Umi. I will express my hate from Umi in the character section. Anyways, she starts thinking of Umi and then after her boyfriend passes, Umi becomes a huge.. *censored* She's very indecisive if she likes him or not, and its very quick after ... her boyfriends death.. Oh, god, Umi hate will come up.
Art-9
The art was very good and detailed, Umi is kind of a insane character so the detailed work on him fits him perfectly. Beniko is pretty average, but Her boyfriend Sora and Umi are actually quite good looking.
Character-4
The heroine is so pathetic and weak, she totally lets Umi do whatever he wants to her. She lets him do things like sexually harassing her and yet she actually somewhat enjoys it even though her boyfriend JUST died. Sora was such a caring, sweet, lovable person, too bad he goes. Umi.. oh my god, Umi. I cannot stand him. He is so manipulative and he just makes my stomach turn. He basically manipulates Beniko by acting like Sora and he uses this as a pass to harm her in many ways, and Beniko is just so torn up inside, but she doesn't do anything about Umi. Umi is just a plain out psycho, his character is just awful. If you read the manga, you will understand.
Enjoyment-5
Although i do hate Umi, he does keep it suspenseful. Other than that, this manga makes me depressed. It's so sad to see even a drawn character be torn to pieces like that.

I'm surprised this manga doesn't have any reviews, I enjoyed it very much.
The manga has not finished English translations yet. Anyways..
Story-8
The story is placed I believe before the Edo period (don't quote me on that), this is set in a time where women weren't allowed to professional dancers. So basically, a dancer named Hakubi was adopted into a family that were all dancers, Hakubi is however, a girl, so she has to keep her gender a secret to do what she loves, dancing. It is very good and you have moments like:" whats going to happen next?" Will they discover Hakubi is a woman?" ... The romance is very good but they don't concentrate solely on romance, making the story very well thought out.
Art- 10
The art was amazing, one of the best in my opinion. It's very clean and all the characters are absolutely beautifully drawn. I saw the cover of this manga and already fell in love with it. The art is just amazing.
Character-9
The characters are pretty interesting. Hakubi is a very strong heroine and is very much dedicated to dancing. She is somewhat innocent too and a very pretty character. Souma is a very charming man, he has long hair and very handsome face, he is kind of a tease but is very much interested in Hakubi. Like Hakubi, he is very dedicated to his career, he can be full of surprises too sometimes. Ugen, is also a very charming man and is kind of a tease as well, he is a flirt, but clearly shows an interest in the heroine as well. All the characters are well thought out and will not disappoint you.
Enjoyment and overall-9
This manga's characters keep the manga very much enjoyable and the suspense of Hakubi's secret and amazing art make this manga very entertaining. The time period is perfect for this manga. Overall it is great and I highly suggest it to anyone.

I have many questions for this manga, Why is this so enjoyable? Why are the characters so funny? Why is Izumi so good looking for a manga character? There are so many more questions. If you haven't noticed, i really enjoy this manga.

Story 8/10
I rate this an 8 because I enjoy the story very much, but not to the point where my ovaries explode. I'm not a fan of a super complex story line, i typically enjoy simple, down to earth ones. I like it because it evolves around a girl, Hori, who is very popular and sociable at school but is like a motherly ... figure towards her younger brother when she gets home. She wears no make, puts up a pony tail, enjoys cleaning, and cooking when she is at home. However, Izumi is also like her. At school, he wears glasses and is commonly mistaken for an otaku when he actually wears many piercings and tattoos. He also doesnt wear glasses and is very handsome. The romance is good, its not over the top and the romance has the right amount of comedy as well.

Art 9/10
I am very picky over art. The art in this was very good actually. The characters all have detailed looks, but it isn't over the top detailed where it just makes you go "ew." The characters are good looking, especially Izumi. The art made this manga more enjoyable.

Character 9/10
I love all the characters. They all have their own individual personalities and their own funny sense of humor. The main lead, Hori, is a good heroine. I hate heroines who cry way too much and are over emotional. However, Hori is the perfect heroine I was searching for. She is tough and smart, she knows her emotions pretty well and she also handles them pretty well. Some manga characters are annoying with their constant emotions in love but Hori is not. Izumi is also a good character because he is not mean, he clearly shows his affection for Hori, and he is so sweet. His personality is like Hori and they both just look like a married couple. The other supporting characters are great too with their own sense of humor. Therefore, 9 out of 10 for characters.

Enjoyment 10/10
I gave this a 10 out of 10, I enjoyed this manga very much. I enjoyed it more than i expected too. The characters and story line give off a good amount of humor and romance making the manga very good rather than annoying. The characters are probably what are most enjoyable because they all tie into this manga perfectly.

Overall 9/10
I gave this a 9 out of 10 because I was not totally mesmerized, but I clearly enjoyed it very much. It's a great read, it kept me hooked and I anticipate the next chapter to come out. This is honestly a refreshing manga. Well done Horimiya, well done.

I think this manga is very good. The story line is about a girl named Suiren who is very shy and never talks to men due to all the attention males give her because of her beauty. Well, she develops an attraction to a male named Kawasumi who doesn't seem to look at her like all the other men do. Kawasumi is also shy a doesn't contact much with females. Well, I read this in less that 2 hours and I must say I love them. A typical romance plot is where a un-popular guy falls for a popular girl or a un-popular girl falls ... for the popular guy. This manga is unique because both characters are very shy, yet they both give a very good romance towards the audience. Suiren slowly begins to talk more to Kawasami as their relationship proceeds and same goes for Kawasumi. Both give off a cute romance that can make you feel fuzzy on the inside, this manga is a must read for those who enjoy a cute romance.
