Aww, what a cute ending. They get married and no secrets are kept anymore. It felt somewhat rushed but I'm happy for them (:

I felt it wasn't rushed. Not much more could happen without the author throwing some crazy unnecessary things at us. My only regret is I'm to tired to read from start to finish tonight. My preferred way of ending a manga

So I know Koi Baka is counted in the chapter count but what about the other 2 chapters?

Edit: Never mind the contents for volume 4 shows it has 2 more one shots.

I like how they made it clear once again that Atsurou knew everything from the start, since the day she left for Hokkaido :)

Oh wow, I used to hype this series so hard. After reading better shoujo series, this one is only "good" at best.

The art was the strongest point and the main issues I had was the male MC loving Niina so quickly and accepting her. I know couples that are that far apart in age and it's not that easy to accept those things so quickly. This entire series makes everything so convenient, which can be a good thing or a bad thing. I liked the plot btw. It was pretty well done, although a bit predictable. Very pure series overall. Not a lot of series do reincarnation and stuff like that so props.

This series kind of reminds me of Ano Hana but more peppier.

I don't think I have ever fallen in love with families in a manga series as much as I have for this series. Niina's sister was awesome. Her dad as cute. Atsuro's family was touching.
Maybe it's the holiday spirit getting to m (4 days til Christmas!)...

Really nice read without the unnecessary drama. I really liked how Niina never revealed herself as Chitose, because that would be so unnecessary. The way it is now is fine enough, everything done with moderation.

The one part of the series I disliked though was Kanata, his moments often felt like a chore to read through. I don't like the way he treated Niina before his confession, and trying to do so much to lecture her and all that. (not knowing she actually has 15 years more experience than him)

Other than that it has been pleasant to read this manga. Definitely could've been much better but good enough as it is.

well actually he knows "her secret" from the start, but they understand each other and it's unnecessary to be told (just like her previous life never tell "i love you" but start going out anyway). but other than him, no one knows ..

it was a happy ending and it feels weird for nina to visit her own past self grave but i'm glad Atsurou knew she's chitose from the start

I think that because Niina wants to be loved as Niina and not as her past self, Atsurou decided to respect that and love Niina by who she is now, but it was proven several times that he knows that she was Chitose. Chitose was the one who saved the pregnant woman and Atsurou says to Niina "like when you saved the pregnant lady".
Atsurou finds out on chapter 2, when Niina takes Atsurou to see the Swans, that was a huge hint, because going to see the swans on Winter was a promise made between Atsurou and Chitose. Atsurou finally notices that Niina is Chitose's reincarnation. Atsurou knows, but he wants to love Niina as she is now and not as Chitose, and Niina herself doesnt want to be seen as Chitose. So, even though they didnt say directly "Niina is Chitose", it's very clear that he knew:)

As long as he knew, then I'm ok with whatever his decision is regarding Niina :)

It's a sweet romance, but disappointing how she never revealed her secret to anyone or had a strong flawless impact to solve her past issues. Most of her execution was awkward, especially how she asked to meet the parents of her past younger brother.

The reaction of the side characters is boring and annoying. Cliche wooting of age gap romance, but whatever.
The boy who liked her wasn't very useful to the story.
The angle of warning her situation of him being claimed as a pedophile and for her to be responsible in deciding her own future was realistic ... but without the fact of her never explaining who she was in her past life makes it odd for a middle aged man to fall in love with a 16 year old girl...
Thinking about it logically, it's uncomforting... A 25 year old man is comforted by a 10 year old girl, who she loves, and he admits his love and dates her at 16, then marries when she's 18 after graduation...

Without him knowing she was Chitose it kinda kills the unique point of her remembering her past life of dying at 15 and being his girlfriend, to then dating again without him ever knowing... I don't know. That's mature of her, but it's disappointing and wasn't executed extraordinarily, which turns this romance into a decent story. 6/10.
