I found this story to be extremely interesting and realistic. Usually in manga, the girl falls in love with a guy and stays with him and eventually moves on to the second guy and stays with him permanently if it's a love triangle. However, this manga portrays life- girls that are unsettled on their love. The truth is, we don't understand our hearts and our love interests tend to change as well. The same happens with the female protagonist of Parfait Tic, Fuuko. She's uncertain as to her feelings for Daiya and Ichi. And Daiya and Ichi are so lovable as well. Of course, the ... male protagonists are clichéd. You have Daiya, the fun, lively, and funny one who's in danger of failing school. He appeals to the fun-loving Fuuko chan and she takes a liking to him. And then on the other hand, you have the cold Ichi kun, the smart one who doesn't take any nonsense. He's more secretive and has a lot more complexity to his character than Daiya. However, when push comes to shove, he too has feelings for Fuuko. It's a battle between the cousins for Fuuko's love. Who will win?

The only flaw with this series is its length. I feel like some parts are dragged out way too long...especially with Fuuko when she's rejected by one guy and has to learn how to move on...or when she's confused about her feelings for one or more of them. It gets annoying when you need to plow through 10+ painful chapters of her feeling remorse and depression when she sees the face of the guy that she used to like and now has to learn to act normal with. It was extremely annoying and repetitive, especially since this cycle of like, love, express feelings, get rejected repeats two/three times. And the guys...at times I felt like they were being cowards, Ichi mostly. He acted like a spoiled brat rather than that masculine shojo male figure girl's look up to. He doubted himself and he caused Fuuko to feel pain...now that does happen in manga, but it takes him forever to realize his mistake and his true feelings.

GAH I wish the series will end soon because it's taking forever. I think I know who she ends up with so for those of you who have read up to chapter 114 [because I'm updating myself with onemanga.com], there's probably a final arc where she will switch her love interest to the other guy [don't want to mention any names], and I think that'll be the conclusion of the story...or so I hope.

Anyhow, definitely a cute one to read so try it and see for yourself :D

Parfait Tic is one of my fav mangas out there! Personally I love the story line from Vol 1 up to around 15.. It is refreshing and super funny in the earlier volumes, where the characters are still friends with each other. But it became draggy especially the part where Fuuko starts crying about Ichi and so on. I love the way the author plans the story, where she focuses on the development of the character's feelings throughout...As a reader, I can empathise with the characters since their feelings were well developed in different stages. Also, I love the way the author uses symbolic items ... to represent the story and character's feelings. Plus..her artwork is SPLENDID!! Especially at the later volumes, Ichi and Daiya looks hot and Fuuko is very pretty too! A very mature drawing skills is inevitable.

To tell you the truth, I was ANNOYED at this...

It started out fine for the first 40 or so chapters, but it got annoying because I could predict the worst things for me that would happen and IT FREAKING HAPPENS!

It's a pretty okay manga and all but she just kept switching guys and it pissed me off that when she was with the guy she liked first, she suddenly starts liking the other and.. you know I won't go on cause this might contain some spoilers...

The only thing I liked about this is the art really... and the character development is pretty good... but personally, ... I don't like this manga.

What I like about PT is that Fuuko is realistic and it's easy to feel sympathy for her.
She does a brilliant job of showing how you can mature and grow from each crush that you have.
Plus, I found it very difficult to side with either male counter-part. When you think that the energetic and fun-loving Daiya is the one, quiet, arrogant Ichi shows his softer side and sweeps you off your feet.

Sigh, you'll find yourself in the love triangle in no time.

Overall, Parfait Tic was a pretty good manga. At first, the characters seemed very likable, but as the story continued on, it became a very sweet manga to a story plot that repeated itself.
I got so sick of seeing 2 chapters of laughter and a happy love life, then 5 - 10 chapters of the heroine crying her eyes out and the two boys trying to sweep her off her feet again.
Luckily, I got to the end before I threw my Ipad down.

This is really one of my favourites. You should know that I don't really read many mangas. I often start some and soon lose interest in them. But with this one it was different. I couldn't stop reading and it drove me crazy to have to wait months, yea even years to finally read the ending today. It's hard not to spoiler on this one, but I'll try.
The characters are awesome, they could be real. All of the story could be real. That's probably the reason I like that manga so much.
The one thing bugging me a little is that the protagonist couldn't decide ... on what she wants and that the guy she likes couldn't really make good decisions either.
BUT the worst thing: I couldn't stop crying. I was constantly crying. Sometimes because things were cute, in the end especially because they were sad.
The ending is a little bit unsatisfying, but it could have been worse.
All in all I really do recommend reading this manga! It was gorgeous! I am sure I will read it again one day (if I can bear all the crying :D).

Very heart-throbbing romance. I read 38 chapters in one sitting. Kinda of clichey with the typical love triangle. Boy1 likes girl who likes Boy2, but there's no characters that I absolutely hate... who acts so evil it brings forth frustration... those are bad for my heart. So bascially a love story more on the lighter side that displays "falling in love" and "friendship".

Parfait Tic begins with the promise of a love triangle between a seemingly ordinary girl and two good-looking boys who are cousins. The fact that they live in neighboring apartments helps the three of them build relationships with each other and keep involved in each other's lives, though maybe a little bit too involved. Nevertheless, the mangaka playfully details the life of a girl caught in the throes of new love well enough to keep the reader engaged for the entire time.

After reading the synopsis, I sighed and thought to myself, "Ugh, here's another predictable love triangle that will be dragged out for way too ... long." On the contrary, however, Parfait Tic proved me quite wrong. Sure, a love triangle involving one nice playboy dude and a grumpy cold one could be predictable at first, but the mangaka uses the length of the manga to keep the reader unsure about who Fuuko-chan will end up with in the end. This is probably the best love triangle in a shoujo that I've ever encountered.

I was pleasantly pleased to find myself laughing multiple times while I read this manga because Fuuko-chan was a funny person and always seemed to get herself into something hilarious. Some of the newer manga try to make something funny and don't succeed, but Parfait Tic retains the charming humor it had since its publication.

Also, what seems like a tame setting is really very comfortable to read. If you like slice of life, Parfait Tic can really capture it all due to the characters living in the same apartment complex. It's really fun to see the boys managing life on their own, Fuuko tackling the difficulty of school, them worrying about their futures, and just seeing them all handle the feelings that they have in new experiences.

The characters don't seem to shine very much at first, but through the course of the story, their personalities round out and they become quite realistic, shaped by the hardships they have to face.

Fuuko-chan is a brown-haired girl who is known among her friends as a cheerful girl who smiles a lot, even when she's in pain. She can be silly when she's embarrassed and funny without even trying, and she loves to play with the kids around her apartment. Fuuko likes to arrange her hair in different ways every day, so it's interesting to see her in each new chapter. She isn't the prettiest girl in the school, but she's honest and good at heart. Falling in love changes her for the better.

The two boys who move in have contrasting personalities and appearances: Daiya is outgoing, flirty, and carefree with spiky dark hair, while his cousin Ichi is taller, brown-haired, stoic, and studious. Daiya is friendly with Fuuko as he is with all girls, while Ichi almost looks at her with disdain at first. The both of them turn out a lot different from their stay at the apartment and interactions with Fuuko, though.

I wasn't so excited about the artwork. It was from many years ago and I prefer the style of newer shoujo. However, I did notice an improvement in between chapters from older to newer, or perhaps it was just the characters maturing. The mangaka tends to emphasize lips, and noses are a little larger than I'm used to, but otherwise the art is fine.

While I'm not too satisfied with the ending of Parfait Tic, that's solely based on the ship on which I sailed. It's one of the greatest shoujo manga I've read in a while. I laughed a bunch at the situations Fuuko-chan found herself in and even identified with her on some of her feelings. A shoujo manga that can induce those emotions in me deserves to be read by a bunch of people.

I enjoyed this manga, but at the same time it was super annoying. A thing I can't stand about the protagonist is that she can't decide which guy she wants to be with. I understand that it's possible to fall in love and have feelings for two people at the same time, however my issue with Fuuko is that she keeps dwelling on it throughout the entire manga. She just can't seem to make up her mind until the final chapter, hurting not only herslef but everyone around her and to be quite honest, it's really tiresome to keep at it for a 150 chapters. ... The fact that Ichi declared his love for her and wanted to be with her, only to get "confused" about his feelings the moment he saw his crush from the past, is proof that his feelings for Fuuko was never as strong as he claimed to begin with, and the fact that Daiya promised her to never make her cry the way Ichi did, but still did even more so, really annoyed me as well. If it werent for these things I would definitely give it a higher rating.

this is my first time writing a review, so bear with me.
Story-7. The story was cute, and very realistic for a shoujo manga, but after chapter 80 or so the plot started to move a bit too slow for my tastes. Also the plot was a bit generic and could have had something added to make it more unique.
Art-7. The art was similar to many styles i have seen before. At the start it was not so nice, but got a little better as the story went on. Also, the boys were nice, but for the most handsome guys in the story, they weren't so ... handsome. Overall though, the art wasn't too bad.
Characters-8. I qiute enjoyed the characters. The mangaka goes through quite a bit of character developement, and each character has a distinct and unique personality. There is also the fact that the troubles they go through seem a lot more realistic than most shoujo's, so you can connect with them more.
Enjoyment-8. Even with some flaws, this is still quite an enjoyable story, and i sa no reason to drop it halfway through. Overall, it is a good manga

Ah! Parfait Tic...this manga test my patience and self control not to throw my cellphone until I finish it, of all the shoujo manga I've read this one is the most annoying. You may wonder why I didn't drop it if it annoys me this much, well...Parfait Tic is not that very bad that it didn't deserve to be in the dropped list, it has those sweet chessy moments that's good for the heart also i feel like I will be able to support poor fuuko by finishing the manga.

It would have been better if this was only 50 chapters, like what other people ... commented 149 chapters is waaaaaaayyyy to draaaaggy for the story where most of the chapter fuuko is crying and the guys are being ass****...the story shows the bittersweet feelings of love, rejection, moving on and loving again which is actually nice and realistic but when the mangaka make this unending cycle it became irritating...I was not satisfied with the ending, 149 chapters and yet the ending only got half or less of the final chapter, I think the ending deserve atleast one whole last chapter to show a much better conclusion/end.

Fuuko is very admirable and has a strong heart, for me she is not like those main character who are being indecisive when they are in a love triangle, when she decides to move on from one guy she tries her best and face the other guy forward. For me Ichi and Daiya are the most irritating character in this manga...yeah both are good looking and charming and sweet in their own and both are stupid :p...one confess to her but choose to be with another girl the other promise not to make her cry but ends up doing it anyway...when you thought that she is going to have her happiness those guys shatter it just like that...it make's me wanna say "hey!Fuuko why don't you just leave those 2 guys alone and maybe your life will be much better and happier"....supporting characters are good, I love Akio and Isocchi and Fuuko's friends are all nice...Iori makes my blood boil, if MAL has an area for Hated Character (like how we have favorite character list in our profile) Ichi and Iori will probably in my list :p
