No spoiler.

Art:
The art itself is actually… very old fashioned, but in the good way. The manga starts from 1998 but the drawing style is more like the 80s, where the guys are short, but still powerful while the girls are realistically beautiful. You won’t find flying/gel-filled weird hairstyle here. Neither will you find unbalanced/unhealthy body shape in this manga. I like this kind of art.

Story:
For the story, I must say it is quite close to the real world. I know some of you may start saying, it is impossible to have two ultra wealthy women + many other women to love you at once. But ... remember, the protagonist himself is from a respectable wealthy family, nothing strange about women admiring a gentle prince. Besides that, there are close to none supernatural stuffs in the manga, with some exceptions telling the stories of the protagonist’s dreams, so you get a clean, college student’s realistic love story. Which I think is a big plus for this type of manga.

Characters:
I will not talk about the characters in this review, because there ain't any special about them. You get different kinds of girls loving the same guy, just like any other harem mangas. But it is also because they aren’t any special, and that is what makes this manga so special.

Enjoyment:
Smooth and good. You won’t find any bittersweet stuff here where the mangaka teases you with some random male or some random event to spice up the manga. The manga is plain, but not to the point of boring. While the flow of the manga is plain, the mangaka sometimes reward the reader with some really sweet moments and special side stories.

Overall:
10/10. Just pure love story.

This manga contains explicit sexual content from time to time so it might not be up your taste, but now now, the manga is not targeting at young students, the manga talks about college life, which I think may interest a lot of young adults, who I guess will be pretty comfortable on seeing some… not so safe for work content. In conclusion, I highly recommend the manga if you are wondering if you should read it or not, or if you are finding a clean and beautiful romance story.

P.S. Just want to correct the other reviewer and the whole English world. The title actually means green comes from blue, but is greener than blue. Source? Google search 青出于蓝而胜于蓝。Green is actually Dian Qing, a type of indigo which ancient Chinese people extract and refined from a type of plant call Lian Lan (Blue) polygonum tinctorium, although this Green stuff comes out from a plant that is famously used for Blue ink, this Green stuff, after being processed, is bluer than the original plant. :D
