There is no other word for this manga other than STRANGE!

i'm not saying its bad. i'm saying its the most bizarre story i have ever read in my life.. wait till you pick this up..

First off lets go in order:

Story: It picks up kind of fast and never really gets too in depth. It's kind of meant to just be humorous and so on.

What you see is what you get, basically.

... Art: I will say there is nothing wrong with the art. I maybe would have liked to see an older main character but i would have liked to see ayase slightly older.

Character: There isn't really anything that stands out about any of the characters and nothing that really makes them special. Um.. then again i don't know how else they would have gone further considering there isn't a large plot.

Enjoyment: If i were to just judge this comedy alone, it is quite amusing and can keep you entertained. The manga is quite unique.

Overall: not my cup of tea story and romance wise.. I think its more about the sex and the comedy. I will rate this manga a 6.

I wish the story went further. You definately won't be disappointed though.. hot characters, lots of sex... and its cute :) The story mostly focuses on the two main characters.. then again it should be enough to keep you entertained.

Story: I enjoyed the plot/summary a lot. I will say there are some things that are predictable, regarding love rivals and jealousy, but what yaoi book haven't you see these types of situations. hehe I could certainly look past the predictable aspectts of it just as long as its a good story, you know?

Art: Even for very little art in the book, you really didn't need that much art considering Kyoiko Akitsu was very descriptive as she wrote. I did enjoy what illustrations were found in the book that helped support some of the more dramatic scenes. There was only one illustration in color towards ... the front and there was probably about 6 other images within the 178 pages pf story. For me, i'll rate it an 8.

Character: I really liked that this particular novel didn't take place in japanese surroundings like most japanese manga. The characers in the story therefore were much different from the main characters lifestyle, which makes Satsuki's character stand out more in the story.

(I had to chuckle when a few characters question the main character if he/she is chinese. Realistically, i think that is generally what most people who arent familiar with japanese think when they meet someone of an asian background. Chinese is very common. Considering many authors write stories after their own personal experiences in their travels, I bet they were asked that same question often when writing this book. lol)

Enjoyment: This book kept me entertained all the way to the end. I didn't expect a certain something at the end of the book and was kind of glad that the book kind of left me suprised at one part. (since there were many predictable scenes.) I rate this a 9. It would be a 10 if the ending didn't go really fast.

Overall: I will have to say I certainly wish this book was longer because it all ended really fast as it approached the wedding ceremony... however, getting past the sudden conclusion of A Promise Of Romance, I'm definately glad I picked this book up. It has inspired me to read more novels based off of japanese characters, considering this was my first... ya im usually one of those who prefer regular manga's because I enjoy looking at the illustrations as I read. I rate this novel, a 9! I could definately see myself reading this book again sometime in the future.

This story will definately leave you teary eyed at some point or another. If you are capable of reading something very dramatic then i definately recommend this manga.

Bottom line... great artwork, crappy story.. its just way too boring to read. But thats just me.. to be honest i think the manga just starts out way too fast.

this is a very cute manga. Took about an hour to read through both volumes in the book store. I wouldn't consider this a manga I would spend my money on even though I love the artwork and the characters. I feel there could have been a lot more developed in the storyline. However, for what its worth, the story is a cute and quick one but worth reading, even if you don't plan on buying it.

I dont mean to write such a bad review. it probably won't be any helpful but all i can say about this manga is that i vote it a 10.. this is probably one of the best i've read. :) I definately don't think anybody could possibly waste their time reading this. If you like yaoi this is a good manga for you to get into. Take my recommendation ;)

Story: When I first began reading this manga it started off kind of slow. Relationships in this manga kind of picks up around the third volume. I wouldn't suggest this series if all you are looking for is sex.. because this story isn't about the sex. Infact, its very light when it comes to being descriptive during those scenes. However, this story is basically based around the relationship between father and son and the relationship between the father and the man he falls in love with. It is still a wonderful love story by volume 3. I won't give any spoilers away but you will ... also learn more about the son.

I rate the story a 9.

Art: This art wasn't really my style but the art did grow on me as I read. I would maybe rate the art a 7. I have definately seen much worse drawings than this.

Character: I like all of the characters. I don't really have much to say about the characters other than the fact that most of the guys in this manga are pretty much more masculine vs more feminine. I guess i'll give it an 8.

Enjoyment: I really enjoyed this series. Like i said it starts off slow but it gets really good in the 3rd volume in my opinion. It could have been slightly better.. I wish that there was a little more romance and sex scenes. I rate Enjoyment an 8.

overall: Overall I vote this manga series an 8. It was a great read and addictive after reaching the middle. I have seen many better series but I have seen terrible, so in my opinion this series is generally worth the read for any yaoi fan (who doesn't care if there is a lot of sex in it).

I think i need to add something here.. i don't expect anybody to vote how useful my review was.. but let me just say this. (This is just my opinion ^_^) There is a lot of responses to this anime that there is a lot of filler and pointless scenes. however i have to disagree.

1) Each of the characters grow more and more into their roles.

2) Not always will they go to a dimension and find a feather... so of course there will be episodes that seem there is no reason that they should even be there. The characters have no idea what realm the ... feathers are in.

2) Clamp is trying to introduce all of their previous characters from other animations into this one. So i'd assume some of it is just for our enjoyment of seeing them appear.

3) If the anime moved any faster then there are things that happen that are impossible to answer if the story doesnt explain itself as it goes...

I do know not to expect it is exactly like the manga but it doesnt always follow exact. i hope my words are clear enough. I will say this.. The OVA is the best of the series so far. Very dark like the manga and its by a different studio, not bubble-bee. =) Please watch it when you finish the first 2 seasons of this wonderful series.

I'll warn in advance, its hard to make a decent review without spoiling something so if you fear i might spoil the anime don't read this. :)

Its hard to compare this anime to others i've seen because this story more so reminds me of a fairytale that doesnt involve adventure or fantasy. Probably the closest to it would be Petite Princess Yucie (Puri Puchi Yucie). Its only similarity being a palace where a commoner falls in love with the prince (only in this story the princess and commoner both fall for each other at the same time). Yoake is a nice story where a princess ... of the moon falls in love with a normal student of an academy, from Earth. Its a nice and happy story based about love and how rivals (two different planets) can come together as one.

There is a lot of humor in this anime which makes each episode pretty enjoyable. The only reason i don't rate the enjoyment a 10 is because i would have liked to see Feena and Tatsuya do more maybe with school life or outside the "princess duties". Maybe to show their relationship develop more. I rate it a 9,

The art is very pretty, expecially Princess Feena and her moon kingdom. I also like how cute some of the other characters look.

I rate the sound a 10. There was nothing wrong with it.

This anime overall deserves a 9. It pretty much has everything you want. Romance, Comedy (and chibi's :D), protagonists, Drama, and some light action. Its too bad most of the 'action' doesnt occur until the last 3 episodes.. but really it makes sense because the princess is visiting the Earth through the majority of the anime so things don't heat up until her return. If your more into full action anime, this anime isn't for you. It has a wondurful ending. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
