This is the first tragedy that I have read that's why I have a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, most of my expectations were not met.

This is a story of two young lovers who tried to fight the impossible. The girl is sick of a fatal disease and as she struggle to live a day at a time, the boy tried his best to keep her smiles. A story that can be considered cliche nonetheless a beautiful and young love.

I did enjoy reading the story, especially the last part. But I'd say that the story is still lacking. Yes, it's heartfelt but not enough to ... drive me to tears. Also, the character development is not quite amusing. It seems that during the phase of the plot, the characters are growing backwards.

I do not know if it's bad that I hoped for a lot in this manga, but one thing is for sure reading it is not by mistake.

From a romance lover point of view, I'd say that the romance here is near 0. In fact, I'm still wondering up until now why this is tagged as romance given the fact that there is only a chapter left for it to end. Though it's given that way, I really do enjoy reading this manga.

The story took place in a fantasy kingdom where there is war. And to avoid more bloodshed, a treaty has been agreed upon by the two kingdoms involved - marriage. Indeed, the prince and the princess of the opposing countries then got themselves in a political marriage. Sounds familiar, right? ... But their edge on this kind of "rusty" plot is the age of the princess - she's just 10 years old. The grade I've given to the story is 8 which is pretty high. The reason behind that is not because I have a thing for lolicons (which is the exact opposite, thank you very much) but rather for the phasing of the story. The princess is just 10 years old and with that age, the love/affection she's showing to the other party is considerable of her age.

I find it hard to judge the art simply because I talk IT in me. I am in no position to judge whatsoever since I am not someone who can magnificently draw something. Obviously, since it's a good drawing... I easily give it a 10.

For the character, I have given it a perfect 10 simply because character development is very much present. Moreover, the development of characters is neither rapid nor slow considering the length of the manga which is 2 volumes only. Because of this, the manga is really amazing and it won't bore you out.

As I've stated above, I really enjoy reading this manga. It's such a shame that there isn't much romantic development between the main characters. But I guess, I wouldn't be able to take it if there's much on romance considering the age of the lead female character. Also, I find it refreshing to read since this 10 year old girl can act maturely, still with consideration of her age of course!

The overall score is 9/10.

I am really saddened by the fact that this manga is not that popular with many readers. Because of all the mangas I've read, this one is my favorite.

Story: The story in general is about pure love. The couples involved in the story have their own ways in showing how great their love is for their partner. To put it simply, the love depicted has already crossed the borders of what typical love is. Typical in a sense that there is only a tingling sensation. Yes, that element is also here but on another level. Because once you've captured the message, the sensation is ... different - it's heartfelt and not merely a tingling sensation.

Art: The art is also wonderful. The characters and the setting were magnificently drawn. And I believe that the author really took time in doing a good research on this. The boarding school for the elites really does look like one. The characters are drawn with an aura showing who they are.

Characters: The characters are rich teenagers studying in an elite boarding school. They are not normal teenagers in a sense that they have already experienced LIFE more than an adult does.

Moreover, the characters are simply not there to make you feel the youthful spring of love. Rather, they are there are spices to make you feel how great love can be. Though most of the characters are rich, they are not princes and princesses in a fairytale.

Enjoyment: I really enjoy reading this manga since there are no others like this. It's very unique and heartfelt.

Overall: For the overall, I think this is the best. I'll repeat it again, this story is so unique. I tried finding some alternatives for this but I haven't found any. And the same goes for the degree of feeling. I haven't read other mangas that made my heart swoon.

The story is well-written. It's not just the usual shounen manga that's filled with action nonetheless since there are tidbits of angst and drama. Though the target audience of Naruto is usually the male populace, it is not a wonder that it can also captivate the hearts of the females.

Angst, drama and a little bit of romance mixed with action packed adventure is indeed wonderful. No wonder Naruto is sitting at the top spot for years now.

Indeed the story is magnificent since it is unique and captivating. Plus the fact that there are a lot of mysteries waiting to be unveiled makes fans ... go gaga over it. It's not a wonder how and why this manga has been sitting at the top spot for years now.

The anime is a must-watch while the manga is a must-read. Naruto is, indeed, amazing.
