I accidentally started on the last chapter (thank heavens it was a one-shot). For the first bit, I genuinely thought the girl was a cross-dressing guy and I think they had to specify she was a girl before I was sure. The one-shot was cute enough, though they got a little frisky for a shoujo.

The two-shot had a lot of dead potential. I really liked the lead male. The lead female . . . existed. The idea of the plot was really good. Get rid of the pervy ghost and it might've been good. As it was, I had a kind of disappointed "Ehhhh" feeling ... while reading it, which is probably why I dropped it after the first chapter, despite how short it was.

Warming: There may have been a near-rape scene with the ghost (which is gross AND weird). I don't know because I "hard nope"d it and skipped a couple pages.

DON'T READ THE LAST CHAPTER! It was the perfect shoujo manga until chapter 35, where it slowly started deteriorating. It was still alright, but then the last chapter (43, though I'd probably stop halfway through 42) absolutely destroyed everything I liked about the rest of the series.

I will write the rest of this review as if it ended with chapter 34. I absolutely LOVED this manga. It was so refreshing to read a healthy relationship for once. The lead guy is so gentle and so tender and I love how shows how much he respects his girlfriend by how he treats her. They don't let ... outside circumstances affect how they view each other and just treat each other like normal humans would. As some of the other reviewers mentioned, the story doesn't get bogged down with annoying "Why don't they just talk like normal human beings!" subplots. The characters actually talk through the misunderstandings that come up. There's a lot of character growth and the characters are well-developed. But mostly, I just loved getting to read a story where you actually get to watch the characters date and develop a sweet, selfless, wholesome relationship . . . Ahhhhh . . .



Seriously. Don't read the last chapter. It ruins the entire series and should have changed the genre.




P.S. The little brother was probably my favorite character. That kid was awesome!
