It's cute, it's very cute. A fluffy and wholesome read that's very easy going. I'm simply not a big fan of episodic type stories and that is what this is. Your enjoyment really depends on how much you value plot with your manga. The chapters are incredibly short and there is absolutely no plot. Something quick to read when you have nothing else to read but not particularly memorable or interesting. The full color is nice though and the family is beyond sweet. I just wish the chapters were longer and there was some cross over with chapters so you get a sense of some ... development.

The art is absolutely stunning and the main couple is adorable. I love seeing healthy adult relationships, so if you're looking for a good josei give this a read. I also always like when a coworker romance scenario is done in a more unique / interesting field, in this case the entertainment industry since the two main characters are actors. It's cute and mature and there are drama elements throughout the story that were interesting, nothing ever felt over the top or too dramatic. So far I don't have any big complaints and am really enjoying this, can't wait to read more.

I adore the art style and find the storyline to be very fresh and new, but I am beginning to lose interest. I think this story is lacking depth and character building. The characters are becoming glaringly one dimensional and the story is getting too far along to accept that. Not much is happening in terms of the plot either, a love triangle was poorly introduced and that didn't add anything to anything. There's been some cute moments so far but overall, it's just an okay read. I think I'll give it another ten or so chapters and before deciding if I want to drop ... it or not, hopefully it begins to improve.

This couple is absolutely adorable! An invisible man and a blind woman who turn out to be the perfect match for each other enter into a relationship and omg their so cute. It reminded me of the manga Viel, though the art style is by no means comparable. The art style in this is quite simple, but I find it fits the story perfectly. I do wish this wasn't written in an episodic format, but I adore it nonetheless. If you're looking for a cute romantic story with lots of blushing, give it a read, it'll definitely have you smiling.

It's way too long and dragged out. I cried numerous times in the beginning of the story and was just captivated by the tragic events that unfolded, however, that captivation dwindled into boredom. The characters kept backtracking their progress and the same sad elements were overplayed so much I stopped crying and started rolling my eyes. It basically felt like this:

Introduction
Rising action
climax
climax
Falling action? No climax
climax X10000

I dropped this because reading it just became exhausting. I liked the beginning and would love to know where the characters end up, but I've attempted to finish this twice and failed both times, it's not worth it.

I don't understand why this is viewed as a praiseworthy manga. It felt like a shallow story that was trying to be something more. I thoroughly enjoyed the bits of poetry / diary-like entries, but at the same time I feel like it was trying to add depth to these characters and plots that just were too poorly done to be saved. Everyone was so over the top and unrelatable. I hated almost everyone and every plot line that was introduced. By volume ten or so I was just desperate for it to be over and honestly didn't care what happened to who. Perhaps some ... of the characters were meant to symbolize this or that, maybe this lesson was meant to be learned from this happening and whatever. At the end of the day the bad heavily outweighed the good in this manga for me. To try and see this series in a good light just takes so much reaching, and even then, it feels wrong. There certainly was potential, but in my opinion, it was destroyed about halfway.

I loved this, I truly did. The art style is so unique, and the characters were entertaining and had depth. The dialogue was great, I laughed out loud so many times and was smiling and crying with the characters from beginning to end. Bottom line, this is a terrific story that you need to read. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because of the ending. Have you read blue flag? Yes, the ending instantly made me think of it. Just like in blue flag the author decided to do a time skip and deprive us of the content we so desperately ... want to see. I'm disappointed, but unlike blue flag, I loved this story so extremely much that the ending didn't ruin this lovely reading experience. Please read this!

Positives:

- The art is gorgeous, just look at those covers
- The characters have depth
- Strong beginning
- Memorable scenes


Negatives:

... - Focused on side characters midway, didn't care for them
- After a certain point I did feel the story dragged on a bit, if it was longer/ongoing I'm not confident I would've continued to read
- The ending was just ... I hated it, so much so I immediately sold my copies


I do recommend reading at least the first three volumes since they are the strongest and do feel like a breath of fresh air, just know that those are the best in the series and volume 8 is certainly the worst

I knew from reviews that the romance was going to be lacking, and the main focus would be friendship. However, I felt that the friendship was even done poorly. The group of college students that are supposedly meant to be friends are so.. distant, so... uncaring in a way. They treat each other with little thought continuously and I fail to see any real connections between them. The one guy is in love with this girl and they're portrayed as being practically besties, but this one scene were the guy is confiding in her about his feelings and she just kinda... ignores him and changes ... the subject just rubbed me wrong. And this continued to happen in the three volumes that I read. I don't know how to describe it, it was like one character would have the spotlight for a chapter and just focus on them and it never felt like it ever focused on the connections between the characters. Sure, there was some heart felt moments but they weren't very impactful and felt overall weak.

The guy who is supposed to be the love interest is a pervert, in fact all the men in the first five chapters that I read were. The men made a hole in one of the girls bedroom wall and watched her as she sleep and stared at her in her underwear. And the main guy felt another up and made very inappropriate comments. I'm not going to waste my time reading about horny men sexually harassing woman. Some people might say its just for comedy sake, its not meant to be taken serious blah blah blah. I take it the people who rated this ... so high are in fact males themselves, next!
