God. Did that manga made me cry. Been a long, long while since a manga got me this emotional. From the get-to, it is an entertaining Shoujo series with a great cast of characters with loads of compelling, engrossing backstories from the back to supporting cast. The tone of the manga balances out very well between comedy, drama and romance. What really sealed the deal for me was the Arima arc where I kept wanting to read chapter to chapter in one sitting, and man, it was certainly a heart wrenching, emotional roller coaster. I kind of wish a few of the characters have more panel timeand moments, but well, it can’t be helped with a larger cast. Fantastic read all around.
