The stuff with the parents is a little cringey, but I read this series in middle school and I decided to read it again as a 28 year old. It’s not too bad, just the stuff with the parents is a bit weird.

Un premier tome hilarant
Mots clés: manga, shojo, lycée, fiction contemporaine, romance, comédie
Sortie il y a presque trente ans, ce manga en huit tomes est vraiment drôle. Je ne connaissais pas du tout cette série et l’ai découverte par hasard alors que je regardais les mangas à vendre.
J’ai adoré ce premier tome. Au début, j’étais carrément de l’avis de Miki sur le fait que la situation de ses parents n’était pas normale mais finalement, je trouve ça super drôle et plutôt original. J’ai vraiment passé un bon moment à lire ce tome et ai eu du mal à m’arrêter de lire. De plus, j’ai aimé le fait que le titre du manga soit expliqué dans ce premier tome, c’est vraiment cool.
Je recommande aux fans de shojo.
4.5/5

My introduction to this series by Wataru Yoshizumi was with the anime, so the manga lacks the pastel moments that made the anime stand out for me. In fact, comparatively the manga art never rises above competent. Yet, the manga has its own charm found in the strong character of Miki.
In this volume we learn Miki's parents met another couple on vacation and decided to swap partners. This is shocking enough until Miki learns the other couple has a teenage boy named Yuu and that both couples have decided to live together while their divorces settle so that the children can be with their parents. It's complicated.
To make it even more complicated, of course Miki and Yuu begin to fall in love.
What I find amazing about this story is that Yoshizumi makes it all seem so happy and normal. Perhaps this is because we never saw Miki's parents act as a romantic couple so we buy the new pairing, but I feel it is mostly because Miki's character is so strong. Headstrong, in fact. Prone to outbursts. Outspoken. And passionate. However, she is very grounded. Although this allows her to play the straight character to her parents' twisted ones, it also makes her feelings—those of a normal teenage girl—set the tone for the series.
A shoujo manga wouldn't be complete without other suitors or Miki and Yuu, but Miki is the character that sets the pace in this first, excellent volume.

What the heck is wrong with their parents!?!??!
Otherwise the author makes it difficult for me to judge anyone except for them.

This was entertaining to me as a teen, though the relationship problems get really old really fast.

Okay, it was all very awkward at the beginning but I will push through a bit more.

Me encanta el conflicto con la situación familiar(hey,pensemos que esto se escribió/dibujo(?) a principios de los 90 y es muy vanguardista,la verdad) y como Miki lo afrenta.
