Overall it was a really good manga, I appreciate the transparency of a lot of the characters and the art style was really cute. The representation of loss and depression were okay but I felt could have been a bit better as well as the silly misunderstandings. Then again silly misunderstandings happen in real life too but it felt like it didn't make sense for the characters. I think it's definitely a good experience for anyone who wants to read a Shoujo as it ticks all the boxes

4 stars for the series as a whole. It had some great moments that set this Shoujo apart. The theme of losing a parent at a young age and the emphasis on friendship. The supporting characters got their time in the spotlight. The intricacies of relationships, uncertainty, the feeling you've missed your chance, or even chances in life made this story more relatable than others.

'He will always be my favorite.'

This is my comfort read and after all these years since I first watched the anime, it still hasn't changed. I love everything about it since page 1.

This was basically a wrap-up and was shorter than I expected it to be (the last quarter of the book was a Strobe Edge short story) but overall I’m very glad I read this series - it was cute, fluffy but also frustrating at times and I’m happy with the end result! :)

Honestly, I'm so glad I decided to read this series. It has such heartfelt and realistic characters that I can't help but root for ALL of them!! <3

I'm finally finished with this series. Only giving this a three star because of Kominato and Murao. Other than that, it was an okay ending. I wish we got to see more of Yuri. She was kinda forgotten about which sucks because she's my 2nd favorite character.

All in All, this series had potential but the love square/love triangle ruined it for me.
