Such a funny shojo manga! There are some aspects where I question why they had to include the trope/cliche but that's shojo manga for you.

mehsi's review against another edition

I saw this anime when it aired last year, I absolutely loved it, so you can imagine how happy and how much I bounced around when I heard that Kodansha would publish the manga in English!
And now it is here, and I can honestly say, the anime did a great job. The manga pretty much is the same as the anime, but it is still enjoyable and fun.
I love Mei, she is a cute character, though I think it is a shame that she gave up on friends and such, never tried it again. Though I know the feeling, girls can be very mean towards each other. If you have too much boobs they will bitch at you, if you are a bit too tame they will run over you or use you. But I am happy that she met Yamato, and that he is there for her and led her to a life with more happiness and fun.
I also love how kick-ass at times she was. Defending her new friends? Roundhouse kicking Yamato? Awesome girl. :)
Yamato, ah, Yamato. Sorry, fangirling here. I absolutely love him. He has a lot to learn about girls, but I think so far he is doing an excellent job, and he is really sweet with Mei. I love how defensive he is about his friends or people he cares about.
Then we have the romance, ah, swoon. I loved it, there is a big amount of kisses and romantic moments and I cannot wait to see how this will continue and grow. I cannot wait for the moment that Mei will speak those words: "I love you." to Yamato. :)
The art-style is at times a bit weird (stick people or chibified people), but at most times the art is gorgeous, I love the big eyes of the girls and I love how the characters are drawn.
I pre-ordered book 2 to 4 and will also continue pre-ordering and reading this manga. And I would really recommend it to everyone who needs some romance and comedy in their lives.

I remember watching the anime adaptation about six years ago, and I always wanted to know what happened next. However, after seeing how long this series was, I kept putting off reading it (18 volumes is a lot for a simple shoujo romance). But recently I've decided to just say "feck it", and just give it a read.
While reading this volume, I realized that I remember the first few chapters extremely well (the anime is the exact same). Because of that, I was pretty bored and uninterested in what was happening. This isn't a fault on the manga, but I can't help the way I feel :/
Despite that, I still liked quite a few things. For instance: the art is very pretty and appealing, especially after reading some series recently with just so-so art; the problems Mei deals with regarding friends. When I first watched anime I never really understood where she was coming from. But now I relate all too well to her plights; Yamato is actually a really nice, and sweet guy, even if he's a bit of a whore (lol), which isn't always the case in shoujo series.
Hopefully volume two will introduce some new content, and I'll enjoy it more :)

Rereading it made me realised their relationship progress way too fast, and I didn't remember Yamato being so チャラい

This is a nostalgia driven 5 star read for me for sure but I forgot why I loved it so much and it didn't disappoint me at all. There is something so sincere about the writing in this and I am so glad I picked it back up this year for a reread.

I remember reading a lot of this series when I was younger. The first volume was cute enough, though it has its cringy moments.
