I don't really understand much of what happened in this manga. The ring thing was kind of a cool idea, but we definitely needed more background/context for what happened if we were meant to feel positively about these two getting together.

Realistically this may not be a 4 stars, but given that this was one of my favorite mangas when I was a kid, I can't not rate it high, even though the translation is a bit wonky and the plot's logic is flawed.

I just love it so much, ok. I made a phone theme with panels from this comic for my Sony ericson when I was 15, it is special and precious to me forever

Cute, but I think it's a bit fast paced and in some pages left me confused. Tried to read the continuation (in light novel format) but it seems I would dislike the story--with easily-fall-to-prey-naive-uke and all that jazz--so I decided to stop with just this one-shot manga.
I start to think I read more yaoi again because I'm so fed up with my thesis writing--which ironically about m/m-romance and yaoi reading. lol. I am sure a masochist.

I picked this off the library shelf out of curiosity, having not read this genre of manga before. It hit y expectations. The plot had it's romance story type contrivances at times, as well as some character interaction tropes I recognize from reading shojo manga. The ending had some nice little twists that pulled many strings of the plot together. For someone who is looking to reading like a high school age yaoi romance, I think this would fit the bill for that reader.

Kurz-Meinung:
Der Inhalt hat bis auf Gay-Romance nichts zu bieten, aber das war okay. Das Cover ist passend dazu gewählt und auch die Inhaltsangabe stimmt einen schon darauf ein. Alles ist typisch japanisch kitschig, was ich eher nicht so mag, viele Mangaliebhaber aber besonders mögen. Daher denke ich das meine Wertung hier nicht ganz so die allgemeine Meinung treffen wird. Für mich persönlich war es einfach etwas zu langatmig und vor allem zu kitschig.
Der Zeichenstil war schön, aber hier gibt es wieder das große Manko, was ich bei vielen Mangas bemängele – man kann die Charaktere kaum unterscheiden. Am schlimmsten ist es wenn die Haarfarbe bei Nah- und Fernaufnahme unterschiedlich ist und somit für Verwirrung sorgt.
Der Manga ist vor allem etwas für jüngere Mädchen oder allgemein großen Romantikfans, die auch mit Kitsch leben können.
Meine Wertung:
3,6 von 5 Sternen

Omg (friend who gave this to me, I'm so sorry <3 maybe a really younger version of myself would think differently but) this was so frustrating, nothing happened, there were no backgrounds and I kept waiting for the obvious romance to happen. A high school student who spent 2 minutes heartbroken actually said that falling in love is quick but getting over it seems to require a lifetime. Eyeroll. Everything was slow and obvious, this almost gave me a reading block.

once is a coincidence. twice is a plot. i am here today to tell you there is a book mutilator at large at the the north york central library and they must be stopped. i am calling you out villain, right here in front of god and goodreads! stop ripping pages out of manga i want to read
with regards to the book: it was okay. mostly it had me thinking about the structure of the romance novel -- how the male love interest is a figure of mystery and part of the satisfaction in the resolution is meant to come from our hero/ine finally figuring out what is up with tall dark and constantly brooding. i actually think this works way better in a high school love story like this one because i am perfectly willing to believe in teenagers as dramatic and secretive. oh god, i like this person! thought the fifteen year old. they can never know
sounds legit to me
3 stars
