I've read the first 3 volumes of KD but can't get to like it. The art is pretty realistic and somewhat varied, but what fails the most to me is that I cannot see the chemistry between the loving characters.

The Fuma/Assa relationship looks weak at best. I can clearly see Haruna's love for Yoh, but the opposite is just not there. The few scenes of Yoh staring at Haruna and/or blushing doesn't sell it.

I personally love Shounen/Seinen/Shoujo romance in manga form(I prefer to see action animated...), but this one doesn't sell it for me. As an example of comparison Skip Beat (the two volumes I've read so far) has no defined love relation (yet), but the chemistry is oozing out compared to Koukou.

I'm in the process of reading (or have read) most/all of the romance manga rated above 8 on Baka-Update(manga), but if you have other favourites that I could look into (currently in a glut of content), I would appreciate it
