I did a search and didn't find a topic for this so if there is/was one, sorry.

Anyway, I have read up to chapter 120 (since that is all that has been scanlated) I think this is an awesome manga. Anyone else reading it?

Cinocard · 2009-03-30, 18:52

Well, me too. This is definitely a top favorite manga of mine in the slice of life genres. It has such a nice and warm feeling when you read it, which makes it good. But honestly I don't know what to talk about with this series

I have been reading this one fun series I personally think that this is what Naru and Keitaro would be like if they had met later in life instead of college.

nope the main character is a salary man and the main female lead is a kindergarten teacher. it is about their ups and down in them being in a relationship.

DragoZERO · 2009-03-30, 21:11

The synopsis is pretty accurate. Nagisa is a knock out who has no experience with guys so as they flock to her she doesn't know what to do and the same goes for Masuro minus being attractive and having a flock (his kindness is what attracts the girls, which is proof that the nice guy doesn't finish last in the real world, only high school, lol).

It has a lot of funny parts and the drama is excellent. Just keep in mind this was written in the early 1990's.

It's a great manga, Yamahana's longest one and maybe his best although I haven't finished reading Imouto Akane (the longer version).

denice25 · 2009-03-31, 04:58

Its a nice manga!!!!

Waven · 2009-03-31, 06:06

I enjoyed it at first but turned extremely annoying for me for the male lead's spinelessness. He is a rather unique character, i'll give him that, and he occasionaly does things when they need to be done but his usual attitude is something i absolutely cannot relate to so i just spoiled me the end (series is already finished). Now i know that this trait makes him more realistic which is one of the reasons for it being tagged seinen but then i guess this is a bit realism too much for me. Liked the art though

Johnny · 2009-03-31, 06:47

Let's also add that he's pretty thick skinned for being able to put up with Nagisa...

Nosauz · 2009-04-03, 20:54

its really good, but some of the anitics are highly repetitive, especially in the early phase of the manga with the "other guys" and nagisa but man nearing the end the complexity of the relationships does a 180 and it really becomes a completely different beast.

Spoiler for Chapter 122:

Okay, that's what I thought. Wasn't sure since it was so long ago that I read that chapter, haha.

one of my favourite manga very like love hina with less ecchi and a lot of comedy (the battle of the 3 man over Nagisa)

To me, this doesn't compare to Love Hina. Love Hina was more of a harem comedy than anything else. This manga is more romance drama with comedy added in.

UPDATE:

Spoiler for Chapter 123:

Also, what ever happened with the food chain a while back that Fuguno worked on all alone. You know, with the CEO about his age.. shouldn't he have gotten a huge commission from that? Is his job not like that or did the author just neglect it?

DragoZERO · 2009-04-28, 07:34

Double post for a shameless bump.

Spoiler for Chapter 124:

Spectacular_Insanity · 2009-04-28, 11:10

One of my favorites too, though I am also surprised there wasn't already a topic for it.

And for Ch 124:

Spoiler for Ch. 124:

Nosauz · 2009-04-28, 18:29

i wonder if it would be ok to talk about spoilers since the manga is already finsihed but the scanlations are a ltitle behind.

DragoZERO Spoilaphobic Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: USA Age: 37	Spoiler for Chapter 122: Another great chapter. Its good to see Fuguno stepping up to the plate too. My one question, I'm hoping someone has a better memory than me, is what was the deal with Nagisa in the beginning? Was Fuguno supposed to meet with her the night he got locked in? __________________ • Anime List \| Manga List \| Manga Thread Template •

I really hope Misaki doesn't start making moves on Fuguno. I don't mind Misaki liking Fuguno but that obstacle has already been used, twice, so yeah. __________________ • Anime List \| Manga List \| Manga Thread Template •

Spectacular_Insanity Ha ha ha ha ha... Graphic Designer Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Right behind you. Age: 35	One of my favorites too, though I am also surprised there wasn't already a topic for it. And for Ch 124: Spoiler for Ch. 124: I thought the ending fit well for that little arc. But... You never know, DragoZERO. Maybe not right now, but it still may become and issue later on. __________________
