Anyway, enough with the intro...

Spoiler for image:

Brief synopsis: Main girl (Honoka-look-alike) moves into Main guy (Yamato-look-alike)'s home, which is in the suburban area, because she wanted to go to the high school there. Main girl was from Tokyo originally, but because she came to this place before when she was young and really liked it, she decided to go back here for high school.

Basically the story will be about these 2 people living together (main guy doesn't really like the main girl at first), and there will be a triangle relationship with a Suzuka-look-alike (girl whom main guy likes).

Sorry, I will update with their names when english translations come out, but at this point that's the best I can do as far as the story goes.

well...i think the story is a bit like the relationship between Kawamura Futaba and Kamiyama Yuuki from SALAD DAYS...living together and the main guy doesn't like the main girl at first...

and the artwork are a bit similiar too with SALAD DAYS.

thats why i have to try this manga!

Is it just me struggling to get into this? I was hoping for a much stronger plot than what has come so far

No I'm feeling the same, the plot as a whole so far was pretty weak but once you're even just half in a series that is still enjoyable you stay to hope for more i guess

[DragoZERO]

It seems to be a slow developing plot but the characters and their interactions are great.

Spoiler for Chapter 36:

Dang that sister is a little devil. I wonder if she told Nanami that he went to Tokyo with Eba with the intent of causing trouble.

Spoiler for for chapter 36:

I got confused as well She seemed so innocent when she had the conversation with Nanami

And Eba's birthday is at the same date as the summer festival is a nice twist to the story XD

P.S the first panel of Eba looks really similar to suzuka's best friend (Miki?? forgot her name) when she ties up her hair....

[LCeh]

Spoiler:

I can't believe Haruto turned Eba down when it was her birthday wish. But I predict that he will end up ditching Nanami during the festival and then find Eba again, or at least I hope.

I do think it will be opposite. Nanami looked upset at the end of the chapter. Haruto wasn't exactly honest when he said he didn't know what happened to Eba after her trip to Tokyo in the previous chapter or two. I don't even think she knew that Haruto went with Eba to Tokyo cause he only said something came up when he didn't go on a date with her. That's why Nanami looked puzzled when Rin told her about Eba and Haruto. My guess a twice rejected Haruto will get some support from Eba in the next chapter.

Spoiler for festival:

He and Eba will inevitably spend that festival together somehow. I'd actually be surprised if Nanami got upset with him, since that's a side of her we still haven't seen.

It'd be funny if the evil sis ended up getting dragged around by Takashi again

Spoiler for Chapter 36+:

I was surprised too but his true feelings toward her aren't conscious and he did promise someone else before hand.

Spoiler for Chapter 36+:

It be great if she met him at the lake before anyone else and once they come kiss him. Oh man, that would turn some heads.

[Waven]

Nanami sure had that typical 'i knew it all along' - look on her face but as freeter mentioned before she's not someone to quarrel about the matter, i even see her at some point at the festival encouraging Haruto to see Eba, which most probably will be at the lake of course.

[oDin01]

Spoiler:

I don't really feel sorry for Haruto. He should have been honest from the start. Looks like a Eba x Haruto festival match up might come into fruition.

[DragoZERO]

I think the pairing of Haruto & Eba at the end is kind of obvious, as it is with most series of this genre.

[Mykas]

well don't put the cart before the horse. that does seem reasonable and likely but we may get a really nasty (or happy for the fan of some other girl) surprise a'la ichigo 100%.

[DragoZERO]

I didn't read/see Ichigo 100%. Perhaps I'll add it to my list since it sounds surprising. But one common thing is the girl who makes the lunches and who is otherwise perfect gets dumped for the other girl who the protagonist truly cares for. I've probably been reading/watching too many series of this genre in the past few months though.

But nothing is certain so we'll just have to sit back and enjoy the ride with this manga.

QFT. They should put a twist in this one at least

Please do the twist in next series lol,

Spoiler for for suzuka:

I've been waiting for a honoka ending in suzuka, while I understand that honoka is not eba, but can I have the ending with the long hair one this time??

However, I like Nanami more and more as chapters go...I am torn XD

[Dark Mage]

I have been rooting for Eba from the beginning and while I dont dislike Nanami, I am liking Eba's selfless character after the Tokyo trip more and more. At this point its really hard to say who Haruto will end up with as he doesn't even know that he likes Eba in a romantic way. While Nanami has a lack of confidence in herself and gets jealous too easily, wonder what happened in Nanami's past to make her so careful with opening up her heart whenshe obviously likes Haruto a lot

[Dark Mage]

I liked Haruto's attitude in this chapter the way he accepted that Nanami had a right to be angry with him. Haruto seems to be an exception from the typical wimp shonen main character. This is because so far Haruto has always been decisive, mature and responsible, perhaps his only fault is he is stubborn. Nanami's sulking kinda reminds me of Suzuka and I wonder where Rin went? Maybe she had a change of heart and went to persuade Nanami to forgive Haruto?

pls use the edit function for such cases.

atleast haruto did something to changed his way of approaching his relationship to the both of them. maybe now he can gain some ground on one of them.

[DragoZERO]

Spoiler for Chapter 36:

And he we here, stacking up the dominoes for Haruto. I didn't think Nanami would actually cancel on him because of what Rin said. But boy is she a trouble maker. I biggest part of this chapter is obviously the end when he questions himself as to why he hid the fact he went to Tokyo with Eba from Nanami.

Spoiler for Chapter 36:

I was surprised too. He took responsibility for it as well. He better not just go home - he has to go to her and explain.
