I had put reading this off because the art didn't appeal that much to me but I've run out of other mangas to read. I really wanted to like this so much but I couldn't. There were so many good reviews and people saying it's awesome but sawako irritated the heck out of me. I mean she wasn't all horrible, she had her moments where I was all wow good for you sawako. Kazehaya was a gem of a male lead though(none of that being a jerk) and it was sweet how it was male lead falling in love first; seriously, I loved his blushing face and he was one of the few reasons I was able to push through reading. Sawako's friends were awesome and gosh one of them should have been the main lead. They were spunky and quirky and ugh I'm glad they had side stories. I should have known better with this being the whole shy girl and popular guy falling in love cliche but I read somewhere that this manga was original...it would be if it was the first manga I had ever read but it's not. Sigh, I guess I'm just disappointed. The reviews made me expect too much from this manga but reading it just made all those expectations fall flat.
