All-around wonderful manga. The drama part of it was handled so well, seeing their relationship grow slowly and not have it happen in the course of one chapter, the secondary characters were all well-rounded, many things I thought it would end up being the same cliché as everything else and it wasn't so... And boy, I knew there would be shit happening but still, the story had me so involved that I couldn't help but get all teary eyed in those last few chapters. And nothing more refreshing after such a tear-jerker ending than those absolutely adorable shorts about everyone's lives. Great story, great art, definitely recommended, and I'm sure it's gonna be added in my to-reread list.

Absolutely adorable. It started out a bit too slow and episodic, but eventually the writer seemed to find the right pace. Definitely one I plan on rereading at some point.

I understand things ended up being that way, I just wish it had been differently :/

I read it a long time ago, it's definitely due for a re-read but I'm saving it for a time that I want to have my heart broken into a million pieces :S

I love this manhua, it's one I seem to keep re-reading every few years. I really love the characters, it's a funny story. It does have its flaws, I think Angus/Long's character is the one with the most mess-ups in the end; there should have been a better way to show all that went through that didn't feel as much of a cop-out. I still enjoy reading the story though, everyone's so charismatic it's a fun read (:

After 10 years of chasing after her, Mr. Perfect's finally acknowledges his feelings. All he has to do is to get Ms. Dense to notice him. Great love story, I love that it didn't just jump into things but you could really empathise with the struggles of one-sided love. Kind of wish there had been no time skip, but it was still quite fulfilling to see them get married (:

Katakoi Triangle

Complete | amano shinobu | 2009 released

Adolescence means getting to know yourself and learning about feelings you might not quite fully understand. Things will get a bit messy, maybe people you thought were close to you end up being less important than you originally thought. You might even meet completely new people, who just turn your conceptions upside down. Just gotta hold on to your core, be honest, and accepting.

The Baker on the First Floor

The story of a young artist with a troubled past, the baker with also a troubled past, and all the people who were part of their lives. I started reading this with not very high expectations, but in the end it turned out to be quite adorable, despite the dark undertones.
