It was fine I guess? The main couple was cute, though I'm not too sure how they managed to stay together so long. They just didn't seem like the sort of couple that spoke to each other or did anything sexual so I'm curious how they managed to grow up together. I just wish the antagonists had more substance to them. They were so pointlessly evil it was just boring. I wish the author used people less as plot points and spent the space exploring their relationship.

Hated it. The guy was an asshole and the girl was wishy washy, and they never actually resolved their issues; they just kissed and pretended nothing happened. Kept reading hoping for some sort of vindication/resolution but...

This was quite interesting! Even with only 13 chapters, the story was fairly interesting, had sufficient back story, and even surprising twists!

It was a cute and sweet story, even though the eyes were waaaaaaay too big. Also, this can't be compared to Tokyo Crazy Paradise, imo. I guess in the way you can compare a Toyota to a Bugatti lol? Same concept but wildly different outcomes lol

I'll begrudgingly give this a 3/10 because it didn't make me want to stab my eyes out in anger. Buuuuut, can't say I liked it all that much. The MC was an asshole; yeah he wasn't as bad in the end, but he was so awful in the beginning her falling for him never actually made sense. And the girl was a typical heroine- honestly, nothing about her personality had me particularly wanting to cheer for her or support her, despite her being the MC. And, of course, there's the problem with this series lasting more than 20 chapters; the last 70 chapters or so (basically after they started dating) showed so little plot development I felt like I was wasting away reading it. If it weren't for my stubborn desire to finish the mangas I start, I would have dropped this SO long ago! Sadly though, it's still this author's best work. Only 1 rape scene, after all. Wait, scratch that- 2. One hand is still enough to count them all so still a record.

Hands Off!

Ended up being WAY better than I expected- the story actually got pretty interesting and the characters themselves, basically the cousin and teacher, were fairly complex. The end did kind of go off the rails a bit, though. I just got the feeling there wasn't enough setup to explain the kid/father's roles in all of this, the organization backing them, or the opposing faction. It did also kinda suck that we never got to see the MC take responsibility for his abilities, though. His cousin just sort of took it all on himself which was a bit sad.

Ugh I'm so disappointed! The setup in the last chapter was so interesting- way more interesting than the rest of the story, which was just a typical boring shoujo about a girl relentlessly chasing after a guy who used her for his own benefit. Really wish the author had condensed the first 7 chapters into 2 and used the extra 5 elaborate on the whole coup scenario.

It was cute and all but the end was quite abrupt. And, thankfully, no unnecessary drama

I didn't care for it somehow. Guess it just wasn't my type of story?

So I'm guessing they didn't lose their memories after all? But I thought the plot was fairly unique and well executed, even though the author did have that little hiccup with future Touya not remembering Maiko (unless she and Nagasei broke up quick?). But with so many separate time travel incidents, it's pretty amazing she only made 1 plot error. All in all, a solid story! I didn't feel anything from the love triangle, though; seemed thrown in just to extend the plot.
