Synopsis by princessmeyrin023

One of my shoujo manga favorites and one of the mangas that I wish were made into anime. I read this series a long long time ago and remember wanting to read it again when I have free time. I really love the plot and the characters. I also liked the twist about the Tougu family and Haine's family. This manga revolves around bitter and sweet love stories, hidden pasts and mysteries. Recommended to those who want to read some dramatic romance.

This is definitely one of my favorite manga series. I can't help but love Tanemura's art-even if the eyes are huge-and Haine has got to be one of the most amusing leads I've seen, as a tough yankee who's also a huge dork. Plus the love interest turned out be lovable. <3 My biggest complaint would be that I didn't like the yaoi elements, but they weren't leads, so it didn't greatly lessen my enjoyment. Overall, this series might not be the greatest of the great, but the girl in me went bananas over it. :)

this is a great manga, but I've seen the anime and well its too "below" of my expectations . the manga style is much more better ..
and may I said about this, Arina's shoujo is beyond compare. It's sweet, cool, complicated and have a very deep thoughts .
if you love a little bit complicated plot in shoujo manga, go for her works . its very recommended :)

The story is quite confusing, at first. But if you dig in and continue reading (and finish the series), then you'll see that the story is really well planned. I like the twin concept and the story is quite unusual. It's great, but sometimes I get confused with the characters because they look alike (for the twins and for the other girls).

As usual, Arina Tanemura makes another epic shoujo manga xD I especially love Haine, she's not your usual innocent/moe main character. I mean, man, she got double personality! I hope there's an anime version of this one, though D;
