La verdad es que estoy decepcionada porque el manga no me llenó como yo esperaba. El romance final no me emocionó y no me gustó que hubo mucho drama con Shishio-sensei, eso llevó a que no viviera muco el romance entre Suzume y Mamura.
Me gustan los personajes, pero el desarrollo de la historia fue la que no ayudó.

Honestly, I think this manga is one of the best shoujo-mangas ever written!
I read it a long time ago, but still one of my favourites. I love the way it´s drawn and I really love the story. When I read it for the first I couldn´t stop. The story is cute but it never gets boring. The end was really surprising for me and gets me everytime.
I think it´s the first manga where the real life movie is really good, whoever reads the manga should watch it.
5 out of 5! And i don´t regret it!

I enjoyed this series so much. Even though I hated the teacher-student aspect of the series, I think this is a very solid shojo series. The characters are likable, the romance is sweet, and the artwork is beautiful. Suzume was amazing and I love her and Mamura together but my favorite character was Yuyuka. I'm so happy that the author didn't make her into the typical jealous rival lead.

Probably the best, most desirable end to a shoujo manga. I finished this manga in a day - and I loved it.
In the middle I was really REALLY frustrated (because I was rooting for Murama (I don't like his first name much lmao xD) from the beginning), because Suzume was constantly head-over-heels for Satsuki. I didn't hate Satsuki until he showed hostility to Murama. I really liked Yuyuka's character development, and Inukai's extra chapter was so cute!!

What I really enjoyed was the character development in the last few volumes after Suzume is trying to get past Satsuki. I was annoyed at Tsubomi for trying to push Satsuki on. When Satsuki confronted Yuchiki-san I thought that Yuchiki threw the sake bottle at Satsuki!!
Anyway, Suzume proved to be a good protagonist (although in the middle I was face palming 99% of the time at her decisions). I originally thought that Murama's reason for being hostile and embarrassed around girls was something extreme - like rape or abuse or something - but it was minor (which was a WEE bit of a let down for me - because it would have shown MASSIVE amounts of character development if he had been abused, and chose to open up to Suzume about it... But I don't really care about that at the end of it all).

OVERALL: Definitely worth reading - even all the agonizingly annoying parts. It makes the end that much more satisfying and WORTH IT!!!

I'm so happy I read this - and EVER HAPPIER THAT FOR ONCE, MY SHIP IS THE ONE THAT SAILED!!! Bless you Yamamori-san!

This volume was such a good conclusion to the series. In this volume Suzume, Mamura, along with a few friends head to Okinawa for a few days for summer vacation. Suzume confronts her feelings for both Mamura and Mr. Shishio. I'm very happy with her choice.

I see you Mamura, I see you; irog irog. It's crazy realistic how everyone is keeping secrets in a nonchalant way. Hahaha, yes Yukichi, talk to that wall! This is a teacher-student relationship done morally right. You're good Mamura, very good. Togyu pulled a fast one; he must like to live life on the edge. A wonderful, fufilling ending.

It's so satisfying to finish a series that even though this finale felt a tad rushed I'm not mad at it.
