5.0 out of 5 stars Not Watase's Regular, April 23, 2005

At first I didn't know what to think of this manga. It was one by Yu Watase, who wrote Fushigi Yugi and Ceres. I was excited that another of her manga was being released in America, but dissapointed when I read about the story. Unlike Watase's previous works, there was no magic or ancient myths involved, but it was about a girl obsessed with making friends at her new school.
Though when I finally read this manga, I was thankful that I did. The story is full of hillarious moments and memorable characters. Unlike Watase's privious stories, I could really realate to this one. It is a must for Shojo readers and Watase lovers.

Yuu Watase has ended another really good series. I promise you'll like the way this one turns out. Cause even though Tanpopo and Koki go their seperate ways. He ends up going after her. Aw so cute. This also has a couple nice little stories in the back to make up for the ending being short. The first one is the prologue to Imadoki nowadays. Back before Tanpopo went to Tokyo, and how she got poplar. The Second one is about a afraid of germs, and a friend of her family comes and helps her try to get over the fear. This was a great book, and I hope whoever buys it will like it as much as I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars the final chapter...., February 5, 2006

This review is from: Imadoki! Nowadays, Vol. 5: Poppy (Paperback)

don't get me wrong... i loved imadoki! it was such a cute series and this author rocks (ive read some ceres and all 17 (since the 18th isn't out) of fushigi yugi)...
but this last one was a little disappointment i was expecting as much excitment as the rest. Even though it did tie up some loose-ends to the story it was short like half if not even of the book. the other 1/3 was a little pre-quel. then something off the subject/series write in. didnt seem i got my money worth for it being the CONCLUSION. ya know
