Yukino always wanted to be the top student at her school, but then Soiichiro shows up and tops her score without even wanting to be the top student or so she thinks. She has tried too hard too be the best student just to get all of her class mates attention that she is not about to let someone come in and screw it up for her, there is only one problem she didn't expect that wile trying to get him back for besting her in exams she falls in love with him and soon loses the will to be the bast in class.

I love this manga Tsuda is very unique. The manga is drawn in both realistic and chibi form which helps discribe the emotions of the characters very well. In every manga so far there has been one short extra story that is just a quick little story that is fun to read. The last thing that is unique about this manga is the little things that Tsuda puts in her manga that talk a little about what she likes and how she feels when she wrote the manga, this makes the book cute and funny. The bottom line is that the book has a strong story line, realistic characters, a unique style and a couple of extras along the way. If you are a romance book fan I would recomend this book to you, if not you might as well pic up the first on to see what you think because it is still a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little less than what I expected., November 26, 2004

I've been waiting to get this series for a long time. But when I got it, it wasn't all that I expected. But trust me, it gets better.
We are swept into the lives of the two main characters of the series, Yukino Miyazawa and Souichiro Arima, both do great in school and both are admired by their peers. In the previous book, Souichiro confessed his love to Yukino, so in the first part of this book, Yukino tries confessing her love to Souichiro. It's funny and romantic at how so many times she tries, and you'd be suprised how she finally does. In the next chapter, Yukino and Souichiro try and spend some time together with each other, but they can't because they each have some work to do {ecspecially Souicihro}. Another nice chapter that also contains some laughs. In the next chapter, another popular student at Souichiro and Yukino's school is trying to get in the way of their relationship, boy is he funny. The next chapter is a two-way communication chapter about how Souichiro and Yukino feel about each other. A very cute chapter.
The bonus manga is also cute. It reveals how Souichiro fell in love with Yukino.
This series teaches you some good life lessons. It may not be for everybody, but at least give it a try. It gets better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Settling into teen romance mode, March 15, 2003

Our heroes think about why they love each other--not a lot of action, more reflection--Arima has to be one of the prettiest boys in manga. Minor conflict as we meet Hideaki, Miyazawa's rival for maybe 10 pages(he wants Arima to help him score a bunch of girls), but then he becomes a regular feature as each lover runs into him, observe the same thing about him, commenting on it in their own way(Arima's usually involves reprimands for not studying) & leaves before the other arrives. The artist's comics of her trials making the book are cute, as are all the chibi versions.
