There is so much to say about how amazing volume one of this manga was. The art was fantastic, for starters, and the wordbubbles was easy to understand and flowed well. I loved the characters and the plot! It built and headed in a direction I didn’t think it would. Going on ahead, I would like to see Yua’s relationship with Sensei developed more, however. Other than that, I think the characters have a powerful connection and one wrong move will lead to a deadly chain reaction (as with cliffhanger). When the cliffhanger at the very end came and I was completely blown away and wanted more. I wish I could buy the next volume to find out what happens.

Kinda inappropriate to buy for a school library but I'm sure shojo manga fans will find it.. Love the cover. The colours and illustrations are gorgeous.

The art is very competent but the premise of this manga is so weird that I can't get into it at all. A high school girl is dating her (very young-looking) teacher, and after her last surviving family member dies he abruptly proposes marriage... but doesn't manage to tell her until after the wedding that he lives with his son from his previous marriage, who is her age and sits next to her in class. The prerequisite love triangle ensues. Unless you're actually looking for the teacher-student thing, just read Marmalade Boy instead.
