This is the best shoujo-ai *thing* I've ever seen, period. Everything in this manga is sublime, and you just need to see it for yourself to see what I'm talking about. How the story revolves around the complexity of love towards someone, how the characters in this manga are so lovable and add more to the ambience of this manga, and how there's no stereotypical r*** scenes like you would find in other shoujo-ai mangas. Oh, man, you words can't do justice for my whole experience on this manga. The anime did a superb job in enhancing the experience for anime-watchers with its directing and additional touches, but this manga still remained supreme as the predecessor. Definitely a must-read.
