Very cute volume!!

Deeply enjoyed each chapter and thought the opening one was very good! It's so much fun seeing all the brothers grow close to Sakura, but also to each other as well. I think I forget that they all didn't live together for quite some time too.

I think my favorite chapter was the one involving the play. RIP Suzuki! LOL! (Also, I do agree with the mangaka that he is good husband material. LOL!) The festival was another good one as well! (I think that one was the funniest due to the teaming up and who had to team up with who. So so so funny!)

We got Tsuyoshi's backstory and ahhh my heart!! He needs hugs even if he wouldn't like it! LOL!

Overall, this has been my favorite volume yet!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I'm the first review?
Well, y'know, the first review that . . . actually REVIEWED this book.

Anyway, here it goes!

Ahem...4 STARS FOR THIS STORY!! (Well, 3.5. That rounds up to 4, doesn't it?)

It's a lot like Ouran High School Host Club. Well, not everything. There are some very different things, like--

1. No, the characters aren't super rich.
2. There isn't a host club.
3. The girl character is NOT pretending to be a guy character.

Buuuut...the girl is surrounded by a bunch of guys (brothers). And the oldest guy, Masashi, reminds me so much of Tamaki that it's probably criminal.

Anyway, I know I should start on volume one . . . but alas, I forgot what happened in volume one. I feel . . . that I shall review volume one after I reread it and refresh my memory! But for now, it's volume 3.


THIS STORY IS REALLY CUTE. Such a cute story...These guys are out to protect the little sister. Dude, I wish I had older brothers but I'm stuck with a little one instead.

So anyway, this book isn't bad. This series isn't bad. It's actually pretty funny and it's not a serious manga at all.

In this volume, it's the one where Sakura is at the summer festival and she gets thrown back into time somehow and she meets Masashi as a 14-year-old.
I LOVE THAT STORY! Even though it's so interesting how she doesn't seem freaked out how she was thrown back in time like that.


This manga isn't the sort of manga that gives me the feeling of "OH MY GOD, I NEEEEEED to find out what happens in the future! I NEED TO READ THE NEXT BOOK NOW!!!!!" It's just that adorable read that keeps my time spent, y'know?

It is cute, though. I don't hate it. ^_^

I don't know what one came first, but I'm getting a strong Fruits Basket vibe off this series. Especially from Tsuyoshi who acts and kinda looks like Kyo And Masahi is clearly the Shigure of the group. I also enjoyed the Saiyuki tribute.

Even better than the first two! Of course a manga wouldn't be complete without the "haunted house", but I'll forgive the cliche.

I wish Takashi would speak more in the stories, but I also appreciate his sublte actions and quiet personality.
