When I read this in German, I gave this manga three stars. Now that I've read it all and the Light Novels I can't give it less than five because I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES I CAN'T. I STOPPED CANNING LIKE FIVE DAYS AGO I THINK. *coughs*
No but seriously, while this is takes some effort to get into - like it takes time getting to know people like for example Kayashima - once you make it past volume two it gets really wonderful and once you KNOW Kayashima reading it again it's wonderful from the first page because Kayashima is a wonderful character and I love him full stop. HIS POUTING FACE.
I'd say sorry for this poor excuse for a review, but I'm actually not. It's one of the loveliest series I've read in a while and I am SO SMITTEN WITH IT. I love all the characters, from Kayashima to the gardener to KOIZUMI OMG to Hatano and SEIJI (guess who ordered his LN) and Kazuko and Mikimoto and everyone okay?
Sigh.
