it's the latest work by arina tanemura.

the story is about...
Otomiya Haine, a cheerful daughter of a failing furniture business, is attending the Imperial Academy, where she falls in love with an old crush. Her crush, Touguu Shizumasa, is from one of the most prestigious families around, and Haine would do anything to be near him. One day, under strange circumstances, she's given the opportunity to help him. What strange events will plague them now?

eh... the intro may sound cheesy. it's like the combination of hana yori dango & some crappy shuojo love storyline. sweatingbullets.gif but i think the story will get much better later. that's what i heard from people having read the 2nd vol. i only have the 1st vol now... so i cant say how it gets better. biggrin.gif

it's done by arina tanemura anyway. her works have never disappointed me so far. like FMWS, it sounds boring to me at 1st... but becomes one of my fav manga/anime later. laugh.gif

oh, the 3rd vol just came out in japan in dec.

I love her art, but all of her stories are just... eeh. I mean, the plot gets so confusing and sometimes I'm just not attracted to the story anymore, only the art. :T

I don't get the whole two Shizumasa thing though...

I love this manga ^^ I follow all of Arina Tanemura's stuff--she's actually my favorite mangaka. And this one, I already love. smile.gif She's got such a plotting mind...I love her plots. They're complicated and stuff but...in the end, the story pieces fit together perfectly like a puzzle.

She reminds me of guiyeoni ~

I stopped reading this manga after the second volume since I became bored and confused- like with Full Moon wo Sagashite. Her artwork is gorgeous- but the storylines are just...ehh. :T

i really really like this manga wub.gif in the first few chapters, the story didn't seem like it was going anywhere, after the first volume, it gets very interesting! and the art is very easy on the eyes
