I was eagerly buying these up back in the day, as they were being released. Nostalgia! I miss the thrill of walking into the bookstore to see what was new, leaving with an armful of manga. Nothing since has ever quite been like that feeling. But I can't give it the full five stars, just because it always bothered me that she had to change writers, and the story obviously took a completely different turn than what had been planned. I feel like it was supposed to be way more shounen ai, too, but the new writer took it in a more lighthearted direction. It's a shame, but I still have all of the volumes from those years ago, and it is something I look back on fondly.
I think I'll drop this. Quite hard to read :/
