Review:
Woot! 1993! Hmm, my birth year! I know what you're thinking: "It must be a pretty damn good manga!" ha ha! Well... yeah! It pretty much is one of my favourite shounain-ai/yaoi manga. The mangaka is Kodaka Kazuma, well known for some of her work, like "Kizuna" or "Sex Therapist (might write a review about it, it's steamy hehe!) and plenty of doujinshi!!
Atsushi Arisawa is a 15 year old cutie, who enrolls at Jougaouka High School, hoping to meet once again his preschool crush (now a teacher!), he's awkward, drama queen-ish at first, but as the story unfolds he becomes more mature (only natural, after 3 years!).
The manga makes you laugh, and feel happy about love and life. Nothing is taken for granded in the story, a quality that helps the readers be more and more interested and curious about it. One more thing that is fantastic about the characters and story, is the diversity! Some characters may surprise you and the plot doesn't focus only on the primary characters.
Now some flaws. As I was reading reviews of other people, I was reminded that sometimes the plot gets kind of unrealistic, then again... most manga/anime plots are really unrealistic (even slice of life ones). Also, even though the art becomes better and better, by the end its really different... maturing like our protagonist, maybe??
Opinions: Well, to be honest most people really liked the manga(of course), even though the plot has flaws. Some people got annoyed (can you believe that?)! I think, it is a pretty good manga, really nice art and interesting plot. Of course, it has flaws, but it's heart-warming and witty. Strange though, even the people that said they didn't really like some characteristics of the manga, gave it high ratings.

I definitely recommend this manga. It's funny, witty, lighthearted and despite some flaws, I believe most people will enjoy it!
