Every few months i just come back and re-read this story, again and again and again. I love it so much, one of my all time favourites.
yup. it's in my top 25 list. as much as I like the conclusion, I always wish Mizutani-san would revisit these characters and maybe draw/write one more extra to see how their relationship has progressed. However, parts of the character's traits pop up in "Like a Cinderella" and I wouldn't be surprised if "14-sai no Koi" have minor characters that act similar to the Imari-san's.
Still, it is a good story and I always feel warm and fuzzy after reading it. :-)
