Mveramente molto ben scritto! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
Personally I loved the first three chapters or so before she had to move elsewhere to go to school.

The romance when they got together was very one-dimensional and not a lot of interactions between them.

I thought the whole interaction with her past brother and mom was well done but everything else felt dragged.

And Atsurou only ever accepted Niina in the first place was because he found out she WAS chitose.

But they never mention it after he found out and to me it feels like he never loved niina, because it seems like when he looks at niina, all he remembers and sees is chitose's image.

That's ok, but I wish both niina and atsurou would just acknowledge this fact, otherwise they are not on the same page. Niina thinks atsurou loves Her as niina, atsurou thinks he has a second chance with chitose after all these years,

Clearly they are not on the same page here. Each of them are dating the other in their own delusion - niina thinks atsurou finally loves her (niina), atsurou finally can continue his love with chitose.

Sure he might have come to love niina alongside chitose, but nowhere in the manga had he made it clear. And niina never questions him when he first accepted her which is a red light to me.

Niina IS chitose and at the same time she is not. Since she wants to live as niina in the end and move on, I feel the mangaka should clear it up and who atsurou really loves.

If atsurou told niina that he knew she was chitose, I don't think she would mind because she loves him so much. But because she never mentioned it, doesn't it mean she wants atsurou to love her as niina then?

I never got the feeling atsurou ever loved niina before he found out she was really chitose. He even said he can never forget chitose, which is why he rejected her in the first place. And then BAM, when he realizes she was chitose only then does he run after her.

Idk why this point bothers me so much, but it does.

Love this manga and all of it's vanilla but it gets me thinking though. Obviously Niina and Chitose have different styles and aspirations, but do they have the same personality? 

To me, Niina seems to resemble Chitose quite a bit even though their appearances are quite different, yet no one seems to note this resemblance. Is it just me who feels like they're the same person, just brought up differently? T:

Idea of reincarnation has me thinking haha.

Lloré la mitad del manga. Los primeros capitulos son por lejos, de los más conmovedores, tristes y felices al mismo tiempo, aunque asumo que todo este revoltijo de emociones de parte mia es meramente por la empatía que me produce el imaginarme en su lugar, sobretodo en lo que respecta a mi relación con mi familia. Son situaciones que uno comienza a cuestionarse... "¿qué pasará con ellos si..:" y así.

 

Lo que me dejó insatisfecha del manga fue el final:

Spoiler

 

ADVERTENCIA: NO LEER EN PÚBLICO. ES MUY TRISTE.

 

De todas formas me gustó mucho el manga, un millón de gracias por traducirlo! ;;^;;

Troppo dolce.... mi è piaciuto un sacco. . . Grazienda infinite per averlo tradotto
Just went back and reread this. Holy fudge they are so cute~~ Adorable to the point of AAHHHHHHHHHH Really lovely story. ; v ;

A real sweet and comfy series. Great bedtime shoujo story to read!

I just read this for the first time, and was amazed at how great it was.  The characters were all believable and interesting, and the plot was extremely well done.  The art was also excellent.  Even the tsundere guy was that way, without making me want to hit him every time he showed up.  If you like "Love so Life," this earlier manga is a must read.  

simplemente hermosa historia! ♥

Es una de esas bellas historias que te dan una lección de vida... 

Finally finished this series.

I looked up my follow list and see that chapter 19 was [end].

After reading this, I can proudly say that I LOVED the ending and it made me so HAPPY!

Spoiler

This pictures really made me happy!! <3

It might be late, but as they say.. It's better late than never!

Thank you so much, Shoujo Crusade for finishing this wonderful series!

 

Spoiler

P.S.

Talk about picture-perfect!
This series would be in my heart, forever!

Me ha hecho llorar mucho, el tener los recuerdos de su vida pasada y no poder decirlo abiertamente a los seres queridos de su antigua vida si que ha de ser duro y luego liberarse de eso y dar comienzo nuevo a su vida wuaaaaa admiro a Nina por saber controlar muy bien sus emociones

Man, i read this all in one go... 
So glad i managed to find this on the day of its last chapter.
Im tearing up :')
Thanks for all the scanlations Shoujo Crusade!!!!

I'm really glad that I was able to read this beautiful manga. This really gives me hope that the world we live in is a wonderful place.

I kinda felt bad for Kanata... he just got left hangin' there, with a couple of panels in the last chapter.
"I'm not going to give up"
Well, too bad. You're not showing up again until the wedding chapter.

But even if the ending was a little rushed, and a few threads were kind of sloppily tied up, it's still a sweet story.

All hail vanilla. Niina was cute.

Goodbye...sweet, sweet vanilla...I will miss you

At the very end, I had this horrible, horrible thought that Niina/Chitose was going to be reborn AGAIN.

 

"Holy shit, she's Wandering Emanon!"

 

Sometimes I feel like I need to stop reading manga before it all starts to blur. -_-

Well she did say that she is no longer Chitose and wants to be with Atsurou as herself so I'd say... No

 

 

If the translations are accurate, i can say that he already knows, but at this point, that fact isn't important to him.  What's he wants her to know that he loves her unconditionally and not because she was Chitose.

Sweet Vanilla ending, I like it. :)   T.T

Aaawwww . . . Sniffle!!!  Such a sweet couple!

Thanks Shoujo Crusade! 

Is she ever going to reveal that she used to be Chitose ?

Well she did say that she is no longer Chitose and wants to be with Atsurou as herself so I'd say... No
