Product Description

Kajitsu has never known a proper family. Her dad's a deadbeat and her mom changes husbands like most people change socks. Kaijitsu isn't alone in her dysfunction - Taro and Natsu, the hottie stepbrothers she hasn't seen in seven years, are also refugees from negligent parents. Abandoned by everyone but each other, the three not-quite-siblings make one last attempt at building a family. It's hard enough getting along in a home with rampant hormones and no adults, but when an unexpected bundle of joy is dropped in their laps, can they learn to be parents, too? From brand-new publisher Go! Comi, an imprint of Go! Media Entertainment.

Hot for Teacher Part 15
15 year old Kajitsu's adopted grandmother has just passed away. Her adopted mother keeps flitted around from man to man, leaving Kajitsu up to her own devices. Suddenly, her adopted step-brothers have shown up at the house, both of whom she has not seen in 7 years. Taro is 20 years old and a truck driver. Natsu is a little younger than Kajitsu.

When they were younger she could confide anything to Natsu, her overweight best friend, but since their youth they had had a fight. Kajitsu, jealous of Natsu's newfound happiness when he gets adopted, writes him a nasty letter to which he never replies. Since then she has kept a journal with Natsu's name as the recipient.

Natsu has become quite the young man. He has been accepted to K high school, one of Japan's most prestigious high schools. He lived in Canada with his family for a while and lost weight during that time. He also has completely separated his bond from Kajitsu, which makes her feel such a sense of loss when he and Taro decide to live with her.

This is a series that sat on my manga shelves at work forever (I do the section there) before I finally decided to check it out. It's deep and heartwarming, and full of beautiful illustrations. But more than that the characters are real and gut wrenching and believable from Kajitsu's distrust of people to Natsu's aloofness. I will read this series and I will handsell the hell out of it. It's so good.

Great start 4
if you didn't read the summary alrady, this is a family oriantated manga base on romantic love between stepsiblings. The art work is kind of different from other shojo mangas.compare to other shojo such as Hana Kimi or W juliet, the artwork is done in a very clean way. there isn't a lot going on in the back ground, which means that it could be both refreshing and boring. Mizuki sensei did a great job on black and white contrast on the artwork but did not draw a lot of flower which is odd for shojo.
the plot is is good. i like the characters. the stroy is narrated in a poetic way by Kajitsu, the female main character. This girl is differnt than your average shojo manga.. because she is moody, unhappy, negative and lonely( in the beginning) while in other manga, the female main character is usually cheerful and innocent.
This manga starts off rather depressing( too depressing and not that funny in the beginning so 4 stars for the 1st vol...) .. but it gets better at the end.I h ave already bought all 4 vol out of total 7 vol( i think there is only 7) . the story and the art is getting better and better.. and the story is also getting funnier too... Kajitsu is getting cuter too... So don't misss out on this great story. :D
THANK YUO MIZuKI SENSEI AND GO! TEAM FOR BRING US SUCH A GREAT MANGA
