I found this manga completely by accident when one of the scanlation team's used it as their recruitment page, and am so glad I did.When I first read it I was glued, and even now when it's satisfying to re-read it even though I know what's going to happen. The reasons behind the character's actions and their behaviour, when revealed makes so much sense and explains everything you wondered about... 3w554j

I have to it, I started to read this before I had watched the anime and was totally overwhelmed by the artwork. I couldn't work out what was going on in each so the story was wasted on me. After watching the anime, I re-read this (as I found scans online again) and found it was much easier to follow.
Personally, I felt that it was almost, if not as, good as the anime. There were things...

The start was good. The ending was good. The stuff inbetween was awesome. An amazing manga.
It kept me interested and staying up at night right until the end, the plot was well developed, the main characters easily definable by their different appearances (albeit some of the opposing team's seemed to blur into one slightly). Some people may complain about it being unrealistic, to which I...

I do re-read this, but only the first couple of chapters, occasionally the whole thing. The story is good and gripping the first time you read it 🙂 Not a perfect 10 because it lacks that sparkle that a perfect manga has. The artwork is good though, and the storyline is unique.

The mangaka of this story should be congratulated for being one of the few author's who realise that shoujo does not need weak and hysterical, or high-minded and violent, girls as the protagonist to make a story interesting. The main character is likeable, and the annoying traits so often seen in shoujo characters are missing.
The author managed to pack so much into this manga that normally takes...

This is a manga I often come back to. It has parts that I just can't forget and love to re-read. I never felt like it was dragging, even though, essentially, the same scenario repeated itself.
If this had been a shounen, Kiri would have been your typical strong heroine hiding her powers, but it's a shoujo so it works well. I personally love all of the characters; there are no really evil...

These are, in my opinion, by far the best collection of oneshots I have read within their genre and sub-genre. With the exception of the second story which I did not like as much, the stories were amazing. They are not all based on romance, in fact, only one of them is a pure romance, the others include other themes and have a definate message that set them apart from your typical shoujo oneshot...

8

Although many don't like the art, or, rather, don't think much of it in the beginning, compared to some mangas, it wasn't too bad. It does get better as you read on, and I must say that the ling/framing of the manga is a strong point. The number of frames on a page was often only three or four but the story still moved at a good pace.
The heroine was strong, she fought for her students and...

Unlike other Chinese webnovels which I've read, this story uses the three books into which is it broken like traditional print media. That is to say, that each book reads more like a book in a trilogy (most similar, I would say, to The Inheritance series). It is far removed from the likes of Desolate Era, say, where each book functions almost like a chapter. I've written a blurb(?) for books two...

I didn't comment on this series for quite a while after I read it. I didn't really know what I could say.
This is one of those mangas that if you re-read you have to start from the beginning and work your way through to the end. It introduces you to a host of characters (but even so it doesn't get confusing) that all have different roles and are all important to the plot. Not knowing who they are...

Read it. It's comedy at it's very best in the unexpected, seemingly random way.
One of the things I liked about this manga was that, although Jaguar often (ok, always) acts...in a rather wierd manner, he is actually skilled with a recorder.
Anyway, read it, if you don't, you won't know what you've missed

I do it that the first chapter - which sets the premise for the whole story - is a little...unrealistic? Apart from the low probablity that the very guy she kisses and falls in love with is her uncle, to fall in love after just one kiss without knowing each other seems a little shallow. However, that being said, I do believe the mangaka did that to prevent the story dragging on. It's refreshing...

7

I could complain and say that I wanted this to be longer, but that would really be a waste of my time, because if it had been longer it wouldn't have been quite so special and sweet. In fact, it shortness is a strength. There is no time in a two chapter manga for angst and tantrums. Instead there is heartache, and emotions build into a story that is long enough to convey them properly.

7

There is so much on each page! This is one of the first things I noticed while reading the manga. For each twenty-four page chapter, a more "normal" mangaka would need to use at least two, maybe three, chapters to get across what this mangaka does in a chapter. Several times I had to check that I was still reading the same chapter - was this really all in 24 pages?
I didn't really find this series...

I like this manga. I liked that the main lead stayed indifferent throughout the whole manga. He didn't have a sudden revolution and change into an idealisitc, empathatic protagonist, he stayed as he was. I liked how the female lead stayed understated; she acted like a mature woman and there was no drama between her and the male lead, so the focus was kept on the cases.
One of the problems, for me,...

7

This is...an odd combination of romance, drama and comedy. That's not to say it's bad, just...odd. It's almost like a normal shoujo, with characters in their teens, is being acted out by children in a child-friendly plot. There's no teenage angst, and the children being children circumscribes the regular "shoujo issues". I would say the children act unrealistically - they act older than their...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It had a very mellow tone, and the characters were well developed and individual. The main character had good character growth even though the manga was only three chapters long. There was nothing melodramatic about it, and it had a good message. I only wish for the performance at the end, the girl had let her hair out of its braids.

The art was good, the storylines were good and the development of the characters was good. The shortness of the series meant that the plot didn't drag like some longer mangas. Overall a good read that I would recommend.

7

I have read my fair share of shoujo manga, and this...this was something different. Not once was there a time when I thought "cliched!" because all of the cliches were done in such a way as to make them natural; the love traingle were not thrust upon the reader to make the story longer, nor was the first love blown out of proportion. The characters didn't fall in love in a second, and the main...

To be honest, the main lead reminded me a bit of Kyoko from Skip Beat. Not because she was at all similar to Kyoko, but because they both have totally unique personalities (within the shoujo genre, and probably within manga in general).
This is a manga which focuses around the original idea: an observer of the class. Although the episodic nature of the series meant it did feel disted, it was...

I found this an interesting story to read. A small part of me wanted the magic to be real and for R to show them all that he was a real magician, but that's not really what this story's about. Likewise the perceived romance that could have happened between R and Ah-ee. It was never going to happen, to my mind, and therefore I didn't expect nor want them to get together.
The art was quite something...

I read the description (but not any of the comments) and was expecting it to be like Faster than a Kiss; similarly light-hearted, airy, and taking an extra-ordinary long time for the main characters to get together. Having read it, if I was forced to pick another manga it was like, I'd probably say the darker parts of Mars were akin to it.
To be honest, I didn't really understand this manga. F...

6

Read this as comedy and you'll be laughing from the first page. The main character is ridiculously naive that it's hilarious. But it's because she's so that she can stick with the male lead and they continue as boyfriend and girlfriend. On his part, he's devoted to her, and isn't really mean at all, which is refreshing to read.

My advice? Read the first two chapters, and if you hate it, stop there...

6

This is one of those rare mangas that achieves what it sets out to do and then ends (although this may partly be due to the fact that this is because it's shoujo rather than shounen). No dragging plotlines, no extentions ed the sell-by date; simply a good story told and nothing more.
The characters are likeable and neither irriating or annoying. I may go so far as to say that Hime is Mary Sue...

6

I would definately not of complained if this had been longer. Having said that, this manga set out with the purpose of being short and completing just one things, and after it did that it, ended. The idea was good and I liked the characters, and the episodic though inter-linking nature of the plot suited the manga well.
A short, well-done manga which is definately worth your time but nothing to...

I liked the main characters. I liked the fact that they were grey. I liked the fact that Midori was nice. I liked the character development in the first volume. I liked the fact that it had a nice ending. I liked that the "jerk" actually, truly, realised he was a jerk and stopped being one.
I find it a fault in most mangas that the main characters are almost never conflicted in their actions...

I liked the first two more than the last, mainly because there was none of the angst and stupid actions that the third contained.
The three stories are nice, short and - although predictable - a good read. The first had the twist with the

boy having the heart condition which I didn't see coming, which added a little extra. The second had a good message and was the one I enjoyed the most. The...

I agree that it was too short, however, if it had been continued it would have been so easy for it to have veered off and gotten lost in the forest of bad plots. It didn't cover some of the more philosophical ideas - how memories shape your personality ect. - deeply, but that's forgiven in something this short.
The plot premise was interesting, but mostly it was the execution that I think helped...

I'm kind of surprised at the bad/mixed reviews this manga got. I mean Matsuri actually does something. Sure, she never develops her power, or actively seeks out ways to help Mimori, so she never grows as a priestess, but this manga is not really about that. I thought Mimori's character growth was good and Matsuri was a good female lead. Her naivety was tempered by a more down-to-earth aspect to...

6

Her works are always a pleasure to read. Sure enough, the good guys always win, and the battle is always a clear-cut good and against evil, but they're nice stories to read. Her female protagonists are a break from the annoying heroines that are rife in the shoujo genre, and this is no exception. I would have liked to see Suzu develop and learn more techniques rather than relying on Ojaru-sama but...

I would've liked an extra chapter at the end. One that rounded everything off, that told you a bit about all the characters' lives after the war had ended and what they were doing. Most of all I would've liked to see more of Ley and Lucien after they got together.
Ley at the beginning is tough; she's cold, cool and know's what she's doing. She's ruthless and doesn't help others if that would harm...

It's been so long since I read first 80 chapters I can't really ed what happened in them, so this might not be a completely fair review.
I liked this series. Towards the end, the main couple were sidelined more and more as the side characters got their own plots, mainly to do with them pairing up. This was fine for a while, but I would really have preferred to have the main couple...

I can't really say a lot about this. It's short, non-cliched and cute. Personally I didn't find it an unputadownable manga, but I enjoyed it all the same. The plot suited the length, it was easy to follow; overall a good read and I liked the main characters! 🙂

First story:
I didn't like it. I don't like manga with this type of plot. It wouldn't have been so bad if the female lead hadn't gone down the "I'm not going to let myself be seduced again by y, I'm going be remain faithful to x"...only to jump into bed with y as soon as he appears. She might as well not even bother thinking stuff like that.
3/10

Second story:
I liked this one. There's no romance...

Everytime I read something like this, be it a manga or a book, I am always tempted to (and in most cases do) read the ending. I didn't with this, but after having completed the whole thing I can say this: skipping to the ending would not have helped me at all. This, I think, is a good thing. It means there is more to the story than can be shown in just a chapter at the end.
I wasn't expecting much...

If you don't like the tragedy genre, and its putting you off reading this, don't let it.
The pacing in this is good. It means that the plot which contains little real substance can blossom and becoming an entertaining story. The basic premise has been done before, however, the female protagonist, while not being tough, is not a cry baby and is believable. Most of the other characters lack any real...

5

What can I say about this manga? Well, I wanted more. Two volumes felt so short; there was definately potential for it to be a longer series. Several characters were introduced near the end and it seemed like the mangaka had plans for it to be longer but it got axed. Personally I felt it was quite an unusal idea - I've never read anything where a girl can talk to stuffed animals/dolls before.
I...

I agree that there is a problem not being able to discern which language characters are speaking in. The scanslators did use a code, but I was frequently confused and tempted to conclude that half the time they forgot they were using different fonts. Either way, a lot came down to the context in which the characters were speaking.
About the actual story itself? This is one of those mangas that (I...

5

I actually quite liked the first story. Sure the heroine was everything I hate in a shoujo girl, but at least she thought things like "how do I know if he's a con artist" instead of just blindly stumbling on without giving it the least bit of consideration. And the ending was particularly nice, it had a little twist that I hadn't expected.
The second story was nice. I liked it but it was still...

Yup, this one isn't smut.
It was a decent read, average, but with an interesting subject. It's not often that you find younger males/older females relationships where the boy is young (ie. 16) and the girl is quite a bit older (in this case the age gap was six years). For whatever reason it was nice to see a female lead who dumped her boyfriend so she could keep her job. I think I would have...

They're a nice series of one shots, which I find leave you wanting more. It's not that the story itself is unfinished, just that it'd be nice to have, say, another chapter with the characters. Personally I didn't find the storytelling and execution to be difficult to follow, and the art is definitely not the worst - I kind of like it.

5

I generally like mangas like this, and for the first 50 chapters or so, I did like it. But after that it seemed to drag on, and I began to wish this series would end quickly. The romance became tiresome and I wanted the characters to just get together.

5

One word springs to mind when reading this: cliche. This manga is packed full of them. Every shoujo cliche you can think of - afraid of thunder, alone in the house, cutting fingers while cooking, typhoons hitting, male lead being a genius, childhood friends and promises, even amnesia (?!) - is, in some way, included in this manga.
The mangaka runs out of ideas around chapter six/seven (partly due...

5

The chapters in this were very long, so it felt like I had read six chapters, not three by the end. The idea behind this was quite unique and the main lead was endearing in the fact that she managed to achieve her dream. I can't help feeling that she knew too little about the job though. She managed to the interview and get a part-time job at Heaven so it would be reasonable to expect that...

I guess you could say this is a more hard-hitting version of all those other teacher-student relationships. It deals with what happens afterwards and focuses more on the problems involved with a teacher-student relationship than with the romance and love behind it. Personally it made me feel quite uncomfortable because I quite like teacher-student mangas, and this looks at it from a whole differen...

5
---

The one thing that I really liked about this was the fact it was her childhood friend. It is impossible to fall in love with someone you've never met before in a week, so that it was her childhood friend made this more realistic. That's about all I can say about this really. It was nice and cute, but average. A good read and because its short it can be completed quickly ^^

Having read "Say I Love You", another one of her works, it was interesting to read this! The glasses dude from the first story was the same as the glasses dude in the first chapter of Say I Love You, and the elder brother in "End of Summer" had a hairstyle reminiscent of Yamamoto's in Say I Love You. The name Yamamoto was the same too!
Personally speaking, I think all of these stories are good...

I liked it. It was short so it wasn't drawn out and there wasn't any shoujo miracles that meant Nao didn't transfer.

I'm a skeptic though, so I found the whole scenario of their love continuing for a year without any closure either way a bit too much; this is shoujo though.

5

It's a nice story, and maybe its just from reading it a chapter a week as the releases come out, but the ending seemed rushed to me.
The story is a nice one about the goodness in people, and the art is nice.

5

I found this manga very interesting from an anthropological point of view. The author uses the main character as a tool to explore the Japanese culture.
Being brought up in America made Chizu open to physical (hugging, kissing etc.), and side characters remark about her foreignness throughout the manga. Many of the things that were refreshing about Chizu - her ability to say what she feels...

I loved the parts where Rika imagined scenarios in the old 70s style of shoujo manga, it added comedy and it was nice to see the old art style being appreciated as well as made fun of (in a nice way).
Story-wise this manga manages to pack a lot into the two volumes! Childhood traumas with kangaroos, evil-class-leader turned good, gangsters being reformed, a trip abroad and a crazy heaster...

5

I liked the third story the best. Didn't read the fourth story (chapters five and six) 'cause I don't like sad stories. First one was okay, although I didn't particularly like the second chapter of it. The second story was okay.

5

I didn't have a problem with the translations?
Anyway, I felt that all the stories stopped just one page short. It could be interpreted as the mangaka letting the reader make their own story up about how it ended and letting them imagine away, but for me it left me feeling like a page had been misplaced or hadn't been attached to the scanslations. I didn't really understand the first story and it...

5

Refreshing, simple, a breath of fresh air; her works always manage to be different from the average shoujo. Having said that, while different, Sora Log is still average. I enjoyed reading it, but this one just didn't have enough to make it ed "average" to me. There was a lot of foreshadowing of a "mysterious past" that wasn't horrible or all that dangerous. It was hyped up a bit too much for...

5

Well personally I think some of these comments have been pretty harsh. Sure, Haru cleaned up for him once a week but it was her choice and she did it because she cared for him. Is that so wrong? Sure, it might have been better if she moved on, but this is kind of the manga's premise? Sagiri didn't treat her like his own personal maid (like so, so many other shoujos) and appreciated what she did...

Not good, not bad, but average. The mangaka uses the "fell in love at first sight" cliche, but I do like the second and the fourth stories.

The second, where the girl is a crybaby and knows it, is refreshing because she doesn't cry in front of other people. The last I like because, well, I like it?

Read if you haven't got anything better or like one shots. The smut is minimal and from what I...

It was easy to see what was going to happen from the beginning, but then again, that's not why you read mangas like this. The characters were likeable enough there was enough substance to call the plot a plot but, as I said, it was predictable. Overall it's not a stand out work, it wasn't as realistic as something like Sensei! but it was handled well. The part in the love guidance room in the last...

I'm sorry, but that male lead was stupid.

I mean, what was the point in chasing after his first love from, like, five years ago? The girl would have changed an enormous amount; he was basically in love with a memory. The only reason this was okay was because the girl happened to be the female lead who he knew already. Imagine if it just happened to be some random girl - "hey, want to be my...

While I was reading it, I couldn't put it down. Stepping back from it, however, I find it lacks a certain sparkle. The characters don't seem to be fully * there*. There just seems to be something lacking in their makeup. Having said that, I did find the main character's personality a nice change from the typical shoujo heroine, but it was inconsistant throughout the series.
Overall, I found this a...

hmm...5 out of 10 is my average score - it means not good and not bad, just average. But somehow, this doesn't seem to be a five, more like a four. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's just that as Caityluu said, it goes nowhere. I can sympathsise because mangas often get cut off it their not popular, but two volumes seems really short. The ending is abrupt and uncalled for and it was obvious...

Difficult to read, bad flow, confusing in parts - there was a whole section about her memories that was like "WHAM! Have your memories back!". Romance was so-so. Would not recommend.

It's alright. The main character isn't annoying, which is more than can be said for a whole host of shoujo/josei manga. I didn't particularly like the way the ending was executed, and there was a whole bunch of "I want to tell him X, but then he'll just think I'm Y" etc.

4

20 chapters is a nice length for the story. Yes, it's a typical shoujo story, but, this is the shoujo genre. The storyline and artwork all fitted and it's a nice story. Very addicting once you've started, even though it's predictable. If you're looking for an atypical shoujo with a deep storyline then this isn't for you, but overall a good read ^^

I started to read this, but for some reason stopped. It was good enough for me to it and pick it back up when I had the opportunity, but, as with many things, the second read through highlighted many of the problems with this series.

I don't know why, but for the first 3 chapters he reminded me of the medicine seller from mononoke. However, after the fourth chapter where

he proclaimed his love to yet a third girl, convinced her that she was his "one and only true love" and sent her off in style back to her own world

the connection faded and the word "playboy" came to mind. I wouldn't have minded so much if he hadn't of...

The main characters are relatively one dimensional; the main male lead's actions are never fully...

It was average. Nice and all, but very much average. It seemed to be missing a certain something that would make it really enjoyable, but that's no reason not to read it. A nice, light read if you want something quick, although this could have been done in two/three chapters rather than five.

I rather liked this series at the beginning. At first it didn't capture my attention, but I kept on reading and started to enjoy it, but the ending left me feeling somehow cheated.

I feel that this would have been better if it had been continued on in an...

This manga has a nice feel to it and I easily read all of the chapters.
At the start I was reminded of Papillion - Hana to Chou, and was expecting the Jadae to impersonate Jinae, which didn't happen, and I was somewhat glad of it. The author sets the main character up at the beginning in a way which screams character development - there was such a lot that could be done with her! But the author...

This was the first manga I ever bought the hard copy of, it was also the first manga I ever read. Maybe because of that, but I love the first volume. I have, subsequently, read the following two volumes, and was disappointed.

The second story was the best because the girl actually got to know the boy before falling for hi, unlike the first where she fell in love with him in what? two days?

Moreover, his attitude completely changed once he saw it, transforming him from horrible guy to nice guy. Really? If he...

It's sweet and nice, but not overly interesting. The characters are likeable, and there's some laugh-out-loud scenes at points. It isn't fast paced, but that makes it more realistic. The main thing I would criticise is the flow of the manga. At times it felt very disted and jagged; episodic but without clear definition at the endings, but this is just a minor point.
It's a good read if you're...

A tough heroine in a shoujo manga? Finally! This manga kept me laughing throughout, the epilogue finished it off nicely. My only complaint would be that their relationship seemed to go from Dan disliking him to being in love. It seemed almost as though she felt sorry for him and decided to return his feelings; the transition between hating and loving the Prince wasn't smooth. Overall it was nice...

So, to stop her from talking to other guys he photocopies her note book with all her observations on guys and spreads them around the school. And she just accepts it???.

And the way the author gets round it by tacking onto the end how she becomes more popular because of it...He didn't know that...

I've read all 5 chapters that are out, and, honestly, it felt like a chore to read them. This series had a great start and could have been much more, but the plot wasn't developed and the characters weren't fleshed out. A manga that should have been great but ended up being just another wanna-be.

Edit: Finished the manga. The "ending" was completely unsatisfactory, it didn't finish the story, it...

I didn't find it that powerful; the emotions didn't seem to be altogether "there" and because of that I couldn't sympathise with the main character. To me, this seems to be a manga built on very little. Still, while I wouldn't recommend it (given that there are far better mangas out there) if you've got time on your hands, go ahead and read it 🙂

I found this really difficult to understand. The layout of the pages and the explaination in the first chapter are really bad, and I felt that the main girl's supposed "love" for the main guy was insubstantial and very forced. Not to mention she over-thought everything, had annoying insecurities and was really a weak protagonist. Overall, this is something I would skip, mostly because the mangaka...

This is...too bad for words. To be honest I'm amazed the first chapter even got published! The storyline may have been okay but the execution was horrid. There was no background to the characters, no explaination as to why the strongest guy in the school fell in love with the female lead at all. Are we to simply believe he fell in love with her picture? How materialistic.
The female lead may have...

It's tagged as seinen, which may be the reason, but I did not understand this at all. Maybe it's because I was reading this chapter by chapter, and so the small things that add to the larger picture were lost on me, but I just found it weird. It starts in Greenland and then goes to some completely different place with no(?) explaination? Excuse me if I get lost.
There was no explaination about the...

The beginning hinted at much more than was delivered in the story. It was obvious that the author/artist planned on making this a longer story and the rushed ending ties things up messily. The basic premisis for the story wasn't brilliant, the execution was poor and too much time was spent at the beginning, probably, I'd guess, because the author was still wondering where to take it.
Overall, it...

If it's a oneshot the author shouldn't try and compress what could, and probably should, have been the plot for a series into a single chapter. I've got no sympathy whatsoever for this. I read the description and thought "oh, maybe this'll be an okay series". When I saw it was a oneshot I should have known. The author tries so hard to squash so much into a short 49 pages (or whatever). There's...

After having read Bitter Virgin, I find it hard to believe this depiction of a rape victim being able to fall in love in 9 chapters. I also find the main male lead arrogant and insensitive. But, if you 'forget' (i.e imagine she just has some ongoing phobia of boys) about the main character being raped, it is a good read if you've got spare time on your hands.

I am a glasses wearer and I can tell you that taking of your glasses, while changing your appearance slightly, does not make you transform from a "plain" girl to a "beautiful girl". The mangaka clearly used this as oportunity for an "ugly duckling turned Cinderella" type of scenario. The main male lead is so superficial; he kisses her when her glasses fall off and she becomes "beautiful", but...

I it it: I got totally caught up at the beginning. That feeling dragged me through all of the scans that were out without complaint - I loved it, I wanted more. Then, as the scans came out one by one I gradually lost interest. I reread the beginning and found it to be totally unrealistic and stupid. The premise was good, but this story was ruined by the characters and the cliches.
The girl...

When I first read this I couldn't put it down, I ed romance, love triangles and a wonderful manga. Re-reading I realise that there is virtually no romance between the main characters (in the first section) and it all seems horribly contrived.
If you're under 13 I would recomend this, but for the older reader, I would say that this is not a good shoujo.

I'm assuming that the one chapter which is out is the entire volume given that its 180 pages long.
Yeah. I didn't like this. Emily was such a weak person and her character annoyed me. If your looking for a manga like this try First Girl which is much better.

Edit: I'm not going to delete what I put before, because that would make the above comment irrelevant. What I am going to say is I've now...

I didn't have high expectations for this manga: an event where part of the population completely lose their memories? But I was pleasantly surprised. This manga sured my expectations and for the first...11 chapters I was really enjoying this. I liked the main character and his refusal to accept the discrimination against the KID'Z - his determination to find a way out.
But somehow this idea...

Just. No.

So to sum it up, this plot is: I want to fulfil my dream. I'll throw away my dream with no regrets for a guy I met and fell in love with after one meeting. Oh no! I'm pregnant and found out he was cheating on me. Suddenly that dream I threw away is no longer in the trash can but the only thing I can cling on to and the only thing I have been loyal to (depsite throwing it in the bin).

No. There's "forced love" that's readable, and then there's "forced love" that is completely unreadable. This is the latter.

The female lead has a guy she likes and because the male lead is supposedly in love with her, he rapes and molests her because he's jealous. In front of the guy that she likes. You're telling me that the female lead is just going to forget all of this and just give in? At...

What the heck was up with the third story? It goes along quite typically - a girl moved into her father's friends home and there just happen to be two handsome guys who bully her yada yada yah - and then WHAM! Attempted rape by some cronies of the older brother, and both brothers have a personality switch?! Then back to the original personalities and everything hunky dory again?

Yeah, just skip...
