Chitose is a shoujo manga based on the school life of Chitose, a student from Okinawa. One day she meets Yukito ( from Tokyo) who is on a holiday in Okinawa. On their first meeting he saves her from a stalker and kisses her. Chitose plans to meet him the next day only to fall sick and miss the meeting.
Convinced she is in love, Chitose transfers to Tokyo (to Yukito's school) and stays with her brother (an author who also lives in Tokyo). But upon meeting Yuki in his school, she finds out he already has a girlfriend!
The story follows Chitose unfolding the unusual love story of Yuki and his pretty girlfriend, Saaya and meeting other new friends like Shun, Ichii and Fuji-san.
Ok, can I just say how awesome this story really is?! A real addicting, gripping and page folding case; this one.
The characters are loveable! The story is epic! The problems are heartbreaking and serious, this manga really knows how to make it's own place in your heart.
Chitose:
She is the main character in this story. I need only three words to describe her " Cute, Innocent and Caring". Although she really likes Yuki, upon making friends with his girlfriend she tries really hard not to have any feelings towards him. She is not jealous or envious towards anyone and accepts the fact that her first kiss with Yuki was only a play for him. She cares for her older brother, neighbours, class mates and friends. Being innocent she gets really scared when it comes to new experiences and situations. All she wants is someone who is sincere with her and her loved ones to be happy. So I'll just say "Go Chii!!"
Yukito:
He is Chitose's crush and one of the main characters in the story. Although he is a playboy, everyone likes him a lot. There is a moving force in his personality that even makes it hard for his rivals to hate him. He is considerate towards others' feelings and often accepts and apologises for his careless mistakes. But when is comes to the girl he likes, Yuki gets envious, competitive and possessive.
All in all this is also one great person you would love to get to know as you read the story.
Sayaa:
She is Yuki's girlfriend. Being with him since their fifth grade, Sayaa and Yuki's relationship is shown relatively strong. She allows Yuki to flirt openly as she believes that they would always be together till the end. Her personality is strong and bearing, she can control her self and keep herself with in her better judgement. But sometimes I feel Sayaa can be a little cold or even selfish. Still that's a long way from being a bad person. She can still be added to the list of all the great characters the story has to offer.
Shun:
He is one of Yuki's high school friends. Shun has his own unique personality that really separates him from the rest of the characters. He is silent (a little arrogant but caring). There is also a secret reason to why Shun stays in the school festival club (no spoilers). He is also popular between students but doesn't like to hang in too many people. He also makes Chitose his first girlfriend after she gets rejected by Yuki.
