"My third condition is: have a dream."

Now, as many of you can guess from the synopsis of the story, the very beginning is pretty cliché for a shoujo manga, which has turned many readers to drop it or just toss it away because of the overused story. But, don't do that and give this manga the second try. :)

Story: 8
Like I said, Yumemiru Taiyou starts off as many other mangas of the same genre - meeting a guy by accident and going to live with him. Now, I was hesitant at first whether to continue it or not, but I decided to do it because of the main characters. As the story progressed, I didn't really see what the main plot was except of the main female character wanting to find her love and find her dream. However, that worked out great as it slowly lead me through the everyday lives of our main characters and even made all the episodic chapters connect in a nice way. Giving it an 8 because some parts were so obvious due to them being used in a lot of other shoujos.

Art: 10
What can I say, the art is unique in it's own way and very realistic. I love the way the mangaka made the blood-related characters look alike and made all of the characters' proportions look natural (not like many other mangas). From the height differences to physique and facial expressions, art is one of the things I enjoyed the most while reading the manga.

Character: 10
The main thing that kept me reading Yumemiru Taiyou after the cliché chapter 1. At first we all got the overused characters: a cool Landlord, a sweetheart Asahi and a punk Zen. However, as the story progresses, you realise the boys are not like that at all and see them gradually change and reveal the other side of them to the female protagonist, as well as other supporting and minor characters.
Even though this is a harem manga with a big love triangle in it as well, all the characters stick together and care about their friendship more than their loves and crushes on one another. The way they're all selfless and dedicated to their friends and family is the charm of this manga. There wasn't a single chapter where I didn't got that heartwarming feeling and just wanted to hug all the characters for being such sweethearts. You can't just simply hate a character in Yumemiru Taiyou - that's just way too hard.

Enjoyment: 10
I pulled an all-nighter so I could finish the manga, so I guess that tells more than I could ever do.

Overall: 10
It's highly enjoyable and re-readable.

I recommend Yumemiru Taiyou to everybody who's looking for a manga with great characters and beautiful art and those who have, at least once, struggled to find and pursue a dream of their own.
