Between this and Kawaii Joushi I'm starting to think that the mangaka either doesn't understand love or is just not good at conveying it. Like his other manga that I'm reading, the art is good, but the storytelling is pedestrian.

Also, the introduction of Machida so late in the game proves to be a distraction that adds nothing. I'm not sure why the ML didn't just stick with Ruri and her friends; it's an easy-as-pie harem opportunity that he basically spits at in favor of "Fuwari", who honestly isn't worth the trouble. Yeah, she's easy on the eyes and has great assets, but her personality is bland.

I don't recommend this; the short length only serves to undercut the paper-thin story that much further.

Not worth your time (probably)

by Hokkaidochai

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

This is a series which has an above 7 rating on this site and is viewed as an underrated work in reddit. I strongly disagree with the sentiment. It doesn't deserve any more attention than it has gotten. I it, I haven't read that many manga(s) to confidently say that it's worse than most but I can say that it's certainly not one of the better reads out there.

If I had to summarize this series in one word it would be: 'pointless'. The MC is as bland as it gets, almost like the writer made him this bland on purpose. He does nothing to make you interested or invested in him, although in his backstory he makes a better impression. The series is held together for the most part by Ruri, his one-sided lover, and Fuwari, just because she's cute. The manager of the cafe she works in is a fun character too. I wish we could've seen more of her rather than the MC who just "exists" in the situation for the most part.

I guess I'm being too harsh with this work. The art is pretty good and there are no cheesy harem tropes which is a plus, but I have to say that the author wasted a lot of potential here. Throughout the first volume I kept thinking that it could redeem itself and the MC, and it truly could have, but it just fell flat in the second half. The main crux of this series, the backstory of Fuwari is shallow and overemphasized. It doesn't really feel all that important and deep. That's why I made an to write all this, because I'm bothered by all those 8 and 9 (and 10) star reviews which misled me into getting my hopes up for something like this. Do read this if you have nothing else to do and just want some guilty pleasure, but it's probably not going to be worth it if you're this work's target audience (Seinen).

Enjoyable but fairly unoriginal

by Theoneyedsnake

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

The manga as a whole was enjoyable. The art was decent, the characters weren’t bland, but the plot is just plain unoriginal.

Right off from the first chapter you just know who the main character picks. Like in almost every trope and stereotype, it’s almost always the new girl.

Worth reading

This is one of my favorite short romance titles. The artwork is wonderful, the characters are fun and engaging and the plot moves along at a brisk pace without any filler. Although there is some drama and a minor love triangle, it's not over done and the story is mostly about a pair of people coming to grips with their shared past and a hopeful future together.

It's sweet, well done and about the perfect length.

It's fine I guess...

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

So I do think that this is above average overall, but there's a couple of glaring problems with the story. One of the biggest issues is, I know why the maid chick likes Fuwa but they don't set up a reason for him to like her other than "she has big tits". It just feels like they could have tried harder to establish an actual relationship between the two. I don't think they even had a legit conversation the entire time. Fuwa and Ruri had much better chemistry but I guess screw that since she doesn't have a huge rack I guess. They also rub that fact in her face constantly, by the end of the story I just felt bad for Ruri. She deserved better. It just feels like the author wanted us to feel this love between the main two leads but forgot to have them actually connect as people, it leaves you feeling that their love is just surface level.

The whole story could have just been done so much better. For example most of the side characters are practically useless. I don't know why stories like this have to completely ignore the other male characters, I was kind of hoping they would at least throw them a bone since they have the setup of a dating meetup.

Most Excellent Art and an Appropriately Short Plot

by DoujinHunter
10 years ago

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

The high point of this series is by far the art, which is gorgeously sexy whenever it depicts the lead girls. Otherwise, it's very pedestrian in of plot (will they or won't they?), characters (tsundere loli, clumsy large proportioned woman, the crazy lesbian, the clueless guy), and themes (expressing love). The best thing to say about it is that it is very short for this type of series, which is good since it doesn't overstay its welcome and bad because it doesn't have an epilogue. The series made reference to the age of time but the relative lack of content made those statements much less impactful when characters discussed the long time they had spent with each other towards the end.

A semi-good misdirection piled on by industry cliches

by Lightbrand
11 years ago

Rating: N/A

The author is clearly capable as he managed to pull off a deception one would not have ever expected a story of this caliber to have.

The basic premise is nothing but a yawn fest, but this little "twist", or rather "untwist" at the half way point of the story made the sole reason of reading this manga semi worth it (it's goes back to crap after the reveal, but at least it ended soon after.)

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned this little misdirection used by the mangaka, I can't be the only one to appreciate it in an otherwise horribly bland story.

The pacing was quite nice.the artwork suited the story well and the way the mangaka works each is very well done.the characters have more depth than I tjought they would have. (Well,everyone except the 2 male friends.) It couldve gone for at least a little bit more but it still ended in a good place.

This could have gone on longer.

by JackGrover

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This story could have actually gone on longer and still kept its appeal. There were times I was a little dissapointed with the drawings, but the story had some really good moments. It also had some cliche' moments, but that's why we like these "harem" style manga, right? It's a good story with a good back story. The back story could be expanded a little more but it worked well with this short 15 chapter story. I hope the mangaka will continue to develop these characters and I look forward to their future works.
