I actually didn't enjoy this manga as much as I thought I would. It's got a cute start and a cute ending, but much of the in-between felt unnecessary and uninteresting. That being said, overall it's still a good story with decent characters. But for some reason it just didn't draw me in like other similarly styled shoujo mangas.

I think part of it was that a lot of the characters (excluding Hagi and Sakurai) seemed very flat. All of Sakurai's friends didn't get any exploration or development into their character. I know it's a short manga, but still, I missed the depth of a whole cast of interesting characters that I get out of many similar mangas. Even Yuushi was too one-dimensional, and he got a lot of page time - it was just all the SAME.

I will say, though, that the two main characters, Hagi and Sakurai, were very interesting and fun to read about. I guess I just wish they had a little more focus, considering the manga is about them in the end. There were really only a few cute moments between them. Of course, those few moments were adorable!

As for the art, it's probably not fair for me to comment, because unfortunately I was reading a scanlation of poor page quality for the most part, especially the last chapter. The few chapters that I did have clearly, though, were very nice - I love the characters' designs and chibi-moments. There was also one extra chapter in color which was beautifully done.

It's a quick enough read that if you like this genre, it's totally worth it, but it's not the best in its category.
