How do I even put into words my feelings towards this manga. How.

Story 10/10: It has a very interesting structure, wherein it sets up a basic plot, and then it spends quite a lot of time being 'episodic' so to say, just introducing the main characters and the relationships between them and some relevant side-characters. Due to this, it might be called slow because of how long it takes to get to the serious parts, but personally I didn't mind it at all because this way the reader has a lot of time to grow to care about the characters, and the 'episodic' parts are done so well it's hard to find any fault in them.

Art 10/10: This manga is worth reading just for the art, and that is probably the biggest reason why I prefer the manga over the anime. The art is so wonderfully detailed and beautiful in every single panel, the backgrounds and especially the building shots are exquisite, so much so that I often found myself just staring at a given panel, wondering how much time and effort must've gone into it. However, my words cannot describe it accurately enough, so the best way to comprehend what I'm talking about is by reading it for yourself.

Character 10/10: Ultimately, no matter how great the story or the art are, the characters are the most important part of this manga, and honestly, they're definitely some of the best characters I've ever encountered in fiction. In the beginning all the main characters are introduced as simple stereotypes, but we slowly find out more and more about their personalities and their backgrounds through their interactions with the side characters. Though there are chapters that are mostly focused on one particular character, they get developed even beyond those chapters, and it's wonderful.

And then there's the side characters, who initially might seem like one-off characters we won't see ever again, but then they pop up later in the story and become integral to whatever the main characters are doing. It's incredible just how many characters there are in this manga, but what I love most is the various relationships the main characters have with one another and with the side characters, the conflicts that arise from those relationships, and the different ways these conflicts are resolved. Because honestly, the best thing about the characters in this manga is that they get things done. Instead of just sitting around and waiting for things to get fixed by someone else, they make foolish decisions and throw themselves into stupid situations just because they can't stand to see their friends struggling.

Enjoyment 10/10: I didn't think I would find the manga as funny or as enthralling as I found the anime, but obviously, I was extremely wrong, and somehow the manga managed to make me laugh harder than the anime, even though it has no sound effects, no crazy animation, and it really tones down the humour in the second half. It also made me cry a fair few times, which was extremely unexpected considering how light-hearted it often is. I don't know when I will ever find another manga that balances comedy with drama this well.

Overall 10/10: Of course it has its issues, but they're not things that would ruin my overall impression of this manga. It is certainly one of the best within this medium, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to just about everyone, especially if you're a fan of shoujo or comedy, but even if you're not, just read it. And.... this is probably my favourite manga ever, so I expect I will reread it quite often in the future.
