I was drawn in by the art, like I am for most of the shorter mangas I read. This art reminded me strongly of the Studio Ghibli artstyle--simple to the eye, but detailed enough to hear the background noises.

The writing in this series is very floaty in the sense that while ten or so plot lines are opened, only one is officially solved. The other plot lines are resolved subtly or in ways where the audience feels half-satisfied with the way things turned out. This idea applies to the first and third story the most, while the second story is a melancholy oneshot.

I don't think reading this would result in absolute hatred unless the reader desires truly satisfying endings, but you probably won't be satiated reading this because of how open-ended each of the stories are.

Well, enjoy either way whatever your choice is!
