Parallel is an average boy meets girl, Romantic Comedy and they somehow end up living together. Pretty simple but it works well with the story. This is a decent Rom/Com and even though it's incredibly similar to it's successor Pastel the story never feels dragged on. Although with this being such a short manga it is easy to finish this, leaving you with an empty feeling inside, from not being completely satisfied.

The artwork is really average, just like this manga and even with poorly drawn male characters at least the girls look good. The characters are the typical batch you'll find in these sort of romance manga but that's a good thing because they are so likable.

Of course being a typical shounen romance it's packed full off Japanese puns and cliches but at least the male protagonist character isn't so submissive, it's just the female protagonist that can get quite annoying. One trend this Rom/Com follows is how slowly the relationship develops and even though this is a short the manga the chapters are pretty long, which gives it that slow feel.
