This part is just a typical review. I pour all of my frustration in the second section, just jump to it if you wanted to.

-- Story:
Noting much you have to expect than a teacher who has 2 students confessed to him. It just a typical romance story, nothing more. You'll learn a bit about Japanese poetry in this manga. While it's not a great as it seems, but I love how the atmosphere really shows how romantic Higuchi is despite all of his immaturity in love (What am I talking about? I dunno how to say it properly, that's it) But one thing that makes ... me regret reading this manga, it's the ending. It's not like the plot is bad, no, just jump to the second section if you are curious on what am I talking about.

-- Art:
Normal beyond unique. Well, I can't judge art since I can't draw myself and as long as it's neither inconsistent nor improper proportions, I'm absolutely fine with it. On top of it, this manga doesn't as far as to illustrate Visual Novel's CG-like art, but it still amazing on its own.

-- Character:
I love them, all of those three. As the story flows, as their relationships grow, you'll love them more too. But the two heroines lack the most crucial thing in the story, they have no background story that fills up the hole why they love Higuchi that much. Here I was expecting it would be revealed in the last 3/4 chapters but nope, I didn't get anything.

--Enjoyment:
How could I give less than 10 if I read this whole manga in one seat?


--COMMENT ON THE WHOLE MANGA:
Yea, reading this one feels like a nostalgia, or maybe something that I've never experienced before but recalls to have feel it at some point in my past. Even with zero background story for the characters, I still develop my love for all those three. In a small bitter scene, even if it's just a page or a single panel, I can feel how hurt it is. Anyway, I have some frustrations while reading this.
The first I've said earlier about background story, the second is even though this manga is supposed to be for teen and have slightly submissive ecchi as a topping, but there's a scene that out of the blue shows explicit nudity, like a sudden NSFW. For some readers including me, it should have no problem to you, but there are people who can't receive this.
The third is the ending. The only thing I hate about harem is not how it always flavored by ecchi tag, but how the story ends. It hurts. Even if you like harem ending, or an ending where only one heroine who win the protagonist, it still hurts cuz I love both types of ending, and both heroines in this manga. Only if Taguchi Hoshino-sensei from Maga-Tsuki take a part for the ending, I could actually give this one a perfect 10.

Kuoji Miura's (Blue Box) only other non-oneshot serialization.

It is a 4 tankobon romcom, centered around an unremarkable young male teacher, who gets confessed to by two of his students. The teacher needs to come to terms with the stigma (apparently pretty easy) and then decide which of the girls he wants to spend his life with.

Both girls are sweet and likeable, but the teacher is pretty oof.
The art is inferior to Blue Box but still fine. The plot is passable and the ecchi is neither stupid nor too degenerate.

I wasn't terribly gripped by this manga and despite it being short and ... too the point, it still somehow felt a little too long.

Sweet and simple and really cute up until the last chapter, which was completely heart-rending. The author even did the trope of trolling you by ostensibly "revealing" who won-- just to hit you with the nasty left hook (she moved on and found someone else in the end). The author executes the same kinda dynamic so much better later on when he made Blue Box, and it feels far less cheap. I still give this a 7 because it was good up until the climax for me; the last two chapters legit felt like I worked up to a confession, to get rejected and found ... out that I was led on because the girl I asked out had a boyfriend on the side. I imagine proponents for the other girl would rate this a bit higher. As for me, I'm going to bury my head in the sand and say the last chapter simply didn't happen. I'm not going to cry. I'm an adult.
