At first glance, I wouldn't say that this manga has a very interesting or attention-grabbing plot, but I still liked this manga to the very end.

The story itself I have to compare with shoujo manga. It has the same type of almost hurried romance between the main characters and of course, the male lead is the type of perfect person that doesn't express his feelings for the other.
On the other hand, the protagonist is the type to be somewhat weak (?) and easy to bully to some extent.
However, I still find that the light-heartedness of the story made it very sweet.

There is ... no stupidly outrageous humour and definitely shows things in a more realistic and mature manner except for some obviously "set-up" and almost impossible situations.

I personally found the art to be very captivating and appealing to look at.
Again, there was lots of similarities to that of shoujo art as well.
There is not anything too special to discuss about the art, but I have to say that I enjoyed observing the different expressions of the characters.

Moving on, the character development was never quite there at all.
Perhaps it was the result of the length of the series, or perhaps the mangaka put more attention to the story and less into the characters themselves.
After pondering it a bit more, I have to admit that the characters are still rather one-sided without depth, even if there are only 2 main characters that the story surrounds.

Maybe this is because I am more of a shoujo manga reader, but I still enjoyed this series very much to the very end for the way it was so sweetly written.

This is my first review so don't ya kill me.
Story part contains minor spoilers from the storyline.

Story in nutshell: Girl meets a guy, crying, crying.Oh, can't go home, it's raining, night together at love hotel (he is gentleman), crying.Confession, crying.Girl meets ex-girlfriend by change, crying.Tries to hook them back together (while crying).Guy comes and is pissed of (girl is crying btw).Kiss, crying, I love you.Lets go to date.I'm so happy.Some shit happening, sex, the end.Story 5/10.

Art is good.Norhing special about it. 7/10.

Characters, eh. Considering that this girl has been in job interview more than 50 times and has never got a job and all she ... does is cry.. Well I have no idea what I was about to say but that propably tells enough. 3/10.

Though story is avarage and follows the usual patter and characters aren't any good, this manga still has good entetainment value.Enjoynment 7/10.

Overall 6/10.

Some mangas are a hit and some are a miss. While this has an interesting story line. the heroine once again is a weepy woman who falls in love way too fast and the man is her savior. and of course he does everything right except tell her how he feels. he's a liitle forceful but its only teasing. He acts aloof and helps her reach her goal. and is always there when she needs him blah blah blah. If you like very stylized, and the same josei story then by all means read this. If not skip it. Its not worth it. There's better ... out there.
