Alright, one of my first reviews and I noticed this one didn't have any so here goes.

This is a slow burn with no real payoff at the end. Though this is a short story, the MC's dont get together until the end. At first, Its fun to watch the ridiculous situations and misunderstandings a regular romance manga has but it becomes almost become tedious reading because one can only fall into the same set of boobs so many times before you start saying "we get it"

I will say the saving grace is the art, I love when stories are drawn this way. So I ... give the artwork a thumbs up.

For anyone looking for a breaker on should I read this or not, I will tell you your time is better spent elsewhere unless you enjoy the same Gag over and over and over again.

That being said, I did finish this in an afternoon so if you want some button-bursting bosoms to look at with no ecchi like payoff, you have come to the right place.

TL;DR
If you like a light-hearted manga involving a school setting and a lot of ecchi moments with a big-breasted girl, you'll probably like it.

Plot - 5
The manga's content is basically written in a kinda short-stories style, with each chapter having essentially no relation with another, and with little or no progression. I'm not particularly a fan of this style, but it does provide decent comedic moments. Around the middle a new girl gets involved, who got into the Student Council just to get close to Mio, who she likes a lot, but that part more or less became irrelevant when Mio ignores her for Ritsu. ... If her role had a more complete arc it would have spiced up the plot a bit. Overall the plot is pretty average.

Characters - 5.5
Essentially no character development notable. Even by the epilogue Ritsu believes getting closer to her is a hassle and grants him "a greater life threat", albeit possibly a mere jest, though nonetheless he doesn't show much affection. Mio did learn the lesson of not pushing so hard so selfishly, as it actually got Ritsu in hospital trying to save Mio in an "accident", and she does seem satisfied with the relationship. Other characters are too minor to comment on. (2/5)

As for design, I'm used to more masculine-looking MCs for a series like this, but nonetheless RItsu's appearance fits the plot and allows moments where he's mistaken as a cute girl, adding to the comedy element. Mio's design on the other hand is pretty good. The big breasts aside, the good long purple hair and a cute face / character is attractive. All in all the designs are decent. (3.5/5)

Overall score: 5.25 / 10
