To be honest I don't know what happens with me with this manga. Even if is a typical romance with some ecchi I find it very funny and entertaining. I might have read all the manga 3 or 4 time in 4 years and each time I have read it i love it.

Well let's start the review:

- Story: 7
What to say, is nothing really special. Is just a story that a boy end up living with 2 girls and he is in love with one of her. The story it doesn't really focus ... on how they (Mugi and Yuu) are in love rather than how are they living and the feelings he have.

- Art: 8
The first time I saw the eyes I dislike it a lot, I found it horrible (don't ask me why) but right now I found it beautiful, and the landscapes or different scenarios that have well drawn. I can't say anything I disliked in this aspect.

- Characters: 8
This was a 7 at the begining but after thinking a little bit I think an 8 might be better. Most of the characters of this manga have a very different nature and a way to do the things. And they kind of evolve? This part I'm not really sure at all.

- Enjoyment: 9
I love this manga and I love the way is written, I know this is not a manga everyone will like One Piece or FMA but I had a very wonderful time reading it and I'm sure i'll read it again.

- Overall: 8
Not the best, not the worst. A solid manga if you like shounen romances.

This is a very strange manga. For one, it went on way too long. The stories became very repetitive around volume 18. By then all that needed to be said had been. A few volumes after the various confessions take place, there isn't a whole lot of meat left in the story.
In general, I feel that this mangaka's best work was his other series "Parallel" which is 4 volumes.
In specific, for reasons unknown, by volume 27 there was a drastic change in the art style, and by chapter 132 it was so bad that I ... couldn't force myself to keep reading. It looks much like what I've seen after an artist has had a stroke.
So, my rating of 5 is an average. The first dozen or so volumes rate and 8 or better. After vol 27, I give it a 4.

I never write reviews but this manga will be an exception because I hate it so much.

(Includes major spoilers)


The art is very mediocre. It's clear the author isn't bad at drawing, but it seems rushed in a lot of parts. The characters often look weird and unnatural, which makes the ecchi parts strange and uncomfortable. Also, the art looks like so many other mangas, which makes it boring. But again, it's not bad, it's just not good either. The art is important for a comic, it's the reason I don't just read a book.

The characters are plain and copies of every other character from ... every other ecchi shounen comedy ever. Like always, the only character with more than one dimension is the mc, the girls are just there to look pretty.

I left the story for last, as it's the worst part. If you can even call this a story. It is generic and boring in every way, like every other part of this manga. If you have watched anime or read manga for more than 5 seconds, you have already heard this story. It's the story of a boy who falls madly in love with a girl because she is pretty. Least innovative thing ever. Don't get me wrong I love me some ecchi comedy manga. They can be very funny and silly in a relaxing way, but this is just an endless uninteresting, unfunny panty parade


Basically, this manga sucks. I have only read a small part of the chapters while writing this review, but I highly doubt this piece of crap can turn into anything decent at this point. I only recommend it if you want to turn your brain off for a few hours and experience what being braindead is like. Personally, I'm only keeping on reading cuz I got the books for free, and I love free shit. This is not worth anything.
