A disappointing mystery combined with a refreshing romance. Haru no Houtai Shoujo is a pretty good manga that is frustratingly close to being a really great one.
Story (6): The plot centers around a group of people all trying to catch a serial arsonist, and most of whom have some kind of supernatural abilities. It's a solid enough premise, but the execution isn't very good. For one thing, the story is lacking in suspense.

tl;dr: A manga that has a good main couple and a story that has good concepts but is told in a really messy manner.
This manga is primarily held up by how amazing the main heroine, Natsu is, which results in the relationship between Haru and Natsu being pretty amazing and well developed, which ultimately is enough to hold it up quite a bit.
