I find the strong dislike of this manga amusing. To be honest, it's not for idiots/idealists/prudes/escapism.
It's a very realistic manga dealing with chaos, love and pain, with a fair amount of ambiguity. It's not a fun or light read, it's a piece of art that doesn't try to make a point, instead it aspires to capture a segment of reality through a lens of beauty.
The pacing is quite unique, it's the embodiment of a sleepy town, where months can go by and nothing happens. In the same chapter, without it explicitly being stated, time will jump. I personally find it very beautiful and stimulating.
The

characters are realistic, they're hormonal teens dealing with growing up.
It can't be argued that the artist shows very good technical skill.
The ending: Some people seem very confused that the two hormonal teenagers' feelings could ever change... Not only that, the ending (and story) is symbolic of a life cycle of love itself (Awkward/Painful->Tender/Pure/Bliss->Awkward/VeryPainful->->->Nothing)
...
This isn't my genre at all but I loved this manga. I'd recommend this to somebody who's looking for something a bit different and an honest piece of art.
