First time review here. I just finished the manga and I have mixed feelings about it. It felt like a roller coaster with new turning points at every episode.

Let's begin by making a short comparison between stories of other series that might help out in defining the overall "atmosphere" of the manga. Imagine Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsû meets Angel Beats. That would be a pretty neat way to put it.

It has this weird/crazy vibe in which nothing is what it seems at first, only to reveal that the world we live in is not what we thought of, and how Kamimura Yuuka (Main female ... lead) has this tremendous role to play in the great scheme of things.

We begin with your typical high school fashion, in which Shirasaki Shuushi lives his extremely repetitive and boring life. He's starting to notice that everyday is kind of the same, until he meets Kamimura, the weirdo of the class. She's the only one who acts naturally and out of monotony, and who claims to have the "power to change the world".

What begins as a high school story rapidly unfolds into Haruhi-ish-style-sci-fi-madness with further exploration of sci-fi themes like existentialism, trans-humanism, scientific experimentation, technological advances and... love, of course. All while lightening the mood with some fanservice and little bits of ecchi as well.

There's an aura of mystery that surrounds every single chapter, but it is dispersed with comic relief by Kamimura's playful (you could say crazy?) personality, and the funny interactions between the rest of the cast. It is a really good story that maybe isn't flawlessly displayed but nevertheless gets the job done. And I do think that most of the complains about the pacing and the WTF moments get resolved in the end where the most important revelations happen.
