Story: Very unique if going by the romance between a "chubby" girl and chubby maniac. It's not a pairing you often see in Asian comics as the majority of the homogenous cultures is very slim and an interest for seeing "heavier" sizes in shoujo is relatively low.
Art: The art is nothing special, but the lines are clean and the characters are cute. You can actually tell all of the characters apart, from our leading characters to the minor, one-page characters. It's not avant garde by any means, but is pleasing to the eye.
Character: Let me tell you this honestly. One of the reasons
...
I love this manga so much is our main character. In other mangas with an "unworthy" girl and hot guy, the girl is often just blind to her dazzling perks and need to often be reminded despite being drawn as one of the most beautiful characters in the story.
Here, the only problem is that she's "chubby" and even then it's not so much her problem as it is other people's. She doesn't think that she's the most hideous girl in the world and she doesn't need flattery to constantly boost her up. She's just completely aware that her size doesn't float everybody's boat and she's okay with that.
"What?? A main character in a shoujo manga who actually likes herself??"
Yeah, she's that rare of a jewel.
Overall: The author treats her main characters with respect (which is more than I can say for other mangas featuring "bigger" ladies) no matter how out of the norm they are, and the overall feeling is light and cheerful. I'll be rereading this when I'm in need of a happy mood.
