To sum it up: A nice romance. Very relaxing to watch. Not too cheesy or mushy-gushy, nor overdramtic!

Story - 7
While the story is fine, I found that it kind of lacked a defined direction. It really was 100% about relationships and love. I shouldn't really criticize it for this, because that's the point of this anime. However, I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been something else than just the romance storylines. I really appreciated that the ending of the story wasn't at all rushed, it takes a few episodes to conclude. All of the loose ends are tied up and ... I think this part of the story was done especially well.

Art - 8, Sound - 7
The art is well done, although it's nothing special. The characters are cute and their appearances suit their personalities. The facial expressions are all well-done and all background art looks very nice! As for the sound, I didn't especially notice it, it didn't wow me or anything. However, it must have worked very well with the anime, since I hardly noticed it all!

Character - 7
The characters are very well defined. While the majority of the characters are very likeable, others are frustratingly shy and boring. Overall, I think they're well done though. It's the characters that really make this anime, since it's all based on their relationships!

Enjoyment & Overall - 7
Overall, I enjoyed this anime, it was very pleasent and relaxing. I think I may have chuckled a couple of times, but it is by no means a comedy. I think they could have picked up the pace in some parts, but that's okay because none of the important stuff got rushed that way!

I 100% recommend this anime to romance-lovers!

Story - 8

A very cute oneshot! It turned out to be different than I was expecting it to be when I started reading it. It refreshingly strayed from your typical shougo manga - you know the ones... where the unpopular girl tries really, really hard and never gives up and eventually get's the popular guy.

I also enjoyed that it didn't just follow the girl's perspective, we got to see the guy's perspective as well. We really got to see the characters' development throughout the story - which is pretty impressive considering it's only a oneshot! The story was just very cute without getting too ... sickly sweet!

Art - 8

The art was fine. Nothing about it stood out to me in a particularly negative or positive way. The images were all clear and easy to interpret.

Character - 7

While I liked the development of the characters, the girl is a bit annoyingly needy and shy. But!! Keep in mind, that's kind of the point of the story, so bear with it! She shows good character growth. The guy character was a bit more likeable to me.

Enjoyment - 9

I really enjoyed this short read! It was sweet and pulled on my heartstrings.

Overall - 8

Wow, I really enjoyed this story! If you love sweet fairytale romances, you will definitely enjoy this manga! It's not your stereotypical, traditional fairytale, so it's a bit refreshing too. :)
Story: 9/10

The art is nice, the characters all look very cute, which definitely added to my enjoyment of the manga. The main male characters look absolutely gorgeous (this may sound strange, but once you read the manga, you will know exactly what I mean by this!). The lead female character is also really cute and not in an annoying chibi way, you know the kind... with huge googley eyes and a huge head that is ... completely disproportionate to the body. The way she is drawn definitely makes her all the more endearing. Not to mention the other female characters, some of which are almost breathtakingly beautiful!
The dragons and other mythical creatures are all really equisitely drawn as well. :)
Art: 9/10

For the most part the characters have clearly identifiable personalities, although some characters are definitely weaker than others. The lead characters are all very well done. I appreciate that the lead female character isn't overly needy, and so she isn't annoying.
Character: 7/10

Taking all of the above into consideration, I thoroughly enjoyed this manga! Its love story is so sweet, and you really get drawn into it. The characters are lovable, and there is just the right amount of humour thrown into the mix!
My only complaints are:
1) The ending "resolution" of the story is sort of abrupt and the authour could have made it longer and put more time into developing it.
2) Similarly, there are very abrupt shifts in the plotline. It's almost like the story is segmented into very obvious stages and that the authour wasn't sure how to make those transitions a bit more smoothly. (Not sure if people will understand what I'm trying to get at here without me putting in some spoiler information... ehh..)
Still, these are very insignificant things, I really enjoyed this read!
Enjoyment: 10/10
