This manga is a realistic depiction of high school girls and the friendships between them. The manga doesn't try to be something it's not, it's just a peek into the normal life of normal high schoolers and the problems they encounter, how they affect them and how they deal with them. The story is simple, lighthearted and very down to earth. Each chapter focuses on one of the main characters, which gives you the chance to understand each girl better. It's a short manga, but it wraps up nicely. I would've liked it if the story was longer but it feels right that it ended ... the way it did.
The characters have depth and are relatable, i even saw my high school self reflected on them at times. They are funny, quirky and flawed, and not at all your usual manga girls. They deeply care for each other and it's really nice to see a realistic representation of friendships between girls. They're consistent characters, and their actions match their personalities and values.
The art is simple and unique, unlike any other manga I've read. The way the characters are drawn is also different from the usual. They're tall and lanky, chubby, really short or with really thick eyebrows. They look different from each other and like real people, which is a really nice change from what I'm used to in manga. The style is also kind of cartoonish, which gave it a nice feel.
I really enjoyed reading this manga and look forward to rereading it in the future.

This is my first review. I honestly didn't plan on writing anything but I saw the score this manga has and I think it deserves better.

This is probably one of my favorite manga, and I know that's a bold claim. Not because the story is super original or the characters are something else, but because it feels really human.

From reading the synopsis I totally didn't expect such a mature view on the topics the manga deals with. I thought it would just be a cliché love story about a girl and a boy that just so happens to have a kid.

The way ... the mangaka dealt with complex themes as teenage parenthood and being an orphan is just flawless, and the inclusion of them wasn't just a cliché plot device. The way the plot grows around the teenage parenthood instead of in spite of it is specially worth mentioning. It never felt as if Tetsu being a dad was an afterthought just for the novelty of it. I also really enjoyed how one of the principal focuses is how you shouldn't be afraid to show your real self to the people you love. This isn't a story that only focuses on romance, it's a story about family, having to grow up fast and where you fit into the world.

The characters develop in a natural and believable way and they slowly win you over. They are incredibly mature for a shoujo manga and it's a great change of scenery not having to read through chapter upon chapter of the same misunderstanding because the characters don't know how to talk without being vague and assuming stuff.

It's totally a shoujo with a josei feel to it. This manga is sweet and short, but at the same time it gives you the closure you need. The ending may feel a bit rushed but it doesn't leave you feeling like something's missing, and I really appreciate that in a manga. It ends just where it needs to end.
