This manga can give you sweet and warm moments. First of are two main characters in here. While reading it I had laughs, emotional moments, a little bit anger and also warm moments like I said earlier.

Kobayakawa is a unsocial male student. He often pretends like sleeping instead of dealing with other students. He actually despises them for being friendly with each other. For him friendship and all the things that come with it are lies. There are reasons for that we learn while story advances.

Hoshino is quite opposite of Kobayakawa, she is social. She has a close circle of friends, seems like whole ... student body likes her and likes her. One thing that picks our interest is her face has a quite make up.

Those to end up with a quite funny circumstance and Hoshino is bound to Kobayakawa because of her make-up. Hoshino has a plain face but with make-up, she becomes the popular Hoshino. Kobayakawa is a quite talented art club student. With Kobayakawa's art club teacher and somehow childhood friend of Hoshino's, they have a mutual connection. Without giving any spoilers, while their friendship evolves and advances more characters from both their current and former lives are involved with them.

Hoshino's character has quite dilemmas but also has many sweet spots, while Kobayakawa starting to have dilemmas also due to his relation with Hoshino.

So it has to be said this story is an all too frequent example of a manga author who for reasons best known only to themselves decided to wreck their series with an incomprehensible and thoroughly unsatisfying ending. Sadly, one that goes well beyond a few bitter 'ship' fans that ultimately saw this series being widely deplored both domestically and overseas.

That distaste after reading is all the more bewildering given for most, the author delivers an outstanding story of thoughtful and entertaining character development - quite possibly some of the most interesting within this genre. There is a wide main cast with diverse and complex ... personalities threaded through with an interesting enough plot that doesn't overshadow the characters. For this, the series scores well along with some cute art and genuinely funny story telling at times.

If you're reading, then by all means do carry on as the story is still enjoyably in the most. Just steel yourself for a disappointing end that will make you question the point of 100+ chapters and some frustrating angst in contemplating what the author was thinking when he decided to wrap things up as he did.

That said, there is a small saving grace in the epilogue released post completion. Something done almost to satiate fans and one wonders given it's only a few pages if it was really only done in a vain effort to ensure fans woldn't completely abandon the authors future works.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
The Author is pathetic, he gave the manga the worst possible ending he could just because he was salty for not getting an anime adaptation. I really liked the manga and I really enjoyed it but the author clearly had no passion for his own work and killed it just out of spite a dick move tbh... The manga was going great and the characters were enjoyable and in some cases, even relatable and I enjoyed the character development. I can't state this enough but the ending was dreadful and was overall disappointing. I don't hate the story but the author. If I see ... a manga from him again I would like to avoid it at all costs
