Unstable, acceptable mostly but the first chapter cover made me wonder if the cover girl did not have goldfish somewhere up her family tree.
I would say the drawing is very subjective, some people love it and others hate it.
Also, the comic has a lot of unnecessary fanservice, and i mean a lot. Definitely a guy (or lesbian) comic.
Conclusion placed here for readers to avoid spoilers.
Conclusion, unsuitable for reading this comic seriously as it is weak and shallow, unsuitable for reading it lightly as it has a serious tone. Half-ass comic from a half-ass writer who doesn't give a hoot. If you are looking

for a good read, try any of the 4 recommendations, they are much better than this. If you just want something to while your time, then why not try this? At the very least, it's readable.

Poor plot,
Hardly anything is said about the main character's motives, making it difficult to side with the character. In fact, the main characters are hardly developed at all. The main character is just a swindler, who comes from a family of swindler and is 15. Why he swindles is apparently because it runs in the family. This goes on for at least 18 chapters.
Weak character motives,
it is mostly the various character's actions that drives this story, so weak character motives in this case would equate to weak plot.
The story runs based on the other characters' poorly explained action of challenging the main character to a gamble. For example, one of the challenger challenges the main character because he pulled of a party trick (party trick in ch 3) and this gets so unexplainedly serious that the main character had his own finger cut off and his challenger was willing to cut off 4 of her fingers, just to...prove a point? Also that point was that party tricks insults magicians. (WTF!?)
Mostly predictable swindling strategy
example, the first game, the coin game, the main character finds the coin through process of elimination. What?! Seriously? The coin is soo small, and there was only 20 places for him to eliminate, while there are probably a few thousand places to hide the coin and yet he manages to find it? Also, one of the places to eliminate was, "the coin was hidden in the student desks" the desks? not telling which one? So he could just eliminate all the desks in one fell swoop? There must have been like, at least 40 desks, that makes at least 40 hiding places, what kind of lousy game and solution is this?
All these and it relies on the loophole that gambling would be allowed in any school in such a public manner (various committee members and even a teacher is involved) especially since the school is apparently well known and prestigious.
