Preliminary (29/83 chp)
Story: It starts out pretty well for a romantic comedy--serious plot, light-hearted tone, and realistic emotions. When it got to the point where Hibari was married and Ageha could tolerate Hibari's marriage, I believe the story lost it's plot. When I was reading in the middle of volume two, I was curious to find out why this story was occurring (for a different reason rather than just Yukari and Ageha's love story). In volume 5, when Hibari gives birth to her baby that started the whole book in the first place, it lost what little story plot it had left. When it came to Ageha's love problems, I found them very relatable, and I enjoyed how Mitsuya acted as a sort of "cupid," trying to fix the couple's problems. But at times, I was just as frustrated as him when Ageha or Yukari would be "love-illiterate." Also, in volume 3, Ageha was worried about Yukari's feelings towards part timers. Then, in volume 5, the author brought that problem back, and I smacked myself in the head, thinking "Didn't we cover this already?!" At this point in the series, I believe it's just going to be more emotion swinging and still a small lack of plot until these two finally get together.

Art: The art and pen work I believe is very elegant, and there's not a scratch out of place. I believe if the hair got more lines, it'd be perfect, but I'm not complaining. The clothes also look beautiful, and that's important for a wedding manga. Overall, it's just about perfect.

Character: They are all quite memorable, but the author has me guessing on who this "Kana" is. From what I've seen, she hasn't appeared yet, but if she keeps dropping hints, I feel it will bring out the characters appearance quite well. Mitsuya's the typical perv, but he's also the "cupid," like I said earlier, so his role is quite apparent. Yukari is amusing, since he's just like a little girl in love, but also the timid bully that doesn't really know what affection feels like. Ageha's the typical teen, but that's what makes her memorable, since she has relatable problems. Overall, they're quite decent.

Enjoyment: The lack of enjoyment for me is mainly because of the lack of plot. I personally think that good stories need a conflict, conclusion, and only a little epilogue. To me, this series has bam wham resolution, then tons of extras.

Overall: Considering all of what I've said, it's an okay series. I won't be scurrying to find the next book when it comes out, but I won't just stop reading it either.
