In a line: excellent story, characters, comedy, enjoyment and overall, good art and subpar character development.

Story: Excellent

I think this might be one of the weirdest but yet most normal stories I've ever seen. A puppet girl and later on a puppet guy doing normal stuff, making friends and doing normal people stuff. It reeks of sheer creativity and originality, yet comprises of ordinary stuff, and that creates a unique story.

In short, this is about a puppet's high school life, mainly her first year, who is controlled by an old man (all hail the old man!!).

Art: Good
Details are there, sometimes the funny aspects of the manga are also portrayed through the art. Nice art style, stable drawings (no issue of eyes too big/small or other features drawn wrongly).

Character: Excellent
Excellent cast. When the characters were introduced, their personalities and character traits were vividly shown and expressed, and were stable for most of the manga (one exception was the "bottom to top" chapter).

Character Development: Subpar
Unfortunately, to the end of the manga, if you ask me what have I known more about the MAIN characters (by this I exclude Sakura, the 2 teachers and Ageha) since they were introduced, I can largely tell you not much has changed. The manga seems to evolve more about events than the main characters' lives and the understanding of them.

Enjoyment: Excellent
One of the best unique comedy you can find in the market probably. The comedy style is excellent, with touching moments, and finally exciting scenes which are hardly predictable.

Overall: Must Read -
Excellent storyline and comedy about the slice-of-life etc. events of Sumire and the people around her.
Only downside is character development.
