Really, this manga is a complete waste of 15-20 perfectly good minutes of anyone's life.

Story: 1/10
The storyline really was pathetic. It's been seen before, in the exact same way it was portrayed. If there was a definition of a cliche manga story, then this is it. I understand that it's difficult to write/draw a shoujo one shot that's NOT cliche, but it's like the mangaka didn't even try on this one. I didn't see one spec of creativity or twist anywhere.

Art: 3/10
Well this was the only good thing in the manga. And that is not saying much at all. For middle-schoolers, I kinda-sorta-somewhat ... like that they were drawn kinda cutesy, and not impossibly gorgeous like in other manga. While I like that concept, there was nothing original or eye-catching about them. Also, the backgrounds were nauseating to look at. What were supposed to be beautiful fireworks for a beautiful scene looked like nothing more than a bunch of white lines on the sky.

Characters: 1/10
Cliche, cliche, cliche. Where HAVEN'T we already seen a cheerful, flat-chested, naive girl before? Or a male protagonist that's handsome and popular? You might as well look at cardboard cut-outs for all the creativity in these guys.

Overall: 2/10
Overall, this manga is the very definition of cliche. There really isn't a redeeming feature to this manga to talk about, so really. Just spare yourself.
