The art is the best part, but the writing as a whole is kind of a hot mess. You're led to think that some characters will be relevant, then they aren't; that the blackmail will have relevance in Eichi and Akino's relationship, then it doesn't; that the contest subplot will be suspenseful, then it isn't; that the Kubo siblings' drama will be relevant, then it's not. It's like playing hot potato: every time the mangaka touches upon something interesting, she flings it across the room.
The 6th chapter was especially hard to understand among the new characters that are suddenly thrown in there, changing hairstyles, and
...
confusing speech bubbles. At the end, everyone is mostly as they were introduced save for Eichi no longer being scared of Akino, because I guess they had one quick chat and the blackmail's forgotten. Any interesting drama is just breezed through, yet at the same time this story felt so long and boring to get through and I didn't care about anyone.
I'm giving this a 5 overall because it's just that forgettable in terms of characters and plot.
