Synopsis

Mako spends his afternoons at the classroom, lazying around, studying... That is, provided that his beautiful and enticing friend and classmate Sakurai is not around. Is she coming on to him?

So, it went down on a really traditional comedy/romcom path. The usual moves, usual character behaviour and even desing. By looking at a distance it really is nothing original. Which it isn't meant to be because of how short it is.. I mean, it is a 4 volumes manga, of course things have to happen fast, and in such short storyline you must have an original thing going and the rest doesn't really matter, and that original bit is literally the manga's title.

The chapters follow a common procedure. Girl teases guy, guy gets embarrassed, and then a large frame of the girl making a flirty smile with sparkles all around. The same scenario occurs EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER. Their character design is extremely empty, with ...
