This is one of those manga which is hurt badly by its length. If you're just looking for something extremely short and fluffy, this may be up your alley, but otherwise, it might be best to look for something else.

The general problem with this manga is that it actually has several very cute concepts, but due to its length, it can't really go anywhere with them and all the loose ends need to be tied up so quickly that it feels mildly unsatisfactory. It's also your usual affair of romance where the characters are already throwing themselves on each other before it really makes ... a whole lot of sense, plot-wise. I get it, you have to make it work quickly when you're putting out a short work like this, but it never really does get any less hard to believe people just suddenly speeding up into making out and then ten seconds later, they're again questioning if they like each other. Things like that are something I know are prone to either really taking people out of what they're reading or completely not bothering them, so I would keep this in mind if you're considering giving this manga a go. For the most part, I would say the majority of the plot ends up just being fluff with some necessary angst to move things forward. Basically: if you're looking for something plot-heavy, this is not it. If you're looking for very short fluff, you've come to the right location.

I will say that the art style is genuinely adorable and would be the main thing I would consider picking this up for if you're still interested despite the concept of a rushed plot. It's very cute, the kitten featured in this is adorable, the main characters are drawn very nicely and it's overall a very soft manga. If you're here for good art alone, I'd say it's worth it. If art can't hold up a manga solely on its own for you, then you may want to skip this.

Overall, this is a very short manga with a cute art style and a simple plot. People looking for something more complex will likely be disappointed. People looking for something with a plot that doesn't go very far with its themes and is mostly just cute and simple fluff will likely enjoy this. Because of that, it's hard to give this anything other than a mixed rating, because there are very little things this manga does to stand out in any way that would make it appeal to a larger audience than the crowd it will naturally gather.
