It was so confusing, I decided to write my first review.

The art is really nice, but quite typical. There're some nice fragments, but nothing stunning. It's quite appropriate to the story, and that's the biggest plus for this manga.

The rest of it... Oh my.
The first chapter gives good impression. It's serious, it's dramatic and seems to be realistic - that's nice! Besides that, the story touches some really important topic and I thought that maybe finally I found manga which teaches girls that life isn't so nice and sweet. But nope!

I liked the concept, art and the pace of first chapter. However, what came after ... was quite disappointing. There was too much drama for such short story, events were unrealistic and personalities of the characters were just too unclear for me. Main heroine is quite nice girl, but the boys - especially Yuki - oh my, I can't stand them. Both of them act like lunatics, once they are understanding and overprotective, but later they are not so nice. OK, the situation is complicated, but it lacks consequence and reason. Besides that - for such short story, where author put so much action, there are too many unnecessary scenes. And finally, the ending is so much deux ex machina that it's quite awesome. Really, is making well-balanced story really that difficult?

It could be magnificent. It really could. But it's just decent I suppose - maybe good start made my expectations too high? I'm not sure.
