This manga, I think the overall concept for the storyline was good, but it was not carried out correctly. The characters like Chou and Kei seem to be one dimensional, fitting into well known manga archetypes. What really bothered me about this manga, was the fact that the mangaka does not go into depth about the background of the story, its just "oh Chouko's parents are dead, oh she's living with Kei, oh she's happy now. It's like they go through 2 years in about a chapter and a half. Once this, is over with the pace of the manga turns in the exact opposite ... direction, becoming slow and almost unreadable. Overall the idea behind the manga seemed to hold potential, but the plot development and characters brought it down immensely. I would not recommend this manga.
