I'm going to be the first to admit this, Match Shoujo is not perfect. That said, I still think that this manga is still one of the best read I've ever had. It's a perfect before-bed manga, because every chapter is one story and sometimes there are some call back to previous chapters or continuations. Every chapter pretty much follows the same path: Rin gives a pack of match, and you then follow what the character does with them. Usually ending with a moral. Every story leaves a lot of room to interpretation and it's very fun to guess each ending.

It's very entertaining to see ... how the characters use the newfound power they get. I wish there was more character development though, as Rin and other's past are only vaguely talked about, but every customer gets very good character development. From volume 2 and up, other recurring characters which are usually connected to Rin will start to appear, diversifying the story and adding a twist. Overall, I recommend this manga even if you don't normally like Seinens. It's a very good read for newbies and veterans of the anime world.
