Moderator Note: This review was originally written for Haru no Ame, but has since been merged into Koi wa Hito no Hoka.

I gave this manga a 3 because the art is nice, but seriously... is there even a story here?

Yuina doesn´t know why her boyfriend has started avoiding her since the very moment they started dating. The story basically consists of revealing the reason for his behavior. The reason, however, is not only absurd, but also lacking in originality.

Needless to say, there is no character development. I didn't expect it either. Short one-shots work differently. They obviously don't give space to get deep into ... the characters psycology. They only allow us to get a glips. That´s risky. If there is no overwhelming or charming feature in any of the characters, if there is nothing special about the plot or the art, there is a great risk that the manga will end up being absolutely forgettable.

I don't think the author expected this manga to be unforgettable, though. I guess the aim of the manga was to depict a funny scene. I didn't find it funny. Doesn´t mean others won´t.

In any case, the manga is only 9 pages long, so -if you want to read it- even if you agree that it is bad, at least you will not waste too much time reading it.
