Open Sesame was at best an average story with a mediocre ending. The story starts out typically with a bold boy joining a school that had recently turned coed. That's about as interesting it's going to get.
Story: 5- The story is frustrating. The author set a great tone by having the boy vs. girl theme throughout the first few chapters, but dramatically changes into them doing random things together without enough reasons.
That being said, the chapters were long, and not in a good way. Having long chapters can lead to character development, plot twists or advancements, and even more dialogue. Sadly enough
...
not much development or advancement occurs.
In my eyes, this manga could have been finished in a mere 20-30 chapters, and nothing would have been left out.
Art: 6- The art is fine, with the only problem being half the girl characters have literally the same hair styles, with only a few minor changes.
Character: 5- Well the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of all the characters is unrealistic. Literally everyone has a perfect personality with zero faults. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone that has any real issues, or personality problems. The author even neglects a few interesting characters by cutting them off completely from the story which was extremely disappointing. With that being said Yamato was by far the only character with any real development throughout the story.
Overall: 5- It was slow, filled with snail paced drama, and even a predictable ending. By the time I was near the end, I was trudging along trying to end this manga. If you have the time read it, but don't expect anything special.
