This manga was definitely a trip. So many concepts! In the span of 37 chapters, I am not sure that so many story arcs were needed, but ok.

The story is centred about an indecisive girl, who in just three chapters turns out to be highly motivated artist, and a firm decisive boy who turns out to be doubting every steps he makes and is kind of living in the shadow of his family. It is based in Art school prep.

The two main characters are cute, well drawn and have a huge chunk of development in their personality and confidence. Sadly, we cannot say the ... same thing about the supporting characters as they are always stuck in the same place, with same feelings and seems to be only serving the FL and ML to develop their story. They never move on with their lives. In fact we never get to know anything about their lives, except they have some sort of relationship with the leads. I think this is the main weakness of this manga since it had the great opportunity to show us different aspects of being an art student, how different each artist and their art (even art process) can be.

The art is definitely a strong point, all the characters were drawn beautifully, as well as their artwork.

Overall I actually did enjoy this manga, mainly because of its art school setting (as I studied art school as well), but I feel it did not utilize the topic as well as it could. I enjoyed and thought it was nice and sweet how the two main characters supported each other and grew together throughout the series.

The ending felt rushed and unrealistic and I think the story could have easily had another volume, that would close the series with all the grace it deserved, but we still recieved a satisfactory ending, so lets not be mad.

Well, if you are looking for manga that is a crossover between Twilight (yeah, I man the vampire novel series) and Kamisama Hajimemashita, look no futher. The story is about a human girl, that turns out to be not as human as you would expect (devine fruit, a temptation for demons, hello Stephanie Meyer) and a boy, demon, always tempted. They fall in love and face various difficulties. the story is actually quite enjoyable, as it has various arcs, that are all clever and fresh.

However, same as in Twilight, main female protagonist fails to protect and take care of herself an is all.the.time ... in need of assistance of male lead. This never change. She is always the pretty, tempting and helpless damsel in distress, from beginning to the end. Her only ambition is to be a bride to the male lead. She is almost everytime unable to make decision for herself. There are not many female characters in the story and if there any, they are either in a relationship with a friend of the male lead, in love with the male lead (with exeption of heroin's mother) and always helpless and dependant on men. The male characters are not that flat. This makes it so unrealistic, chauvinistic, and brings, otherwise good plot of the manga with great world, way waaaay down.

Ok, I am biased because I fell in love with how is the main love interest drawn at first sight (long hair that doesn't get cut during the manga !!), but seriously, this is very nice, sweet and light hearted manga, that i recommend to anybody, that likes school life shojo. Yes, it doesn't step outside its box, but come one, what can you really do in 8 chapters.

Story is not really anything original, unsociable girl meets group of handsome boys that persuade her to join their club, because she is unlikely to fall in love with them and, indeed falls in love with one ... of them in the end. I somehow feel that the story laid a good ground for it to be developed further in more chapters and we don't get that, which is a big shame. (for example Mirai's relationship with her parents, we don't really know anything about Rin except he is tsundere and likes stars like his father, Rin and Honokas friendship, any background of the other male supporting characters, etc.) I'd just love to see more, honestly.

The art is this manga's very strong point. I think it is very beautifully drawn, from expressive faces to detailed accessories and is not lacking a typical shojo dreaminess. As I said earlier, I enjoyed how the male characters are drawn fresh, especially Rin.

This manga is so sweet and deserves much more attention! The story is not complicated although it deals with topics like teenage parenthood and trauma from being adopted. However, most importnant and beautiful thing about this manga are its characters, their interactions and changes in their lives that they undergo. They are very very well written, never flat, everything is believable without uneccessary drama. I just love how the characters grow, learn and communicate with each other, trust each other and learn to depend more on other people throughout the series. I love their growing maturity and understanding of changes happening inside and dealing ... with them. In my opinion it is less romance manga and more coming of age story that you will read in one breath.

.... I am conflicted about the art, it is not typical shojo-manga-style, eyes are smaller, bodies less leaner, overall leaning towards realism nevertheless I have come to appreciate it.

Short and sweet manga about a school girl discovering double identity of her teacher. If you like stories around music and rock bands, are waiting for that 85th chapter of NANA and want to spend some quality time reading good teacher/student love story, hesitate no more! I am not usually a fan of forbidden lovers narratives but this one is just sweet, well written and not at all heavy committed (you don’t get the cringy I love you to death sensei type of vibe at all). 

My only regret is,that the piece could have been longer and plot more developed, since the story is not ... your typical shojo cliché and the characters are somewhat fresh.
