First time review writing! Not sure why I decided to do it for a relatively unpopular one-shot, but whatever:

Story: 6/10 [Minor Spoilers]

The premise for this story is good, a couple of good, childhood friends are together a lot and as time went by, the girl developed feelings for the guy and would like to further their relationship through the form of a kiss. Pretty typical shoujo-romance plot.

However, with this one-shot, the author attempted to throw in so much background and different conflicts that the story ended feeling very rushed, jumpy, and difficult to follow. The attempted drama also felt a bit unneeded; especially in ... regards to the addition of the "fake boyfriend."

Overall, it was cute, but cute can only get you so far.

Art: 8/10

Not really much to say here, it was solid art, but nothing spectacular.

Character: 5/10

As someone who reads primarily shoujo related manga, I know characters tend to stick to a set style, and this one-shot is no different. The characters had typical, flat personalities that didn't stick out; a bit harsh for a one-shot, but that's just the way it is.

Enjoyment: 7/10

This was fluffy, and fluffy is good in my eyes; but as I stated previously, this one-shot stuck pretty heavily to the typical shoujo formula and can't be considered anything amazing. I gave it a 7 because I'm a shoujo guy.

Overall: 6/10

This story suffered from a lack of length. If the author were to extend this story from a one-shot into a series with about 2-3 volumes, giving the characters, plot, and backstories more time to be developed, I believe this would have a much better outcome.
