The actual story takes a bit to take off, and feels very slow and unexciting until it does. However, once it does progress, you find yourself in the midst of a heartwarming relationship that you can't help but root for. The two main protagonists come from separate worlds but are united by the common bond of arcade fighter games.
It may take some time to get used to the art styl. I personally was not a huge fan of the art and characters at times, particularly in the case of the protagonist and the background characters. The main protagonists see good character development as you get to know them better through various stories.
In the end, it does turn out to be a pretty heartwarming manga. If you pick up this manga, be a bit patient with it and you'll definitely enjoy it. Those of you who grew up alongside arcade fighting games will also have a good time with the references that this manga throws out. Those of you who aren't familiar with side-scrolling fighting games will still find a budding romance or two to cheer on.
