The heroine of the story is Mikuni, your average cheerful girl, who lives alone with her mom, a scientist obsessed with penguins. She has a crush on Chiho, a good looking guy who is a bit harsh and narcissistic, but actually likes her too. They start going out, but just when they're about to kiss for the first time, they are interrupted by their homeroom teacher, Nishizono. He seems like a serious, indifferent guy, ut after this event, he starts harassing Mikuni in a playful, not really that creepy way. Things start getting weirder when Mikuni's mum announces she's leaving to work in the South Pole and none other than Nishizono will take her place as Mikuni's guardian. That, of course, means he'll live in her house, just the two of them (it's amazing how aloof are some manga parents).
I've read ten chapters so far, and one of the things that bother me is how undeveloped is the character of Mizuni. We know virtually nothing about her, and her quick changes of attitude (and heart) left me a little bemused. I honestly wouldn't know how to describe her other that "cheerful". But at least, she's likable.
I give this manga extra points for managing to build an actual interesting love triangle. Usually I dislike them, because I've made up my mind in the first chapter of which guy I like the better and I'm frustrated by the wavering affections of the heroine. But in this case, both guys are equally attractive (personality wise) and I think that many readers will find that it's not so easy to pick between them.
Overall, it's a fun read. I doubt it will leave you with a very lasting impression, but if you're a fan of traditional shoujo, you'll enjoy the adventures of Mikuni, the romantic scenes and the humorous tone of the story.
