Story : 8
The story is relatively unique, but at the same time sort of cliche. It has a typical shounen style setup, with a MC having a dream, but failing repeatedly to achieve it. Then along his journey, he encounters a few friends who help him along, and also some setbacks, which he thoroughly brushes off with sheer obliviousness and kindness. In the end, he archives this goal, and lives happily ever after.
The first thing after reading( or maybe even during ) you notice is that the story really seems rushed. This feels so especially after the 14 chapter. This can contribute to the sense of stress and panic the MC feels from his manga I suppose. The characters have really weird motivations, and also their personality changes don't really make sense sometimes. This causes disconnects, which really hurt the story.
Art : 7
The art isn't terribly good, but manages to convey the mangaka's vision, if somewhat in a lackluster way. The character designs were very downplayed, sticking close to what a real human would look like, no crazy hair or anything. There is fan service, but only a few scenes, and they only last a couple of frames each.
Characters : 6
The characters are the basis of any romcom, and as such they need to be fully established. The characters in koimoku are relatively stereotypical, and some don't even have any backstory, and feel like they were just thrown in for that one purpose, to help the MC. Some characters frequently break character, leaving disconnects in their image, which doesn't help. Interaction sometimes seems forced, so many scenes have a a very awkward feel to them.
Enjoyment : 6
This is a manga for enjoyment. All manga is for enjoyment. If a manga doesn't even fulfill this small task, is is inevitably going to fail. Koimoku provided enough of enjoyment, but didn't really broach anything new. The last few chapters had some really fast paced scenes, but this really breaks from the rest of the manga.
Overall : 7
WOULD RECOMMEND BASED ON TASTES
This isn't a manga everyone will enjoy. This isn't a question of ecchi lover or not. This is a question of whether the characters are more important, or the overall setting and story. This is invariably a story and setting manga in my opinion, and relies on its readers' curiosity and interest in manga and its industry to attract them.
