A slow start for the story while characters were introduced, this story built up into something truely heartwarming.

The plot idea, as most who are interested to read this manga can tell, is very original and you probably have yet to read anything like this. However, I do feel that the story lacked a tiny bit of development in terms of the plot. And if you want to see very lovey dovey scenes, well you won't get it from this manga (you'll get really heartwarming scenes though, which i feel is just as good)

The characters are very unique and what made me come to love this manga is the character development, especially in the later part of the manga (since, as i said earlier, the manga started pretty slow and slowly built up). The main (male) character slowly came to be (and love) himself for who he really is through the different experience with his friends and other characters.

What I love the most from this manga is how every character is developed, not so much so that it is overly draggy, but enough for you to understand their actions and how they change. See, character development right here for you. While the side characters were being developed, the main characters weren't left out either, and you could see the relationship between each character grow.

Art was beautiful too. Look at it. Enough said.

If you have time and some patience (to get through the front part of background infomation and slow build up) please pick up this manga. I promise you you will not regret it.

Honestly I dropped this manga for a bit after the front part because of how slow it was, but when i picked it up again boy did i regret dropping it. So if you ever get bored of it, just stop reading it and leave it for another time.

ps. it's quite funny here and there too, especially with how "manly" Ryo is and how Asuka can just randomly break out with sparkling eyes (he's so cute!!)
