Parallel can be considered a typical story about a boy and a girl living together in one roof. There are not many animes/mangas that do this theme well. Even though they are not many producers that make this theme, I am please to say that the producers did a good job in Parallel

Story:
The story becomes very intriguing in the start of the manga, however as the manga develops on, it starts to throw random scenes into the manga. This however could be a bad thing for some readers, but in this case, it worked well. The character development, which I will go into detail later, slowly progresses throughout the story, and the main character Nekota sometimes gets himself into tight situations. One major disappointment of the storyline is the length, I would have wish for more chapters to further more develop the characters and the story.

Art:
The art is quite typical for a normal shounen manga, there’s nothing too interesting about the art. But it is easy to follow and easy on the eyes. The characters look great, no question about that but some of the male characters look dodgy as mentioned by Master_M2K but nevertheless the art is still pleasing to read.

Character:
You can expect the characters to be very typical and predictable. The main character as mentioned above gets stuck into awkward moments with the female protagonist. This can be fairly funny at times, but when it happens too many times, it just gets repetitive. The characters develop slowly in the manga;where a potential brother falls in love with his 'potential' sister. There are more characters in the manga which gives the manga a comedy element to laugh upon.

Enjoyment:
This short, yet funny manga is really easy to read. Most of it can be predictable but you can still read the funny moments in the manga. I really enjoyed the manga and I bet you will too.

Overall:
Overall this manga will make you craving for more, even when there is no more, and it will make you intrigued throughout the manga.
