I'm sure my rating for this manga will be, well, maybe too extreme, but I mean it. PikaIchi is one of my favorites so far. At first, I was looking through the romance genre and came across this manga. I thought, why not? Sounds interesting. And it definitely was.
The reason why I give 10/10 for the score is for story, art, and character. The plot is very unique, and I would say it is well done combining both comedy and drama, along with romance.
In terms of the artwork and characteristics, I just love how the characters are drawn. They show a different image from a typical "shy character", and the transformation was amazing. The characters each have their own purpose in the story, and I believe their backgrounds are well portrayed and not at all irrelevant to the story.
In total, I would say this manga is great. 10/10!
