Story - 8
The plot never fully seems like it's being motivated by dumb rom-com tropes.
The ending overall is wonderful and gives a good sense of closure.
Art - 7
Good. It's not trash. The moe designs are cute, the reaction faces are great. It's a 4-koma. What do you expect?
Character - 10
The characters are the best part of this manga. They break down normal genre stereotypes and genuinely feel lifelike. Obviously, the humor is very manga-like, but the interactions between them all fit properly. The interactions between the male lead and his best friend are the best.
ALSO, THE CHARACTERS DEVELOP. ROMANCE HAPPENS. STATUS QUO = DESTROYED
Enjoyment - 10
I love Hakoiri Drops. It's a shame it doesn't get more recognition.
