As you might have guessed from the introduction of this review, 7-Jikanme no Note does not have an amazing story. It follows high school students who are in love, just like every other romance manga out there. But don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing. This manga aims to be cute and heartwarming, and fulfills this goal well. They stay close to their roots, and never tries something too grandiose. There is nothing much else to say. 7-Jikanme no Note is a simple manga, with a simple story that is simply cute and heartwarming.
I will end up repeating myself, but the art is cute and simple, just like its story. It does not have amazing character designs or amazing backgrounds. However, one thing that I can say for sure is that its cute. Compared to other manga, the characters in 7-Jikanme no Note look as if they are in middle school, although they are in high school. For some people, I can understand that they would dislike this, however, it adds to the whole cuteness of this manga. Overall, the art style in this manga fits perfectly its story.
At this point, it should be pretty obvious. Everything in this manga is cute and heartwarming. And this goes for the characters as well. The protagonists, which is the couple, are simply adorable and have some of the best interactions I have seen between couples in manga. However, if these characters were alone, they would probably make for bland protagonists. This is how the author of 7-Jikanme no Note creates such great characters in my opinion. It is not the characters that are amazing, but rather the interactions between those. And it goes for the side characters as well. The interactions between all of them are either cute or heartwarming, or sometimes both, which allows for the characters personalities to be emphasized even though they do not necessarily have an exceptional one. All of the characters complement each other, creating for great characters and great interactions.
If you did not guess by now, I love cute and heartwarming manga. I had a fun time reading it, which is all that matters in the end. It is not the best manga I have read, but it still brought forth a really enjoyable read.
In the end, 7-Jikanme no Note is a really good manga the I would recommend to anybody who likes simple, cute, and heartwarming romance stories. It does not bring anything new or special to romance mangas in general, however, it allows it to bring forth a really enjoyable read. Consider giving this manga a shot for something sweet and simple to read.
