the long, and in depth portion.
there are some things that shoujo fails at and this is usually the art. they need to tell the story more through words, have characters with emotive faces, to convey the situations, and to that extent its a success.
however when ever the action ramps up, or things start moving a bit fast, the art falls flat on its face, and this is a BIG way this manga fails at the last chapters. suffice to say, they needed to be a bit more explained or drawn out.
the characters, at least the main 2 and the few attendants, you get to know pretty well, anyone else however, you will be going back chapters to figure out who the hell they are. granted this may be because i read it as it was coming out, but fact remains besides the main characters and attendants, the shoujo art style fails to make any of the side characters memorable at all.
as for the plot, chapter 1 i don't consider a spoiler, if you do skip this. the relation ship mostly stays that way, but its obvious that its moveing all the time, its not like most shoujo where the relationship goes nowhere and suddenly BAM progression hits you in the face, or a mix of progression and regression.
as for the over all plot, its decent, but poorly executed, but this was never about the background plot, this was always about the relation between the two mains, and thats where this shines.
now, my enjoyment of this is basically this, it was a romance, that had comedy elements, was never overly serious, and moved allong. because it was what i was looking for i LOVE this one. you may not as much as me.
this isn't typical shoujo, as in the crap you think of when you think shoujo, however that said, its not the next great manga either, if you go into this expecting average, you will be surprised its better than you thought.
