I wasn't particularly impressed with the first two volumes of this manga. I don't particularly care for ecchi, and the chapters in these volumes all had scenes of Anzu either being naked, almost naked, or getting into some sort of sexually charged 'misunderstanding' with Ginnosuke. I don't really find much humor in ecchi, so those two volumes almost put me off the series. Things start to turn around in the third volume, which sees another character introduced, the existing characters get better developed, the ecchi content disappears, and Anzu's clothes stop emphasizing her chest. The story also begins to build in drama and complexity, doing a much better job of drawing you in and making you feel connected to the characters.
The switch in tone for the manga really helped to turn it into an enjoyable story. All of the story line were wrapped up by the end (although I was left wanting a little more with some of them). The art, while not perfect, seems well-suited to the story. The characters are also well done, and their development feels natural and earned.
