The manga tells a variety of interconnected stories in a style similar to Tsurezure Children, with the protagonist shifting every chapter or so. The stories aren’t particularly deep, with plots typically moving forward through the powers of teen angst and passionate speeches from supportive side characters. That said, almost all the stories are entertaining, with distinct enough plots and characters worth rooting for.
The art is extremely well done, with people being drawn with especially clean and detailed line art.
The characters themselves are endearing, but a little flat. Most of them are defined by one or two traits, but still manage to bounce of each other well. Due to the rotating protagonists, even if you dislike a character, they won’t be in the spotlight for long.
The only major issue is with the messages of some stories. The characters occasionally preach some really dated or faulty values, which just kinda make you go "...what?" These weird values really only ruined one story for me, so it's a pretty easy problem to overlook. It could just be my personal beliefs clashing with the mangaka's, but if what I described sounds like something you’d hate, you might want to steer clear of this series.
All in all, Musunde Hiraite is just a good romance manga to turn your brain off for and enjoy. It’s just plain fun, so if you like romance, I’d recommend giving it a shot.
