Good grief, a one shot that should’ve stayed a one-shot. This manga perfectly encompasses what a one-shot adaptation should not do: ignore every aspect of world-building and plot that a normal manga would have. To say the least, I’m not a fan of this manga because everything is left open-ended, especially with all the key details in character or motives.
There are not many explanations in this manga, so there’s not a chance for the reader to get emotionally invested in the main characters’ relationship, nor is there much catharsis at the end of the chapters. To summarize the chapters, they follow a simple plot line that gets rinsed and repeated, presumably for the rest of the story.
The plot’s just not unique enough for this manga to be anything noteworthy besides for a cute read here and there. If that’s your style, then have at it, but it gets boring after the same formula is used over and over again with barely any signs of development.
