When I started reading this manga, I couldn't get through first chapter, after I did I dropped it, but I felt like I had to read at least one more. Unfortunately I couldn't find English scans and the only online version I did find was very poorly translated, so reading the second chapter was so hard that I had to drop this manga. A time has passed and I thought about the characters because they felt kinda warm to me so when I was picking a new manga, I decided to finally give it one more chance.
This manga has a really interesting premise, as I have mentioned characters also feel real so that combined with great art and interesting twists, gives us a pretty solid manga.
Art (7/10)
I wouldn't say the art work is great, but it is good and it really fits the manga. I don't really have much to say, art is not something that really stands out but still it was good.
Story (8/10)
I found story really interesting, not only the main storyline but the romance one also, as it really reminded me of myself, not the main guy he gets all the girls:(. only thing that I hated was translation, I don't wanna sound mean, but usually the panels would be out of order, I would always get lost and don't get what was happening, and sometimes whole chapters were rearanged. (I don't mean official English scans)
Characters (9/10)
Characters by far are the greatest feat of this manga, they feel extremely real and reletable, one of the things that I really liked, well not really enjoyed, but I was happy that simillar thing that happened to me was in this manga. I as well as Ryu had a crush on two close friend girls, but both of them liked my weird short best friend, (it is a joke he is good looking but short af:)). The only thing that I don't really like about characters are the females.... as not right as it sounds, hear me out, they are not enjoyable, I don't really like how they act and it's not because of my personal feelings, you will get it after reading. Main guy is cool, Akira is great, Ryu was always my favorite, but the author doesn't really care about him and he is seemingly an outcast of the main group in manga so yeah, still great tho.
Enjoyment (8.5/10)
It was pretty easy to read, unfortunately as I've already mentioned, my translation sucked, so it was harder for me to understand the story, but still short and sweet chapters, filled with enjoyable characters made up for everything
Overall (8.5/10)
Don't mind the math, it is just how I feel. There were some things I didn't like, but after reading I wanted more. I know I've talked too much about the characters, but I really liked them, the story was dark and sweet and I really enjoyed every bit of it, the ending was questionable, I wouldn't say bad, but there were some things I didn't like and maybe wanted something different, but it concludes the story well. In conclusion, I would really recommend this manga and I would like to read more from this author.
