i really like it!!! it has a refreshing feeling in it!! the balance of love and comedy is very nice indeed... at first i thought that it will really suck because of the summary but it turned out to be far from what im thinking it will be.... Eimi is so innocent, weird and quirky but as expected Wanibuchin is hot...everything in this manga is right on place though the ending looked kind of hurried...i reccomend this to everbody who likes romantic comedies!!!

i am kinda amazed by emmi and her tactics...wat pissed me off is that the guy never took any real initiative to win emmi....it was like a one sided thing where the girl kept chasing the guy....i felt really sorry for simmon also...but what impressed me was the way the mangaka managed to finish the story with a proper ending XD i was kinda doubtful when i saw the number of volumes....but she (mangaka) proved me wrong! the art was not up to my standard though....my taste really. i felt that the chin and nose was way to sharp.

overall this manga is a good read and surprisingly i remember the whole story so it is better than the norm and yes i recommend this manga XD i gave it a 9 was cuz of the art...but i got used to that after awhile....it just happens when u read manga lol

Eimi has got to be one of my favorite manga characters of all time. She's just ridiculous and adorable.

That said, I can't give this manga 10/10 because of the out-of-nowhere, abrupt ending.

Like others have said, this is very good until the incredibly abrupt ending. The characters are all fairly unique and interesting, and the lightness of the story is refreshing. It really feels like it is going to be something great...until it's suddenly done. It makes me wonder if the manga got canceled or something, honestly; it feels like there's this slowly paced buildup that leads to, well, nothing.
That said, I have re-read this a couple of times, because it's pretty short and easy and, as I said, really good until basically the last chapter. I just wish it didn't leave me feeling incomplete every time I finish it :/

LOVE IT

Love love love the protagonist. She is very endearing and also quite original. I mean it! There's a broad spectrum of shoujo lead types yet she is such a lovely outlier from the rest.

I love that there isn't too much inner monologue as well. You actually have to depend on character interaction and the drawings to understand the behaviour of the characters.

This was so different from anything I'm use to reading. Most of the manga was so laid back, but funny. No over the top shenanigans, no drama, not whining, no crying, no fighting. How does this have a shoujo tag!? It was such a breath of fresh air!

Sure Eimi was a bit of an airhead, but not an annoying airhead. She's so beautiful and puts a smile on peoples faces and makes someone want to take care of her. She doesn't whine, she doesn't argue, she doesn't pry into people's business. She's just a normal girl.

As for the romance I quite enjoyed it, but I seriously want to cry when I realized the ending was axed. I mean, it wasn't terrible, but as the ending neared you just get a huge smile on your face and realize what's going to happen next when...BAM! There's the ending, with just a hint at what the outcome was.

Not ideal, but the manga was so enjoyable it wasn't that big of a deal.

For the longest I really wondered if Eimi and Wanibuchi would end up together. I really thought Eimi was in love but she just has a strange, obsessive friendship with Wanibuchi. The ending is the only "hint" that they got together. It was a nice hint, but it was so obvious the ending got axed.
Like, seriously axed. So axed that they could have had another two or three more chapters after!
The ending had so much potential!

Anywho, it's still a brilliant read. The art isn't bad! Eimi is really cute and Wanibuchi is hot! The story is very laid-back and truly a slice of dormitory life. I really enjoyed it.

An endearing slice of life

Unique, quirky, and endearing. The author takes a typical shoujo plot line (high school romance between a strong, cool guy and a nice but dense girl) and brings it to a completely different level. The flow feels genuine and very natural, the romance is both ripe and innocent, and fully adequate for me. The characters are very well portrayed; each has nearly one chapter of spotlight time and makes frequent appearances, brushes, and touches all over the series. I fell in love with each and everyone of them, and enjoy getting to know them rather than focusing on the romance. Thus, I feel that the ending is rather good. All characters stay consistent throughout the series, and there's just no reason to think that they will experience any dramatic change in the near future; in other words, we pretty much know where things will head off to from now on. Life goes on, slowly and sweetly as it always has, some of them get together for a long time and some will part, for that's how high school romances are. I actually love the way the author ends the series, not with a definite "and they all live happily ever after, with children and such", but leaves things all hanging in mid air, no graduation, no college exams, no break up, no get together, no closure whatsoever... Because that's just how being young is. Just an open hallway. At least that's how I feel.
On a side note, her accompanying music is awesome, as always. Do try to stop time after time to check out the tunes for each character, you'll sure have a much better understanding and grow a lot closer to them.

I really liked the main character... Sorta reminded me of the girl from 'The Wallflower' in terms of quirkyness. If you're willing to read about a girl who loves food, is completely oblivious to everything, forthright and speaks her mind without fail, then it will be an enjoyable manga.
On the other hand, if you find the main character annoying, you probably won't like the manga very much... Since the entire story revolves around different episodes surrounding her.

Like most people here, I did a double-take at the ending. But for me, I didn't have a vested interest in the 'ending', it was more the stories and episodes of the main character that I enjoyed.


This is not a literary masterpiece, The story is scattered at times. Most of the male characters look the same to me, so I would get confused as to who was speaking. But, it was a very enjoyable manga. I simply loved the main character.

a kind of chill vibe

Might be largely due to the characters' expressions (which are not very expressive, for better or for worse), but this manga seemed much more chill than its plot really is. The relationship between the two characters and the conflicts of the story were all dealt with in a somewhat subtle manner that didn't evoke much emotion. This was also likely courtesy of the easygoing main character + the cool love interest. It was actually pretty enjoyable to read, but like most of the comments mention, the ending was disappointingly abrupt. Even if you were to compare it to the rest of the story it was anticlimactic at best. While I personally would still recommend it, don't expect anything once you reach the final chapter.

It is why I gave only 7. The story wasn't bad. The characters were well developed, and the drawing is good. With simple traces the characters were shown as sexy, regular or funny people. But the end...
Spoiler (highlight to view)
It is amazing how a manga that took 28 chapters to be completed was finished in a so unsatisfactory way. As said before, it was so sudden that I had to go back and check, is it really the end? Am I not missing anything? So here you have your answer: NO you are not missing this is really a very abrupt ending.
