Not the Best by xfrommetoyou on October 9th, 2009, 12:10am

It's a quick and short read that would be recommended to those who have time to kill.
The plot seemed rather... incomplete. There wasn't much of a complication nor a resolution, and that was the downfall of the manga.
A cute and fluffy read - best for shoujo lovers or those generally a fan of Sakai Mayu's works.
The art is quite good, although not developed as her later works.

--completed the series

Meh by Gingeh on April 28th, 2009, 7:44am

It was good, but the ending was disappointing. You can't even really call that a final chapter - it didn't have an 'ending' feel to it at all. I felt like the mangaka just got bored and decided, "Hey, you know what? I don't feel like making another chapter. I know! I'll just do a bunch of side-stories instead!

When almost half of the manga is side-stories and oneshots, you know it can't be very good.

Not That Great by Kittenn1011 on September 7th, 2008, 1:53pm

I won't go and say that it's a waste of time... but it wasn't great at all. The artwork was cute, and so were the characters, but there was no plot. I found no point to the story, and no romance to back up the plotless-ness.

It's cute, though in a pathetic way. Not really a manga worth going crazy over. I'm giving it a two for the artwork alone.

Skip it. by Twilight_Moon on July 23rd, 2008, 7:32am

The art's cute. It shows billards. Those are probably the only redeeming qualities of the manga. Sure some nice shoujo fluff. But it's nothing new. It'll just end up in a pile of all the finished typical shoujo manga on my complete list... Just skip it. It's not worth your time..

hungry by Licia Valentine on January 15th, 2008, 7:57am

Hmmm... yet another story that deserves a review. There is so little romance in this title, makes one wonder, "Is this really a shoujo?!" This is my first try on Sakai-sensei's work and... I am not planning on reading more of that at the moment. felt... a hunger for romance. This is the first time among the shoujo mangas I've read though.... Ah~ I hope she try her best!

not the best by Xuan on August 9th, 2007, 10:44pm

its not a manga that you would get interested in but the art is really great. its not a fast paced plot and there's no antagonist. its basically one of those happy-go-lucky mangas. again the art is great <---deserves 5/6 of my rating
